thanks for the tip---I'll contact Marik---

what type of acoustic treatment? It's a living room 13 x 20 x 8.5H--furnished, part carpet (under piano) and part w\hardwood floor, past piano in connecting kitcen----I can sell the recentl purchased barely used mics I have if I need to, to fund another pair of mics---

Thanks for all the ideas. I think I'll be having an audio engineer add reverb and hall reflections later so I'm thinking maybe I should go with a small diaphram cardioid mic to get a clean accurate recording, and have it juiced up later. Pariticularly since I have to distance mic in a crappy...

Thanks for the great info! So in light of you saying I'd be better off having the reverb and hall reflections added later, which I am now taking your word on and will go with, do you think I'd be better off with the MK012, or 103? Your mics are still strong contenders for me due to rave reviews...

Hello there---Sorry for the misquote. I wanted to e-mail you back to clarify what you meant by "roomy" but felt sort funny about taking up more of your time. What does it mean it, practically, that "the room will put a small box sound around my piano if the early reflections are not attenuated."...

Thanks I'll look into it.

Yeah, thanks, I heard a recording with the Beyers and they sound great and I've read about them. I'm considering them. Whatever mic I settle on, I'll have to sell off the one's I won't use. I see what you mean about the results not quite working out with the larger diaphrams. The treble does...

That's not too bad---I'll try it.

Well I have a pair of pulsars which I just recently found out are 3/4" diaphram. In ORTF they sound great---I'm after a 'lush" sort of sound. So I am experimenting with them, and Rode NT1A's. Thought I'd try a LDC to hear the difference. The sound is even fuller although a little too much so and...

Well the room is furnished. The piano is on wall to wall carpet and past the piano, the kitchen--(living room /kitchen combo) the floors are wood. I don't feel there is a lot of wall reflection, however I'm no expert. I do feel that a lot of the sound is absorbed--is that a good thing? I...

for under a $1000 for recording acoustic concert grand piano in room with not so great acoustisc (13 x 20 x 8.5 )

Yeah I know it's tough. Can't get as close as I would like due to the damper noise. Will talk to my Steinway tech guy to see how much noise can be reduced. Otherwise have to just find the best sound from 5-7 feet away. Do omnis tend to make more self-noise the further you pull them form the...

Any opinion on these two for recording classical piano solos on Steinway B in living room space 13 W x 20 L x 8.5 H.

Thanks for the suggestions, the STO2's sounds interesting Not sure how natural I want the sound at this point. For instance my NT1A's produce a little fuzzier tone that sounds rich, smooths out the sound, hides defects, you know, makes the piano registers blend more. However if you go to far...

So you use tge 3035's to recprd acoustic piano--in what type of environment and what type of music?

Yeah, thanks. I've seen the 3035's online for $115. I'm going to experoment with my NT!A's a little more. Really have to wait a few weeks as I'm getting a recorder with MUCH better preamps. I think only then I'll be able to asess things. I think I'm leaning towards medium size diaphram at this...

Yeah not having money sucks.

My microtrack broke already--waiting for m-audio reply to my incident report--I hate cheap crap-- Yeah I've learned through reading that as far as preamps go you get what you pay for. I think the Tascam HD P2 with the rebuilt preamps will do me fine in lieu of not being able to afford an SD...

Yeah I've read a lot of good reviews of the MR-1000. Don't know anyone who I would want to have play the piano, but I enjoy doing the work myself. I haven't used anything but the microtrack, so nothing to compare. I just have read about the problems with it and I know, like everything else. you...

right, no switches on the NT1A's. But the Pulsars have them. Which switch are you referring to? You seem to use those A 3035's a lot. What do you like about them? I see that they've been discontinued. Are the 3035's now called 2035's?
