Recording piano and vocals - help!

Forums

I'm a piano teacher and composer and am exploring the options of investing in some technology to record both my own compositions and my piano lessons.

I've got my eye on a super bit of mixing kit but am completely stumped as to the best way of setting up mics so that they pick up both the piano and myself and the student's voices. I don't even know which mics would be the best.

Condenser mics for screaming vocals?

Forums

Well, I record a lot of speed punk music (think old DRI, RKL, Suicidal Tendencies, etc...), and I've just about had it with my Audix OM5.

Need help recording vocals in stereo! :)

Forums

I'm brand new to this, and have just bought a PreSonus 1394 Preamp, which I control via a window on my computer. So far, when I plugin my mic to try vocal recordings, it's recording one-sided... as in, right headphone records from the right mic input, left from the left. I'm sure I don't have to have two mics to get a stereo recording, right? :)
