Hi,
this is really for the folks talking to me over in the recording technique forums, but it you have any insight on the perfect way to mic piano, I'm sure having a hard time.
I imagine the levels came out really low. I didn't want to clip the multitrack, which seems to be cliphappy. Edit: I normalized so it would bring it up.
I have various mics, and don't know what to use where, and have on order a stereo pair of some ridiculously inexpensive mics that had great soundclips, so hopefully they'll give me the sound I'm looking for. But for now, everything I've tried sounds similar to me. If you know the magic touch for an old Steinway upright grand, I'd love to hear it!
This particular clip has an NTK in FRONT of the lower strings, fairly close, and a Studio Projects T3 micing the soundboard on back, at the high strings, again, pretty close, as in inches. I know I could have turned it up more. I can't see the meters when I'm playing. Haha.
I've only heard this through the headphones on the multitrack, so I really don't know WHAT it sounds like. I'll try to burn it onto my mp3 player, and listen on my stereo, if I can figure out how to do that. I guess I could burn a disc, duh. Okay I've talked way too much.
So, here it be.
