Upright Piano Recording techniques - by a great engineer with audio samples
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 окт 2022
- GloWorm Studios has a great upright piano that we discovered on a studio tour feature (look up our GloWorm video) so we were keen to ask engineer Iain Hutchison to show us his various methods for getting a great piano sound - we've got a bunch of samples for you to compare the various mic setups so please put on your headphones.
In this video we compare two main piano recording setups; Shure SM57's on the back and Schoeps CMC6 condensers on the front with additional room and effects mics including the Placid Audio Copperphone and the Scope Labs Periscope. When all blended together they give a lovely sound but as can be heard, the setup really is dictated by the tracks requirements - if the track is less dense a fuller piano sound might be more appropriate but on a thick and full sounding track something that cuts through might be more suitable.. Anyway, we hope that these samples show just how different the sounds from one piano can be so hope this inspires some experimentation.
Track details are:

fantastic!
This is awesome
The Best piano sound on YT! Can someone suggest what to use to approximate the great outboard gear you have inside a DAW?
great sound my friend. I have recently purchased 2x TLM 103 to record Solo Piano sessions. Do you have any tips or recommendations for Micing ?
@Record Production hi, I have a Razer Seiren V2 X, do you think that’s a good microphone for recording or should I buy something else?
What are good budget mics to record upright piano?
The pair of Sm57 mics he used on the back are extremely affordable in the grand scheme of studio mics. Very versatile, very easy to get... One of the most popular mics of all time.
