Yeah, the prominent pick noise is mainly because its a tortoise shell pick and not a plastic one. Its not raining and its just in the lounge room of my little apartment, not near the window.

Quality gear doesn't really exhibit this problem. Both Schoeps and Neumann have modified their mic circuits to all but eliminate it. Cheap unshielded recorders are another problem.

Because the Zoom ...

Jeremy, wonderful rich orchestral sound, but I found the piano mic a bit too prominent or too close. What an excellent hall by the sound of things. Nice one.

Just bought a pair of M150's and recorded my old D35. These mics are stunning, quite superior to all I have heard before. Looking forward to doing my next piano CD with them, but in the meantime, here ...

Sorry, I am in a nitpicking mood.

Also, a lot of people will tell you that you need to have the ensemble inside the 90 degree pattern of the mics. I vehemently disagree.

Any sources outside the ...

I should add that there are no books, to my knowledge, with restricted subject matter on classical recording techniques, the market size would be miniscule. The references above are written by classic ...

Johannes,

This is a subject very dear to my heart. For the last 15 years I have been wrestling with this seemingly intractable problem.

I have had to make many mic slings myself from carbon fibr ...

Not to my knowledge, all MP3 is very ugly. Here's a quote from Warren Ross (hope he doesn't mind me quoting him) on Glenn Meadows mastering board. It shows the lengths some will go to, to improve the ...

Simmo, the encoder in Wavelab is LAME.

Thomas, shotguns are very useful in these situations. The Neumann in particular, sound great for classical music. Because they are commonly used in the TV industry they should be easy to hire. Its rem ...

Here is a sample of the same section with only the Schopes MK21 main pair.....no MS, no Altiverb!! Maybe together we can work our way forward and find out where I went wrong. How does this sample soun ...

Thanks 0VU it is phasiness that I am hearing as well. There's something not quite right, I thought it was low end gear but with the mics stated, things should sound toghter and more coherent. Is there ...

The main pair were Shoeps MK21 and a Sennheiser MKH30/40 MS pair right infront of the Choir.

Woops! So much for my "low end" comment. Then it must be the hall, there is this thickness, sluggishness ...

Tony, there's a good balance there, but I hear some strange things.

1. The women seem to be coming from the centre left and the centre right, a bit more from centre right. Did you mix a couple of s ...
