Hello, folks. Im having certain appreciation for acid/ nu jazz these days and i want to make some experiments recording transversal flute as in records like these:









Wich effect do i have to use like this? Just delay? Or reverb too? Echos maybe?

By the way, i dont think they use mic effects in those cases, right?


Well, thanks for any help.


Oh, almost forgot: i use audacity to record.

I'm not going to listen to the songs all the way through, but it sounds like there's no drastic effect on the flutes in either of them, and I don't know what "transversal" means in this context.

It sounds to me like the first example has much more reverb than the first, and probably less compression. Flute is basically center in the stereo field. Nothing really crazy going on here.

Hello!  I think that the effect that you are referring to is that the flautist is vocalizing as he blows the flute. This creates a thicker, more breathy effect than normal. Both tracks have this, in the first one it is much more prominent.

Yes a noticed it. but in that case it is a vocal effect, i think they also use recording effects of some sort.

Apart from a little reverb, I can't hear any significant added effects. Can you be more specific about what it is that you are hearing?

a transverse flute is just the type of flute used - all western classical flutes are transverse flutes.
 
The timbre of the note is controlled by how it is blown, not by any electronic effects - the distorted fluttering is a form of embouchure - using the shape of the mouth to modulate the velocity, force and turbulence of the air stream.
