I spent a lot of time today on my cello quest. In the end, I picked the SM57, and the Sennheiser e906 (mainly because I'd been using 3 of them for a Queen Tribute - and they did quite well on AC30 amps. I went with the AKG 414 and the U87.

Cello and Piano Mics for small room

Submitted by Joong-In Rhee on Tue, 05/26/2020 - 23:34

I am recording cello and piano in a small-medium size room that is too bright and live acoustically - I can't really treat it except to put a blanket under the piano.

What mic setup would you all recommend? I always used X-Y stereo on 2 small diaphragm cardoid mics and a large diaphram cardoid as spot mic up close (6 inches).

Pan question on Cello and piano recording

Submitted by Joong-In Rhee on Sat, 05/23/2020 - 02:14

Recording cello and piano, I am going with XY stereo far and above, and spot mics for both instruments (two for piano amd one for cello).

I pan only the spots, and not the XY stereo track, right?

Thanks in advance...

Hello!

I explain a little about my situation. I am a violinist and I have some experience in recordings (rather being recorded, which has given me some experience especially in editing) but I do not have much experience as far as recording equipment is concerned, now I only have a Zoom H6 and a couple of mics Studio Projects C4 with which I usually record some concerts.

Improving acoustics for cello

I spent last summer working on a basement studio (installing a new ceiling of layers of think drywall on hat channel, making bass traps, and other treatment.) The space is now a quiet place to practice and record but it is too dead for my liking.
