| Let me give you my mic selection (nothing good) 2 ADK sc-t's http://www.adkmic.com/specs/SC.html 1 ADK 51s http://www.adkmic.com/specs/A-51s.html 1 AKG perception 100 I have a no coloration preamp with 2 inputs, and a tube preamp with 2 inputs. I also have another preamp taht is no coloration with 1 working input. I am recording a 9' steinway in a brick cathdral with high ceilings. I usually just do a ORTF with the 2 SC-T mics. This time I am looking to maybe add the 51s in the center of the ortf to maybe pick up more attack from the piano. Do you think I should have the center mic farter away from the ortf to pick up more room acoustics? I don't really plan on using the AKG mic, Let me know what you think, or suggest a mic set up. Do you think I should use the tube preamp at all, if so with which mics? Here is a sketch of what I was thinking, black to normal preamp, blue to tube preamp. |

| Add an omni in the middle to add low end and fill out the image. It doesn't have to be an expensive one. Just add a little in the mix (-10 db below the mains). However I will say that I prefer omnis when recording a piano of this size. Best, Don

| Ya, I found that out quick, luckily the preamp has a seperate drive setting so i could turn off most of the tube action. Here is a sample recording www.apianist.com/newnewmics.mp3 any ideas how to improve on it? Piano seems pretty out of tune. Edit: was just a sample from her practicing, and now that I listen to it again the piano is pretty out of tune. |
