Mic That Piano part 2

Well I was unable to make my KSM 27 experiment did not work but I am going to try a few small diaphragm side address microphones. My first set will be Audio Technica ATM 450 and after that I will be trying a pair of Beta 181's. I ended up using DPA 4061's which worked great as usual, but I am still looking for a new microphone setup so I can switch the DPA's to violin when needed. Stay tuned for the results in the coming weeks.

Mic That Piano

Well with Easter coming up and the huge amount of channels we are using i am going to have to get creative with my microphones. i am currently using DPA 4061 stereo pair on the piano. I also love these microphones on violin, which we have two for Easter. I just saw a videonusing a couple Audix SCX25 with lid closed. Well I don't have any 25's so I am going to try out a couple KSM27's and see what happens. Stay tuned for the results.

I Forgot my iPod!

Well I forgot my iPod for our Lord's Supper Service on Wednsday. I thought no problem I will just use my iPad for the preservice music. It after all has the same playlist for just such a time as this. I have an iPod dock I use so the iPod is standing up, the dock makes it an easy connection to the sound board. I also have an iPad dock in my office. I thought that it would be nice to switch the docks out for the night. It was pretty cool looking, the iPad standing next to the sond board. The issue i had isnthat it was way to big. The people behind the sound booth were looking at a giant distraction. So it was cool but also the big D. DISTRACTING! Exactly what we don't want to be in the tech area. Lesson learned, we need to find a better spot if we use the iPad in the sou d booth.
