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

thanks!

Hiya all,

Been reading a lot on this forum but your sage advice would be appreciated on helping me choose a MP of condensers that I can use for 3 purposes - drum OHs in my dead room, my 1928 Grotrian Steinweg Upright Piano in my laminate-wood floored large living room, and acoustic guitar in my dead room.
Some that I have in mind...

How do you you mic an upright piano?
 

Hello Everyone,

I am wondering how some of you have fared recording acoustic (classical) piano with the AEA R84.

I would be grateful to hear your impressions.

I am considering buying a second R84 to record (classical) flute and piano together.

Thank you,

Peace,

How can I get rid of the distortion on the opening bars of this track.
The track has not been eq'ed and I want to,if possible, preserve the existing tone, whilst removing the crackle. The track barely peaks at -6 on the meters, so I dont believe its clipping. I hope I have provided enough info and would greatly appreciate any help wth this.
Thanks in advance

I'd like to know the best way to go about Micing a piano. I'd be doing it live, but this still seemed like the best section to post. It's one of those upright grands schools aways have. What are some good mics/placements for something like this? Thanks.

Recording Cello and Piano/ Cello

I’m looking for some advice on how to record solo cello and cello/ piano duo. We will record in a nice hall and have access to a beautiful collection of Neumann and Schoeps microphones.

Hi folks,

i've been away for a while ... i took a two month vacation and here i am with my new fresh ears ... :lol:

I've seen the discussio n about piano recordings and i happen to have piano recording session tomorrow, so, i'd like to hear your ideas please,

Is this compressor OK for world beat music and clean recordings like piano? I know it can do rock, but what about jazz, etc?
I guess I am asking if it is versatile enough?
THANKS.

Yesterday was the first day of a five day remote recording session. This is a log of that session.

7 am Wake up get some breakfast

8 am Start checking over equipment for the start of the recording session. Check the software and the computer, check the microphones and the headphones, start getting together all the equipment needed for the recording.
