hi guys, simple enough question. what's your favourite mics and techniques for tracking a grand?

thanks!

Whish would be your preference and why?
THANKS.

mainly want slight compession and limiting to prevent overs!
THANKS in advance for any help.

Is this compressor clean enough, without artifacts for compressor/limiting with grand piano recording?
THANKS.

Any recommendations. Piano is not bright, not dull, in the middle.
Need a clean 2 ch pre. Wouldn't hurt if the pre was good on mandolin as well!

Hey folks,

Hi all.

I will be involved in finding a used grand piano for a really nice newly buildt space in the year to come.
I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions concerning different makes and quality under the $10000 mark?

Any suggestions and sources of info welcome! :w:

Thanks.

In the past I used a pair of AKG 414 EB mics to record piano. Interested in feedback re: other mics that would match up as well other than Neumann U87 ( too expensive )

Also interested in whether noise reduction
is used when mixing down in analog at 30ips
1/2 inch tape.

Hello! I need help
here's my story: I have to record a young solo pianist (classical) to make a portfolio CD, the pieces are some of late Schumann's work, some Chopin etudes and some Scriabine. ( basically romantic but very virtuose with lots of dynamic)
