piano

well...we tracked some real piano tracks! it was sure a lot of fun. My mother owns a very nice piano and it sits in a room with extremely high ceilings. Her piano sounds great and Daren loves it. So all we had to do was ask. I asked her if we would be able to use her piano and when would we be able to kick everyone out of the house to have it quiet. Well my parents were out of town this past weekend and so bewteen the 2 of us, Daren and I set up a nice recording rig and went to work. We tracked multiple songs and parts for songs that already had pianos done using keyboards. The sound we got was very classic. We used 2 ribbon microphones inside the piano and 2 akg 414s placed in the room.

It was a successful weekend that ended earlier than we had hoped. But we got the main stuff done and it sounds great.
