Three Ways to Mic a Piano with Jacquire King

[@truecuckoo]

This is the best kind of content!

[@UniversalAudio]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@markszymanski1177]

Jacquire is such a master of tone and etiquette...

[@GoodVibeTribe]

Anything UA Plus Jaquire has got to be good!

[@davidhrivnak]

This series with Jacquire King is great. Thank you!

[@LeChapeauMusic]

The third mic is also smoothening the stereo image a lot. You should try leaving it out of phase with the other 2 mics and boosting 1-2kHz on it. + using an omni mic for that instead. That should be placed exactly between the piano's back and the wall.

[@elephantgrass631]

Yeah but this was just an ad for UA mics.

[@LeChapeauMusic]

@elephantgrass631 i know

[@elephantgrass631]

@LeChapeauMusic So then what do you expect these guys to do, promote another brand's mic? They're using what they have to sell.

[@LeChapeauMusic]

@@elephantgrass631 they do sell omni mics i think even their modelling mic has an omni. they could use that. but also this is advice for people watching the video as if it were an actual tutorial. capturing the standing wave can go a long way towards getting a smoother sound and stereo image in the mix.

[@elephantgrass631]

@ Theure pushing their new mics. It would be a dumb marketing move to throw in their old line in the video which is not supposed to be extensive.

[@archiebeatz]

Such a beautiful recording of this Yamaha upright! Awesome mic technique! 🙏🏾

This was a great video thank you! Ive been looking for more content on the SP-1 mics, happy to hear them in action.

[@UniversalAudio]

👍🏻

[@bregn]

This sounds really good. Thank you very much for your insights!

[@UniversalAudio]

You got it!!

[@chrislink73]

front panel removed, just the two mics was the way to go. Loved the separation, don't even think the third mic was necessary.

[@UncleG0]

Thank's guys for great video! Peace!✌❤🌍

[@alicsongnamah3648]

Is it a Yamaha U1 G ?

[@navarronationmedia]

Good to see ya Jacquire ! I’m lovin the tips ! Hope to see ya in action in the studio soon ;) Meow

[@whatskraken3886]

this was actually really well done, wow

[@PurpleMusicProductions]

Nice video. I am definitely interested in these microphones.

[@UniversalAudio]

Be sure to get a listen at your local UA dealer.

[@vintagesound904]

Great content as usual! Could you make a similar video for violin and orchestral strings ? :D

[@UniversalAudio]

👍🏻

[@whatskraken3886]

@@UniversalAudio Trombone too please!

[@koncerty-bielsko]

I prefer the sound of the first technique. I know that during the live concert the best sound is with the front panel removed, but not for recording. When I listen to the first technique recording, I have an impression of being inside the piano and that's great. What do you think about using Rode NT1 mics for that? I am asking, because I have these mics. I don't have an upright piano at home to try it now.

[@MONTIQUEWILLIS]

Great job guys 👏👏👏

[@KarlCoatesMusic]

Very helpful. Thank you chaps.

[@peppyp7323]

yes i love jacquire king

[@ozoneswiftak]

Thanks, I'm gonna use my sm 57' s and a Tascam old school recording device.

[@randomschittz9461]

It will probably sound awesome! I love Tascam’s old stuff and their new stuff seems pretty good too. I just recently sold a Tascam M3500 but I’m buying it back. Luckily, the guy ran out of room for it because I really missed that sound. What Tascam are you using?

[@kennethHuo]

Very helpful video, this is exactly I need. Thank you.

[@fdschuler7863]

I haven't heard a Upright sound like this without EQ. I reckon there's a fair bit of processing going on here because the sound of the piano doesn't really change much with microphone positioning.

[@pedroahets]

Awesome video. Thanks!

[@UniversalAudio]

👍🏻

[@josephsullivan1612]

Lots of info here! Thanks.

[@drummerpouk]

Are you choosing the good level of preamp you need by putting the LA2A meter selector on Output and checking the needle to be on +2 VU ?

[@UniversalAudio]

Yes.

[@sam-if6ui]

Hey. newbie here. can someone explain how to record two mics in one take ? Also is each mic hard panned to the opposite side ? thank you

[@kucekto]

Wonderful! I wonder if you could do one for grand piano. And both Pop / Classical music

[@siebepronk]

What are the best Pre-Amps for recording with a hybrid piano? I have the Apollo Twin (for Classical Music).

[@musicbyhiran]

awesome.

[@joaopaulomelosilva4292]

Yamaha U1?

[@simmibeats]

Where did you get that distortion plugin?

[@Kharrari]

more of this

[@UniversalAudio]

More coming!!

[@agri2986]

how can i download the sample? there is only mic shopping webpage

[@AudioReplica2023]

freaking API preamp bro..lol. Love that sound

[@tmpleofficial]

Hi guys, Anyone got any tips on having gain issues when micing these up and recording through logic? i've set them up just like this and have got phantom power on (using a Scarlett focusrite) but the signal comes through so quiet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated :)

[@UniversalAudio]

Move them closer and/or up the gain on the mic pre.

[@bigboss1737]

song name in the beginning ?

[@Ushterek]

Thanks for the video!! May I ask what type of software do you use for recording piano + what plugins would you recommend? Thanks

[@JulianFernandez]

thanks!

[@NateLgg]

It’s the Yamaha U3 right?

[@lamasteve6905]

Come south !

[@JohnDoe-ls2ww]

That upright looks like a Yamaha U1A. From what i’ve gathered, you can put mics in a toilet bowl next to the U1A and it will still sound like Heaven.

[@anonymous_friend]

So UA SP1's look like they are knocking off Neumann km 184.... dirty....

[@gerdmilano8137]

We got uncontrollable 200hz buildup and boxiness in the recording! Lets just cover that up with delays and a super bass heavy beat. lmfao

[@guycohenhanoch7721]

There is an LA 2A sitting at the back of the room.. abuse it..

[@infotalkk]

You chose a very monotonous and repetitive song for this video. Put me to sleep. But good insights and effort overall.

[@soulslip]

I suppose if that’s what you want to focus on ok.... there’s literally millions of songs out there, who cares. I disagree with that opinion. Not all piano music needs to be mozart ir bach playing every note in a scale. I thought it sounded just fine

[@sam-if6ui]

thank you mister quality control

[@jakubfigiel3197]

This piano sound really cheap. Muffled and flat. I am speaking about the instrument, not the recording.
