[pianotech] mp3 recordings - How

[Greg Newell]

Michael,

            I don't doubt you`re receiving a good recording from your set up
but it doesn't seem very logical to me. Those mics on the bar going across
look as if they would focus on the notes that they're stationed right above
and cause them to stand out quite readily. How do you prevent that?

Detailed information about the Earthworks PianoMic system can be found along
with recorded comparisons on the Earthworks site.  I suggest listening with
the best headphones you can get your hands on:

We've used the PM40 for about 3 years for both recording and live
performances.  Attached are a few photos from a recent session done on a
Model 220 where we used the PM40 with a set of Neumann M149s. This was about
as close to sounding like an accurate representation of the piano's sound
that I've heard.  Unfortunately, I don't have the audio files from this
session (yet).   The quality of the PM40 is comparable to the Neumann's and
although the 3k price tag may seem a little steep, it's still about 1/4 the
cost of the Neumann's. 
 
Here's a recording using just the Earthworks PM40.

I believe this is a unit I viewed on The Ravescroft that Michael Spreeman
uses. Michael?
Comments on its uses in recording?
