Lately I’ve been experimenting with a 2 piece band.  Grand piano/drums/vocals.

I’m using a Shure beta 52 over the piano bass strings heavily lowpassed at 200Hz and sidechain gated to one of 2 contact mics attached to the underside of the soundboard. I’m using C-Ducers.   They give me rich sound.  I’m also adding a stereo pair of Behringer C2’s for air.

Good evening guys,

I am very new to all this recording malarkey so bear with! I have only been researching online about home recording over the last couple of days so my knowledge is pretty limited on this topic.

I have to run sound for a quintet. Violin, DoubleBass, Elec GTR, Acordeon(Bandoneon) and Acoustic Grand Piano.

We will be on tour in many locations around Europe and China, but first we must make some gigs at my country, Argentina.

The range of Pianos we use goes from Ronish 1/4 to Steinway 1/2.

how do you think it will sound?
they should have done it with samples.

I have heard that some people tune their pianos slightly different for recording...

Well, I've had it with digital pianos and Gigapiano, I just can't get a satisfying sound and realistic dynamics from anything I've tried, so I am buying an upright to use in my recordings, but I have no idea how to place the mikes, or what type of mikes (low budget) I need to do this. Any help will be greatly appreciated !
