How to mic a double bass
Close miking an instrument is often considered to be
a compromise to the instrument’s true acoustic sound. An instrument’s
sound is usually designed to be experienced at a distance so that all
the different elements of the sound are naturally blended into a perfect
harmony. Yet often, mounting a microphone directly on the instrument is
the most practical solution.
