Micing and recording a grand piano - 11/10/07 09:56 PM
Hi everyone,
I will probably post this on the the "Piano Forum" as well, not knowing which would give me the best response.
I have done a search and did come up with some older info, but would like to hear what you composers do in regards to recording an acoustic grand piano.
My situation is that I have a very "live" room with hardwood floors, throw rugs and vaulted ceilings.
I would like to record my Estonia 190.
Questions:
1.) What are the best microphones to use?
2.) Where should they be placed, particularly since the environment that they are in is quite "live".
FYI: I will be running the mics through a quality pre-amp that is connected to a Mac using Logic 7.
Thank you for any advice and/or suggestions.
