I've also posted this topic on another forum, so apologies if you read it twice.
I've been booked to record a solo classical guitarist. Problem is he has extremely loud breathing - like a growl at times, and I think it is a nervous tic kind of thing because he doesn't do it when he's not playing. I've done a test recording and there are some very audible breathing sounds (more than is acceptable). Does anyone have any tips (mic placement or otherwise) - obviously I don't want to make the guy self conscious. I've been using a Schoeps ORTF pair at about 1 - 1.5 m away.
Thanks.
