I really enjoyed this course. It taught me how to record an quintet strings and orchestra using different techniques and different mics.

Piggybacking off of what Spence mentioned about swapping seats and altered tunings (which can cause their own set of issues) is to have the players do one pass with mutes on and another pass where any vibrato is removed and played straight. This really helps to define parts and add texture without the issues of tuning being skewed.

Great tutorial from Singing Canary Productions, where else is this possible from the convenience of my home, well other than with MPV.

Nice series. I feel compelled to point out that in video #13 where he demonstrates how he's done several takes and combined them to make the orchestra sound bigger, it had a lot of problems that we actually talked about in school (berklee). This sounded like it had some chorusing because the parts were just TOO perfect together. This is a common problem, and some ways around this include having players switch seats, trade instruments, even detune a few cents up or down, moving the mics, etc. The goal being to make each take as different as possible.
