That SMART guy.
This is a piano piece by grieg that I recorded last sunday. It's played by a friend (beautifull young girl named charlotte
) on my piano.
It's miced from above with the lid open, using one C3000b to a symmetrix 528e to my VS1880... The mic was about 0.5 meters in front of the piano, 1 meter above it; aimed towards the strings.
Levels were set pretty ok on VS and symmetrix, and still it distorted. Could this have been the mic??
And the recording is pretty dry also. I was thinking; if I bought 2 ECM8000's to mic the piano close, and used the C3000b as a room mic, would it achieve better results? Or mayhbe just use the ECM8000's a little further from the piano?
Any ideas welcome... And enjoy the piece. I really like her playing, but I'm prejudiced...

oh, and the link is now fixed... You can get it here!
