The few times I have mic'ed up a Stienway 9 foot grand successfully we used a spaced pair of u87's about 1.5 feet above the strings on either side. Nothing fancy. That gave me a nice close sound without too much room (we were in a very large room). This worked well for the pop mix we were...

PM me if you want a .Wav of the track to work over.

Just using a a 002r and a few pieces of outboard gear. Guitars were from a Fender Super-Sonic amp. Drums are a vintage slingerland kit. If you want more detail just let me know!

If anyone is interested in recording vocals, just go for it! I would pick the best performance, and give you credits!

That's an awesome preamp. IMO one of the best out there.

I have a track I have been sitting on for a long time. I can't seem to be able to figure out what to write for vocals. If someone wanted to write for this, as well as record that would be awesome! Looking for a typical pop rock singer, someone in the high tenor range. Let me know! Stop Go...

So I gave the final copy of this mix to the artist (Kevin Jones) today, we changed a few things. If anyone is interested in hearing the updated mix and slight changes here is the link. The changes should be fairly obvious. http://soundcloud.com/joe-music-1/your-grace-final-mix

I was not the person singing on the recording, I did however play a majority of the instruments.

Guitars are done on Eleven rack! Love that thing, I used to be die hard about using amps, but now I basically don't care either way. Thanks for the comments, does anyone have any criticism? I am giving this mix tomorrow and need any last minute critiques I can get. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Yes I am Joe. Why'd ya ask.

I can see how you might be unsure about your voice. That is why I love it. It actually has character! That song is awesome! It's the kind of voice that would get old to me. Reminds me of the stuff coming out of sub pop records recently.
