My audio interface is Sound Devices Mix Pre 6 and it records straight to SD. I want to record my Yamaha C3E grand piano in a way that I won't ever need to go to a studio. I currently use Zoom H2n. I want to record 4-8 hours per day. Solo, duets, four hands etc. I have a list of microphones in matched pairs (many of them are stereo too). Which one will give me super professional results?
Dear Audio friends,
a basic question :
how do you measure how loud an audio preamp can go ? How loud it can pre-amplify the music ?
Which is the value that I should be looking for ?
Thank you very much .
Kind Regards
Alexander
RO is back and I want these guys in the band!
I prefer the 160s to the 451, but I don't like either that much for solo piano. I can post examples of my test recordings.

My 13 year old daughter once again. Piano and room aren't the best but what do you think of the Lavry's with the DPA's?
I spent 18 years on the road as a electronic duo playing clubs using racks of midi gear and sequencers with a guitar. I took jobs away from 5 piece rock bands all the time. I helped build this nightmare.
Yesterday (Friday) I stopped by my neighborhood Guitar Center to shop their selection of nearfield monitors. I listened to KRKs, Yamahas, Mackie, M-Audio and Tannoy. Nothing sounded particularly good and it wasn't until after I left that it dawned on me they were playing everything out of iTunes on a Mac, hence COMPRESSED FILES! What's with that?
I am familiar with forums, and I know that the newbs newb always asks a question to general to be treated seriously. Well, I am a newbs newb when it comes to recording and creating digital music. So I am sorry for the general question I'm about to ask.
Hi. I need to record myself playing a grand piano. The repertoire is classical: chopin, beethoven, rachmaninov, etc.
It will be recorded both at home and also when I play live in a variety of concert halls.
Here a microphone shootout on a grand piano at home:
