Sorry if this doesn’t make sense! Could you just tell me why you say 1 mic should suffice? It seems like if it’s a directional mic, you’d lose a lot of sound in either direction. I guess I’d be afraid of getting mainly just the mid tones and not the high or low ones (if for example I placed it towards the center of the strings). I have a console piano, and even though I need to experiment where to best place the mics, I just always assumed I needed 2 since the strings span such a large area.
It sounds like in this post, you’re not debating how many mics (you obviously used 2) but whether or not to convert them to mono in the mix? Sorry if the lingo’s off! My question is more to your first point of how many mics to record with. Low fundamentals are the blacks on the left while the black surrounded by reds represents Air. The blue color represents the fundamental frequencies of each specific instrument while the reds signify their harmonics. I’ve read a few of your other posts where you’ve questioned the necessity of using 2 mics to record piano (and some other instruments). As you can see in the chart below all the instruments have a specific place in the frequency spectrum. I have a question about miking piano (since that’s my main instrument). I’ve been a little bogged down with all the options, and your site was exactly what I needed. â « ã Build-in Hi-Fi Pickupã 17 key kalimba with built-in pickup and 6.

That will allow you to pump things up as well.Īfter that you can talk about reverb, which this mix uses a fair bit of.I’m new to your site, and recording. To keep everything stable and in place you will want to comp everything separately down fairly strong so things don't 'poke out'. You can roll off the bass on the low range too. Keep the highs rolled off so it's not messing with the piano. Get that balance right then bring in bass. You may have to carve a little out of the mids to make room for the vox. You can roll a lot of low end off the piano, keep it out of the way of where the bass will sit. Turn off any FX or buss sends to FX on all tracks. Give this a try and see if it helps you clean it up: Just to get the frequency placement stuff out of the way it's worth making sure your stuff isn't stepping on other stuff. Often it's more complicated than just levels.
'loud' is very relative when talking about a mix. The original is probably an upright piano, very different character than a grand.
