Hopefully this is the right place to put this,
Newbie here. I searched around quite a bit, but I honestly have not found any situations close to mine. I am part of a quartet who does some pretty hard core rock cello, like Apocalyptica and Break of Reality. We are looking to record some songs with the following equipment:
2x AKG 414
2x RODE NT-5
2x AT4040

Hi!

I'm completely new to the audio recording and I am asking for some advice.
I'm planning to record classical piano with cello (Schubert Arpeggione Sonata).
I have tree mics: RODE NT55 matched pair and Audio-Technica AT2050.
Everything goes to my laptop via Fast Track Ultra.

I'm looking for an opinion on the sound of these cello clips. I'm recording in a week and wondering if the room will work for the sessions. Would love any opinions/comments on the following clips. Recorded with stereo Microtech Gefell 950's in a X/Y setting plugged into a Zoom flash recorded. Mics were about 4' off the ground.

Hi,

Hello, I need some advice on mixing cello and piano duo. I am using sampled technology, but the problem is that I can't find any settings for cello or piano positioning, mixing etc. How loud to be the piano, which position to be simulated for it, the same goes for the cello.

Ive been looking in previous forums but I can only find people talking about recording cello with a quartet. I want to know what A good way to record solo cello. The cellist will be playing along to acoustic folkish type tracks. We might be able to get access to a music practice room at the University in my town, but if not we are going to be in a house. Any Ideas or techniques?

Hey guys!

Today I attended a dress rehearsal for a cello and piano concert that will take place this Friday. I did some basic recon, and played with positions a bit. Here's a couple little smippets of what I came away with:

I am going to record some kids that play very well this weekend. The instruments are cello, violin and acoustic guitar. This is a recording for the grandfather so it is purely for memories. My question is what mics should I use? Very limited mike selection. SM57, Studio project C-1. B1, and some other dynamic mics (AKG). I also have an Audix drum pak with 5 mics.

First I apologize for having two demanding threads going at the same time (http://www.recordin…"]this[/]="http://www.recordin…"]this[/] is the other one), but some poor fool has hired me to do a CD of a three piece CD of cello music.

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has any hints or tips for recording cello? I have a good hard disk recorder and a nice Red5 tube condenser microphone to use, so the equipment should be ok. My cello player will be recording whilst listening to guitar and a vocal tracks which are ready and finished.
