Gear for recording voice and piano
#986933 - 11/05/12 07:16 PM

Any ideas for recording decent quality vocal and acoustic grand piano (simultaneously) as a ideas/notepad for songwriting? Will one of the latest portable recorders (edirol/zoom etc) be able to do this? I have doubts as I would need enough separation between piano and my vocal. Perhaps external mics might address this. I don't need top level quality.....it's just for getting ideas down fast.

Cheers

You could always use a Zoom H2 positioned as a vocal mic but with all four mics active, the back two mics would then pick up the piano and the front two the voice. It wouldn't sound amazing but it's convenient as a one-mic-stand option...

Thanks - I'll look into that option.
