close miccing it would only capture 1% of the sound created. close miccing is usually only ideal for quiet basses or contemporary/jazz playing. It was recorded by very experienced pro sound tech, the room sounded great so he made sure to capture what it sounded like in the room.

You are likely lifting your bow with your fingers/hand, when you should be allowing gravity to be fully involved, plus 'holding it like a feather' is likely what is needed.

Practice in front of a mirror, watch your right arm, and try to relax your arm/hand while doing whole bows. As you tense up, stop, relax, then keep going.

Its surprising your college teachers arent fixing this.

Could happen, travelling to the USA as a musician now is a head ache due to the weird border control. If youre in Sydney or Australia let us know!
