How can i reproduce this sound?

[alexo slayer]

Hi 👋 i'm alex .i'm new here .happy to find you. I want help for the identification of a chords / strings instrument, it's in the beginning of the youtube video :  https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxTF7iLeLH628s6-Fgtlh4v_e90jUTaXnS

I think it's an oud but which amplifier should i have for the effects/modification on the instrument ?(for live playing)

Hi Alexo

 

Almost definitely an oud. It has a pretty distinctive sound. Effects wise it sounds like a simple delay with a one or two repeats and a light hall reverb. Nothing too complicated.  Otherwise there is a backing of waves and sea birds.

 

What are you recording it for?

 

Cheers

That’s a whole load of recording decisions made there! If you use a pick up you will lose the acoustic qualities of the oud. Is there a reason why you are not record using a microphone?

This is with pick up (on the video)...do you think that is damaging the sound quality? What microphone you suggesting? Inside the oud or infront the rosace?

I was thinking about the pick up because it's one piece with the instrument and easier to transport...
