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.

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.

Hi. I need to record myself playing a grand piano. The repertoire is classical: chopin, beethoven, rachmaninov, etc.

It will be recorded both at home and also when I play live in a variety of concert halls.

Hi! I'm a recent college grad, and I've been making amateur home recordings for years, but recently I just upgraded my equipment. Here's what I'm working with: Lexicon Lambda USB interface, MacBook Pro (GarageBand), AKG Perception 120 condenser mic.

Hi everyone,
I have a session booked to record a baby grand piano over an Algerian fusion group which I recorded half live / half overdubbed percussion. The playing style of the pianist will be kind of cuban jazz and I want to know the best way to capture such a genre.

I'm a piano teacher and composer and am exploring the options of investing in some technology to record both my own compositions and my piano lessons.

I've got my eye on a super bit of mixing kit but am completely stumped as to the best way of setting up mics so that they pick up both the piano and myself and the student's voices. I don't even know which mics would be the best.

Hi guys,
my question is about one of the most demanding acoustic instrument for the recording engineer: classical grand piano.
I'm a pianist and I wanted to record my live recitals, so I began with RODE NT4, then Neumann KM183s and finally Schoeps CMC5 with MK21 stereo matched (I choose MK21 over MK2 because of non stellar acoustic venues where I play).
