This week I get to do a piano recording for an artist I have worked with before. She is a very gifted pianist and the sessions go rather well. I am planning to use a Decca Tree with three Audio-Technica 4050's in bidirectional mode. I have used this setup with this performer before and had excellent results.

does anybody how to get some of the notes on your piano parts to "jump out" of the mix? here is an example of I'm talking about...

Hi,

anybody got some good tips on eq for a diguital piano in a live and in a recording situation? The pisno is actually coming from a sampler and is quite a nice sound. I've been told to roll off below about 120 hz and add a little boost around 10khz. However I'm not sure if this is a general setting and I'm not sure of the levels of gain and attenuation as well as the q shape.

I have a 1968 Sohner upright piano in pretty good shape. I am doing some recording with it and I have to mic the piano, something I have never done before. I have two MXL MXLV63M mics and one Shure SM58, recording into PT with the Digi002.

Hello, I am new here and wanted some good advice for a MIcrophone to hook up my upright Piano. I am in a recording school right now but won't be in the good classes for atleast a few more months. I want so start laying down tracks NOW! So I know I probably want a condensor Mic. A good one that will get a good full recording. My budget for a Mic is around $400.

I just finished recording the best pianist I have had the pleasure of working with. He's a doctoral candidate and this recording should seal the deal. I really went all out on this one and I think i've discovered the secret to this piano's sound.

HI! I BOUGHT THE BOSENDORFER IMPERIAL 290 PLUGIN, BUT MY COMPUTER IS NOT WORKING FINE. LATENCY PROBLEMS AND CLICKS. IS THERE A SETUP I M MISSING? WHERE DO I PUT THE SAMPLES? AND THE PROGRAM? ANY SUGGESTION? I USE AN ACUSTIC PIANO WITH THIS OTICAL SYSTEM. MIDI CONFIGURATION?

Here's my latest recording for your listening pleasure. :D

Piano Trio #2 in e minor, Op. 67 by Dmitri Shostakovich

Here's the setup:

Main Pair:
Schoeps CMC6/MK4 (2) in near coincident, 25 cm, 70 degrees
11' high, 14' liear to piano
violin anc cello 4' in front of piano

blank

how do you think it will sound?
they should have done it with samples.
