🎙️ 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗥-𝟭𝟮𝟭
Back inside with and recording a grand piano using a pair of 𝗥-𝟭𝟮𝟭 𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀.
The goal: capture a 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆, 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺 & 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 piano tone directly at the source.
Ribbon microphones like the R-121 help soften transients while adding 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵, 𝗹𝗼𝘄-𝗺𝗶𝗱 𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 and 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 piano texture 🎹
No overprocessing. Just microphone 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲, 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 and 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺 shaping the sound.
