Well... I could really use some feedback on this. I just test-recorded a piano (Steinway Grand 1990). In a few days I need to do a whole CD (piano & cello). Mainly Schubert.

This was my setup:
KM184 in ORTF - 25cm above the strings (detail)
(Left 30) Low strings 0dB
(Right 30) Treble strings -2dB

Hi.

I see a lot of drum MIDI loops collections, like this:

And of course there are lots of audio (AIFF/WAV) loops CDs.

But are there any any piano / organ / clavinet MIDI loop collections out on the market?

here is a good video introduction on recording a grand piano

Hello everyone, I have a Yamaha clavinova CLP- 230 piano which I use to pre-record music to play at shows for my wind ensemble. I have been using basic audio cables the ones with the red and white input and plugging them straight to mixcraft on my computer however when I start to play forte the sound becomes distorted.

I am an AV tech with a dillema. I am tired of using my company's cheapo mics to mic pianos when they come through. I was wondering what would be a good general purpose microphone that is pretty good sounding on pianos for under $100. any suggestions? I would be buying this, not the company so 100 is all I can justify spending for something that really won't monetarily benefit me.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to mic a steinway upright piano and make it sound full and not too muddy?
Right now all my recordings sound either tacky or very unbalanced or both.

Just came across this vst http://www.genuinesoundware.com/?a=showproduct&b=40 great electric piano emulation, this is physical modelling and coded in c+ . Never had the chance to try a real wurlitzer but have played a rhodes and this thing stacks up really well 8-)

Hey. I was wondering if anyone has any good ideas as to how to mic an upright piano and get a decent sound. I have a steinway upright that I can't manage to get a nice sound out of.
Any Ideas will be appreciate.
