From a show back in September. Singer-songwriter Katie Trotta.
Pair of KEL Audio HM-1s on the Steinway, KEL Audio HM-7 for vocals. Tracked through a Mackie 1604 to a Teac 3440 at 15 ips. A touch of compression on the vocals as I recall. Mixed to 24/96 files through a Tascam M-50 and Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 at home.

Shouldn't Be Thinking About You
For my standard setup, I use 12 channels of Millennia's, 2 John Hardy's, a RNP, all going through a RME UFX. My mics are typically Schoeps, but I use Neuman's TLM 103s, Octavias, a bunch of modded mics - espically ribbons with Lundahl transformers and tons of others. For some gigs I use house choir mics through a MOTU Traveller for ease of setup.
I recorded the Atlantis Quartet's live album, "Lines in the Sand" which won 2011 best albums of the year through City Pages.
I find that for musicians that don't have the clarity and precision on their instruments, it is easier to use more forgiving mics like the Octavia's. Schoeps will capture everything, which is good for excellent musicians, but sometimes pick up too much crap from "musicians in progress."
This is my Youtube channel with lots of different gigs.

This is a bit old now and it's mostly covers (we now play a lot more original songs), but the sound was recorded with a lap top and a Presonus Firebox. 2 channels left right from mixer and 2 channels left right from a pair of mics ( Sennheiser ME 80's) above the foh mixers head. I time aligned the 2 stereo tracks and added a bit of eq and compression (a lot actually) and them mixed them together. I think it captured a real live sound. I feel the sound and performance improved as the show went on, which is usual LOL.
Alan.
I've used that technic a lot, Alan.
Are you in the band?
Too cool.
Tomorrow night? Let's see it's Sunday night here tomorrow night for you will be ..... Tuesday?

I actually know as much how this piece was recorded as you can see from the video - I got the stems and mixed the song starting @ 7.33

SWÄRK SESSIONS: Slippery Slope - Careful - YouTube
Although this video is comped from many takes the audio is recorded live at location (it was a small coffe shop,we could not turn off AC and traffic was just on the other side of the wall ) as one take. No mics were allowed to be seen. You can imagine it was a bit of an headache.
I had pair of c414 which I used in XY to capture overall sound, one original CAD E100 pointing at guitar bridge, 421 in front of cajon and Sennheiser boom mic (don't really know which model). You can see the boom's shadow near the singers neck on closeups.
This is a live recording I made of the London Klezmer Quartet at St George's Church, Hobart last week.
All instruments go into the desk via DI, plus there are four open vocal mikes (SM58) (no vox on this track though).
Recorded off the desk (eight direct outs) via Reaper & Firepod.
I was happy with clarinet and accordian, not so much with bass and violin.
