Learn what microphones to use, where to put them and where to put them in the mix! In this video I am using the CAD Audio Trion 8000 and the CAD Audio E70 microphones.

  • Lewin, Did you try applying some equalization to each of the mics to see how it sounds. i.e. Cutting down some of the low frequencies from the little mic, and cutting down the highs from the Cad mic? It would be interesting to hear how much "stereo" separation you would get, or how it sounds in general. Also, to other youtube's, please download this vid in HD to get the best example of the sound quality Lewin is giving us. Thanks!

  • @loopie007 I have, you can hear it in the video "Tom Doesn't" on the sunshine superman channel. SunshineSupermanPA

  • @GaragebandandBeyond I didnt get a chance to enter your giveaway contest! Will there be more in the future? I want to make a videosong!

  • @sambwood you still have plenty of time! But this is one of the better things I'll be giving away.

  • a piano is both, percussion and string. but its "proper" term is a "keyboard" instrument. 

  • @ttumoeg Yes, but it is considered a percussion instrument, which is the point I was trying to make when talking about the "hammer sound" being an important sound.

  • How would be the recording quality without opening the case??

    My upright does not open so easy.

  • Amazing sound. Well done

  • @SunshineSupermanPA okay, thank you!

  • @FaebuBucher You'll have to experiment, but yes, starting in the middle is a good idea!

  • Where should I place the mic if I only got one mic to record with? In the middle?

    Thank you for your useful vids =)
