Yeah I learned a lot from this thread. I was going go out and spend a few hundred on a mic and AI, thinking that's all I would need to achieve good results, but now I won't because I know that video is "fake" and you can't achieve that sound with a C1 mic and a low-end AI.

Most people in the general population fall for it because 95% of the population doesn't know about pro audio recording like people on this forum do. They don't know that placing a single $50 mic over the bass note w/ the piano lid closed could never produce a rich, clear sound. If you read the...

Pianotec is $140, and a low-end midi keyboard controller is $200. What sound quality could you get from $340 worth of microphones, AI, cables, boom stand, etc? I'm not being sarcastic, I want to know the answer. I suspect the VST would sound better for the price I know that a $200 88-key...

I have the Samson Meteor USB. I heard many reviews of mics in the $75 range and there wasn't significant difference among them so I chose this, but I guess it's not very good for piano recording. I'm going to get an ATR2020 or AKG 220... that's the most I plan to spend for a mic. For a mixer...

So you don't think the piano sound quality is a function of editing tricks or such? I'm still pretty shocked that this setup can sound so professional. And it doesn't appear as if his room acoustics are that great. He has blinds over the windows and the piano is right up against the wall...

Hi, I'm new to studio recording. I want to record my 6' grand piano in my living room (just for fun), so I bought a $60 Samson mic, a boom, and recorded w/ Audacity. Even after experimenting with 25 different mic positions, the recording wasn't very good. I ran across some random video on YT...
