recording piano???

Unread post by davekllawre210 » Thu Jun 30, 2005 2:27 pm

I was messing around on the piano the other day...i've been playing for a while and am pretty good. I tried playing the chord progression on Lie in our Graves in the left hand w/ the chicago tim reynolds solo in the right hand. It sounded pretty sweet. Anyone have a clue how to record that easily?

If it's an actual piano, put the mic about 12-18" over the middle c strings. i guess, well, over the middle c wire, whatever you want to call it

Uh, you'd have to mic it.

Search google. You may find results there.

They make piano mics that are long and flat and rest over the strings. Probably way too expensive for your needs though.

if it's a wall piano, just open the top and place your mic so it's inside the enclosure. it wont be great, but it'll do what you need it to. i did it with a labtec computer mic and it worked fine.
