I will be recording a piano next week. It will be Christmas/religious music done on a 7' grand piano. The piano is at a church with brick walls and a concrete floor so the space is quite lively.
I have two C-1000S mics, a 4033 and some 57's/58's to use.
I will be recording on a Roland 880 DAW and probably using a mackie 1604 mostly for the fact it has better pre's and easier to adjust EQ.
Any hints on which mic's to use, placement and eq'ing if any?
The goal of this recording will be for live accompianent (SP) for 3 vocalists and for the piano track for a finished CD.
Does it pay to place a couple of mics under the lid with blankets and another outside to capture some of the room ambience and then mix them down to achieve the desired sound for the type of music I am recording?
Anyway - any ideas any folks have are greatly appreciated.
