Looks like I'm on a covering spree :)
Nodame Cantabile is one of my absolute favorite animes, and I think that any music lover should give it a shot! It's comedy gold, there's lots of drama, and of course the music is great ^_^ I highly recommend it to everyone, even if you don't like classical (cause you might just be able to appreciate it afterwards :P)
I tried a completely different recording setup this time, hooking the piano up to the stereo system, and recording with my Behringer mic, rather than the camera. It's a much improved sound for the most part, though next time I might try the bass attenuation switch XD
I'm still pretty nervous and spastic when recording piano, and as such my rubato sounds a bit more forced than usual, and there's not as much variation in dynamics as I'd like :( Definitely working on that though, so hopefully the next piano piece I plan on playing will sound better (oh, and it's one beastly piece XD)
At any rate, hope you enjoy!

![[Angel Beats] - Brave Song (clarinet cover)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6ZK6W87noJw/mqdefault.jpg "[Angel Beats] - Brave Song (clarinet cover)
After getting the sudden urge to watch Angel Beats dubbed over the past few days, I figured it would be fitting to cover this very nice song. Its a good show (but easily couldve been better, given its Jun Maeda), and I highly recommend it to all who have yet to see it.
In this video I decided to try out an old microphone that I found, and boy is the sound an improvement over my cameras mic! This is how a clarinet is supposed to sound like gone is the super harsh and grainy sound from before. But on the downside, its sensitive enough to pick up whats playing from my headphones. I also tried recording closer to my clarinet to reduce reverb, and unfortunately thats how those unnatural crescendos and clips happened (me swinging my horn too close to the thing) ^ ^;
If you look closely you might notice slight differences between the video and audio thats cause these were done on two separate takes. In the first take (the video), I managed to screw up my microphone settings so the sound was utter garbage, and on the second take, my camera ran out of memory half-way through OTL. I was a bit annoyed, to say the least, and so I just took the visual from the first one and synched it to the sound XD.
No sheets this time, but you should be able to do it by ear. Its in an easy key for the most part and its quite slow. Well, enjoy, and look forwards to some more Angel Beats covers =)")
