HI,
Is it just me or does this oud sound different? http://vimeo.com/2923404
I actually like the sound a lot it sounds refreshing. How would I be able to make my oud sound like this?

You could start by paying out of tune?:D

It's a floating bridge oud, that might be the sound you're thinking of . . . :shrug:

Its recorded in a studio and the sound was cleaned up quite a bit.

Yes :shrug:




I'm sure your oud could sound like that if you put your head inside the bowl. No?

Unnatural equalization.

There is some sound processing in it, and it was recorded with a Beyerdynamic ribbon microphone (as far as I can se in the video) This is a very fast mic, very suitable for oud and guitar and gives, like all well made ribbons, a very silky sound.

best wishes
