Hello all!
First time poster so please bear with me. This weekend, I'm going to be recording my fiance perform a few new compositions by an Italian composer for a grand piano (unsure of if it'll be a Steinway or Fazioli at this stage).
She's borrowed some equipment for her college's studios. From what I understand, it's one dynamic and a small diaphragm condensor, into a tascam. Will also be recording video as well.
I'm very new to the recording game, I usually just play music. My understanding is dynamic mic on the bass end and condensor at the treble end of the piano? Any tips on positioning of the mics would be much appreciated.
Aiming for sample rate of 24 bit/44.1 khz. Buffer size 256/512? The room will be medium sized room, wooden floors, high ceilings.
All those values seem about right?
Any thing I need to be mindful of during the recording? We want to make it as high quality as we can (within the limits of our equipment) as there aren't any recordings online or on youtube for these new pieces. Hoping for them to be a good reference for future people wanting to perform them.
THANKS GUYS.
Ben
