Recording Piano Sample

In the figure, we use X/Y stereo technique to capture the Bass and treble by using the AKG414 which aimed at the each side of the piano then focus on the hammer. And then place another X/Y stereo mics to capture the whole piano body sound. The good thing about X/Y stereo technique is that you don't have to worry about the phase issue and it's quite popular for recording a piano as well. Set up another mic for ambient and when we combine them and listening in the control room it sounded very good. Because of the time constraint only had a chance to record four different velocity. The plan was to record the piano lip open and close as well as the pedals noise but it didn't happen. So, the plan now is to learn the scripting so that will give some manipulation and some effects hopefully.
