Tomorrow I'm going to be doing sound for a violinist. In fact the only instrument will be a violin. I plan to mic it with a Shure SM81 above the violin 8-12 inches, my other options are a 57, and some mic by Crown I'm not even sure what it is. I was wondering what the best method is to get a good sound. In terms of EQ what frequencys are good and bad for a violin? My EQ has a sweeping (maybe parametric I'm not certain) low and high and parametric low mid and high mid, as any advice is appreciated. Also is a little reverb a good idea? Thanks for the advice!
