I've been doing a couple of VO recordings at Private Ear's studio B but now I got the chance to do a session at Studio A last May. Recorded the grand piano and vocals in A. I used a a pair of Neumann KM84's in ORTF config on top of the piano and fiddled with the placement until I got a centered image. Also had an beyerdynamic omnidirectional mic placed below the grand piano almost parallel wih the ortf km84s above and flipped the phase on that mic to help centering the image more. Last pair were room mics, which were a apir of AKG C414s in mid side config (one figure 8 and one cardiod) about 8 meters away from the piano. I did a midside config so I could control the amount of room tone I can get in the song. I'm thinking a more roomy tone in the 1st verse and a more direct sound during choruses and then back to a roomier tone in the outro. I would love to share the song here but I would not permission first from the songwriter. I'll post pictures for the meantime.
