Hi,

I'm interested in playing around with recording my wife's audition CD's. we have already hired a professional to record her current CD and will be hiring another pro to record a full CD later in the summer.

I would like to get a few pieces of gear (minimal) and start to play around with recording.

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.

i'm looking for a good piano synth, you guys have any suggestions?

Hi,
I'm going to do a recording for a pianist and a solo soprano/mezzo, and I'm looking for some advice on placement and mic setup and such. It's a very nice hall (this) and I have access to nice mics (DPA:s, Neumann, AKG, Royer and more) and pres (milennia & RME Micstasy). Please geek out with advice :)

Hi! I'm a recent college grad, and I've been making amateur home recordings for years, but recently I just upgraded my equipment. Here's what I'm working with: Lexicon Lambda USB interface, MacBook Pro (GarageBand), AKG Perception 120 condenser mic.

Here a microphone shootout on a grand piano at home:

Microphones in 20 cm AB, 1.25 m above the floor, 40 cm from the piano rI'm at the tail end, steered to the pianist. Chopin's nocturne. Fearn VT-2 and Fireface 400, MP3 320 kbit/s. Microphones list :

Can anyone recommend an active monitor with sound characteristics similar to the Sennheiser HD-650s? I like the 650's liquid mids, relaxed highs, and strong but not bloated bass.

I work exclusively with solo classical piano material and my room is 12x16.

Hi everyone,
I have a session booked to record a baby grand piano over an Algerian fusion group which I recorded half live / half overdubbed percussion. The playing style of the pianist will be kind of cuban jazz and I want to know the best way to capture such a genre.
