I'd say definitely the Aardv..... um, never mind. Been fkn out of business for five or six years, that's all.

There will always be a market for the real thing instead of a very good approximation of the real thing. As long as there is a market, analog decks will continue to be built. When sampled signals are high quality enough that their differences from an analog signals lie outside the range of human...

4 year old thread, guys...:cool:

Another vote for the RNP. I have also had an M-Audio DMP3 for years and it rocks. Perhaps the best bang for the buck out there. Still, the RNP may be a better preamp. Hard to go wrong with either. The DMP3 does not have XLR outs, though - only 1/4" balanced. So if you've got this in an XLR...

WOW. Just saw him in concert in Burlington. What an amazing performance!

Don't forget tung oil! Coat your fingerboard really thick with tung oil and your strings will behave like never before!

You may be onto something - while thick glass may be better, you have a budget and the major studios built as if they did not. Try it and see what happens. One thing to be sure of, though, is to avoid parallel windows. The plane of the studio A window must not be parallel with the plane of the...

With this guitar, try a very heavy, relatively soft flat pick, like a Fender Heavy. I have a Taylor 815C and the heavy pick makes a huge difference - no pick sound and it pulls out the killer midrange.

Absolutely! Whatever you do, don't delete this thing! It's wonderful if you want to get a glimpse into ... I don't know, hell or something. And Harvey still managed not to lose his cool. :D

Well I'm glad we got that settled. Amazing. This thread should be a sticky. On the bottom of my shoe.:D

If you have only one mic to work with, try for a cardioid large diaphragm condenser right at the tail of the piano, just over the rim, with the top set at low or mid height. You'll be surprised at how much you capture with a single mic there - no hammer noise, no out of control live feedback issues.

I had this whole thing figured out in my studio. Now my goddamn computer won't boot and I have to start all over again with the wire recorder. And I thought I was finally done with it.

BE CAREFUL! THAT SHOE IS LOADED! Looks kinda industrial too.

Here's an old 880 tracksheet that will illustrate the idea for you.

LOL! "Its just numbers - mine is a few off is all...":D

Another thing that works pretty well with light tripod mic stands is a five or ten pound barbell weight. They're about six bucks (and up) and just slip over the upright.

Holy cow. I can't wait to read this article!

I'd steer clear of that stuff and just keep the strings clean; put a little rubbing alcohol on a cloth and run it under the strings as well as over the top. Finger ease is a silicone based spray. It doesn't hurt anything to use it, but there is a really nasty side effect that will pop up if...

Me band's been picked up for a State tourism thingie. :)
