Modern Jazz/Rock Ballad Place the mics in a 45 degree angle, one facing the keyboard and one facing the other end of the piano. The microphones can be from 6" to 3' apart, but if you spread them out you should decrease the angle. The mics should be about halfway between the strings and the lid (the lid should be all the way up), 6-12 inches inside the harp.

just curious if anyone knows what drum Micing techniques were used by any of todays albums available in stores/heard on the radio. it seems to be the consensus with everyone i know personally(which isn't saying a whole lot where i'm at), to mic every top skin with a dynamic, a condensor over the hi hat, and a stereo pair of condensers over the cymbols. and i know about placement and all that.

Hi guys,

first thanks a lot for the sharing of your passions.

i'll probably work on recording a "only vocals" project.
i'm wondering how to achieve a good take of the guy making drums and bass with his mouth .

this blows a lot of air and plosives onto the diaphragm,so 'I'm thinking about a dynamic.(sm7,d112,m88).

Hi again,

I recently heard about this '3 Mics Technique for Drums' invented by Glynn/Andy John, however, I couldn't find a visual representation of the setup. I was wondering if anyone can give me a clearer explanation of how to achieve this technique?

And if anyone would like to share their own/favorite 3 mic technique, that would be awsome, too!

What is the technique called when a piano is given that very percussive sound? Are the felt covered hammers actually exchanged with hammers without felt that are all wood for example? Are they simply covered with something hard? OR, is it an actual particular type of piano? If so, can it be done with a standard upright/grand? Any input would be great.

Take care everyone.

If I am recording using a spaced pair Micing setup and I want light compression on both mics, would the serious studio engineer use two seperate compressors as inserts on two seperate channels on the mixing desk or are there compressors out there capable of dealing with two inputs and which have two outputs?

Check out the kick drums.

Do you think they have the other ends propped up with a chair?
Would this just cut down on bleed or does this actually affect the tone?

In an earlier post by Kgretlein, you offered some suggestions. I'm interested in trying this technique out front of a drum kit (recording session).

My question is; you mentioned multing the figure 8 mic so that you now have two channels of the figure 8 mic-a panned left & right signal. You mentioned changing the polarity of one of those signals.

I've been doing sound for many years now, most of my knowledge is from experience. Advanced, hands on training classes for working audio professionals (1 - 3 day intensive, topic driven) would be very intresting to me, and I'm sure others as well. However I don't want or need to spend a year at Full Sail or SAE. Anything like that out there?
Thanks for any responses.
