Hi Alan My Friend Peter Clark RPT & recording engineer says it is because of the complexity of the sound waves. Some of the bass waves for example are 27 feet long: Heck, that's longer than an Oscar Meyer Weaner. So when recording a true piano sound it would make sense not to stick the mikes in the piano & shut the lid. Don't cha think? sorry pet peeve Also I recall him saying something like the waves are 3 dimensional or x , y & Z axis or some such. Somebody help me out here I'm over my head.............again Dale and the piano seems to be one of the hardest instruments to faithfully reproduce through recording, if not the hardest. Any thoughts as to why that is? Alan Eder -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
