Hi,

I need to record a few classic piano students for a radio contest.
I do not have any experience in recorging grand-pianos.
Any sujestions on microphone placing will be appreciated
very much (I'll use a pare of Shure KSM27). Thanks,

Costy.

Whish would be your preference and why?
THANKS.

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

can anyone give me some good advices how to do a good mastering ona simple piano and vocal song.thanks.

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

hello, i am a new one in recording...i play piano and sing..can anyone give me some advices how to record just a piano track and how to mix that it sounds good. (mic positions, pan, effects, reverb, ).

What are the best Gefell mics for recording grand piano?
M930s? 295s? 296s?
Or any other suggestions.
Room is semi-live with vaulted ceiling. Not too big. Piano is about 7 foot 7" with not too dark, not too bright sound (between Steinway and Kawai).
THANKS!
P.S. Assume clean mic preamps.

I record a piano with one sm57 mic and it come out horrable with poping and cracking. what can I use to get rid of this or just make it sound betten, also what are some good dynimac levels and eq for the violin and a piano? also whats a go in the box eq?

-thanks

So,
still reeling from the experience a month later. I'll try to post a few bits here and there of my experience, hopefully for your amusement. As I have thought about doing this for a while, I guess I'll just start here and see how much I can manage to make into the first posting.

So here it is.

I'm interested in learning some piano Micing techniques that will minimize damper noise.

thanks,
Benny
