Here's another one, this time solo piano. The file can be found here.

I used a pair of Neumann KM-183, 8" apart, 7' high, and the stand was 2' from the point where the body starts to curve. The piano was on full stick.

Hey guys.

A couple days ago, I made my first serious attempt at recording a live classical concert. The file, a very high quality 40 second mp3, can be found here.

Ok, here's one for the class to ponder and give their esteemed advice. (I think I know what I'm going to do already after attending their rehearsal last night, but I'm curious how others would approach this.)

Here's the situation that just landed in my lap, as of 2 days ago:

Ben, Cucco, et al...

Recently had the privilege of recording on site a string quartet comprised of the primaries from the Midland Symphony plus a few guests...Each of the two pieces lasted 30-35 minutes, with wildy varying movements within the pieces.

I'm looking for recommendations for a small hi-quality mixer for doing location work, and hoped to tap the vast experience of the group 8) I want something that isn't going to color my source feeds or add noise of any discernable level.

Hi guys, I posted this question in another forum and was directed here. I'm considering getting another pre to add to the rack. I mostly do pop, rock, hard rock, jazz, country etc but I do have a project of classical music coming up. I know the API 3124+ and UA pre's would be great for the rock stuff but how about classical? I have the MP2NV which sounds great but I need more channels.

I need to make a CD by the end of the year, mostly classical recordings.

My sound card is sh*t, my $20 labtec mic just broke, and all I have is a MZ-R90 Sony MiniDisc player.

I have about $300 to spend.

My first post to any forum ever. .

Hi everyone

I'm just wondering if people here use the 'standard' classical mics for rock music.

The mics I mean are by Schoeps, DPA/B&K, Sennheiser MKH series.

Just wondering...

Hello Everyone,

I am looking to buy a decent mic to record classical flute. My budget is bellow $1,000 dollars.

I am looking for a mic that doesn't highlight the top end, and is warm and full bodied in the mid-low range.

I have been looking into the AT4060 or RODE K2.

Any suggestions are welcome,

Thank you in advance,
