Anyone got experience record two flutes at once? Or even one?
Asking for a friend.... they want to record a duet at their home and produce a Compact Disc.
If it wasn’t a covid blizzard out I’d record them at my place (maybe an option in a few months). I’ve got all the gear.

BTW if you find someone, ask the floutist to record the flute part to Traffic's "40,000 Headmen".

A bit of both. Their looking to do it themselves but I’m also able to offer to do it.
I’ve got the equipment just no experience.

I' ve never recorded a wind instrument before but I imaging it wouldn't be much differernt that a guitar on an open mic.

That said;

Place the mic 1 1/2 (half meter) away from the flute
maybe offset where there is no breath hitting the mic. Not sure I would use a pop filter but you could.
The dynamics may possibily be great so you might want to use a limiter though a well tuned compressor would be better and/or followed by a limiter.
Do test tracks to check levels and for clipping anywhere along the chain.
Decide whether you want room ambience included in the recording. Deteremines input levels and mic distance
I would use one mic for both flutes and record at the same time. Better if there are harmonizing parts. Look for vids on one mic recording.

All things I’ve considered!
I’m going to suggest against the single mic approach. Two to three mics will give her more separation and flexibility at mixing.
I sent her a video example of what not to do. It’s a duet in a small room with one mic ... and while the performance is great the audio quality suffers. (Clipping and lots of room noise)

Also here’s a teen playing a 9 inch pink flute like a pro

Then why did you ask/


If the musicians adjust tone and volume while playing to get that "feel" 2 mic setup might not pick it up. Who knows the room may have some great acoustics.

Bought these because of the St Patrick's Day. This is the first time I celebrate it. I also take it to the Irish people (Ivan as example) - the cider on the pic is an Irish cider that I bought from Lidl.

Not on my toes! Geez! Try using your hands.

I'm way beyond that. Calloused side of me thumb. I can make it sore if I try but never a full blowd blister.
