Hi guys,

This is a recording I recently did for a friend's grad school pre-screening CD. It was recorded with 2 CAD e70's in a stereo xy configuration.

I've been asked by a friend to record him for a college audition. He plays the upright bass, but also needs me to record piano and acoustic guitar.

My question is what microphone would be best for these instruments?

I have a Shure SM57...would that be sufficient? If yes, for which instrument or all of the instruments? If not, what mic would be best?

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if anything is different with a DAW and long runs to mics in another room where the piano is. I need to run about 40 or more feet to Royer R-122 v's, all into my FF800 and soon to be Sequoia 11.

Any suggestions on how to get the best signal into my DAW would be so helpful.

Hi there! Here's my deal:

I have a Yamaha P-155 digital piano, and I'd like to record it onto my Macbook Pro, through the use of my Lexicon Lambda USB interface. But I don't want to use MIDI - I want to record the actual sounds from the keyboard. The keyboard has an "aux out" on the back, with R and L/L+R jacks, as well as MIDI terminals and a USB to device connection.

Hey guys i got another ?

so i am recording a keyboard on a my multi-track recorder.
would you guys recommend i mic the keyboard coming from an amp
or directly input it into the recorder?
i am using a Shuresm57 for the Micing and a boss br-8 as the recorder

I am planning to make the grand piano in my living room more mobile to make recording easier. I'd probably be moving it back and forth 10 ft or so over a hardwood floor about, say, a dozen times a year. My tuner/tech will provide and install.

Well this was a sudden decision. A guy who I am recording has a new song he wants to do on my piano. I've never seriously recorded the Steinway in the living room, so this will be an adventure. (Running cables from the basement studio should be fun.) It's a ballad. Slow chords. Not much activity.

As the subjects says. has anyone got some good suggestions as to what works well as a realistic sounding piano synth.

I dont have the funds or space to buy the real thing and really really want one.

Cheers!

Can anyone tell me a good free piano vst, or would it be wiser to just go ahead and invest in a good one?

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.
