Using a good grand piano recording engineer Owain Fleetwood Jenkins shows his approach - getting a beautiful piano sound using a stereo ribbon microphone and a pair of AKG 414 mics.
00:00 Piano Recording Overview
03:11 Piano Sample
04:22 End Out-take
Getting a great piano sound firstly requires a really good pianist and thankfully we had a great player - Dan Moore who we recorded so that you can hear this mic setup. The piano and the space that it's in makes a large contribution and the lovely acoustic space at StudiOwz offers a wonderful range of sounds - here we went for a more atmospheric sound and took advantage of the lovely Hum Audio active stereo ribbon microphone.
Before recording the piano, Dan put down a bit of a synth backing so everything you hear was created specially for this video with the stereo mix being synced up with the picture. In a later video we will again be at StudiOwz recording upright piano and a range of other excellent keyboards so please look out for those and please check out Owain's studio tour around this magnificent recording studio.
