The Humpback Wail (Didgeridu), by Duane Nickull

January 5, 2007 - 17:48 — duane

This is an interpretation of a North American Aborginal folktale on the Yidaki (a.k.a. Didgeridoo, Didgeridu) recorded live at a performance at Ten Thousand Villages in Vancouver January 4, 2007. If anyone wants the raw sample of just the didge, please let me know and I'll upload it. You are free to download, sample, use this in any other mix. A credit would be nice but not necessary.

Didgeridu recorded with Shure M 57, Tone Port UX2, Live 6!

Mic'ing a Didgeridu is a bit tricky given there are very subtle sweet spots. I recorded myself by placing a Shure M57 in a place where I could move the didge to fine tune the waves impact on the condenser. Once I started playing, I tried to stay in one place and got the raw sound recorded. The set up uses a Toneport UX2 to route the audio signal into Ableton Live 6. Once the track was finished recording, I saturated it in Live 6 to get a thicker curve then applied a compresser, Phaser and 8 band graphic EQ.

Please let me know if you want some raw didgeridu samples to work with in your mixes (or anyone else).

Duane
