This is the best kind of content!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Jacquire is such a master of tone and etiquette...
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.
This series with Jacquire King is great. Thank you!
this was actually really well done, wow
Anything UA Plus Jaquire has got to be good!
👍🏻
This was a great video thank you! Ive been looking for more content on the SP-1 mics, happy to hear them in action.
👍🏻
Very helpful. Thank you chaps.
Very helpful video, this is exactly I need. Thank you.
front panel removed, just the two mics was the way to go. Loved the separation, don't even think the third mic was necessary.
This sounds really good. Thank you very much for your insights!
You got it!!
Good to see ya Jacquire ! I’m lovin the tips ! Hope to see ya in action in the studio soon ;)

🥂
Great job guys 👏👏👏
🥂
This is great, thanks a lot!
👍🏻
awesome.
Nice video. I am definitely interested in these microphones.
Be sure to get a listen at your local UA dealer.
Awesome. I have this exact piano. This is gold for me. 😃
🥂
Is it a Yamaha U1 G ?
yes i love jacquire king
Wonderful! I wonder if you could do one for grand piano. And both Pop / Classical music
Great content as usual! Could you make a similar video for violin and orchestral strings ? :D
👍🏻
@@UniversalAudio Trombone too please!
thanks!
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.
Such a beautiful recording of this Yamaha upright! Awesome mic technique! 🙏🏾
🥂
Thanks for the video!!
May I ask what type of software do you use for recording piano + what plugins would you recommend?
Thanks
freaking API preamp bro..lol. Love that sound
Thanks, I'm gonna use my sm 57' s and a Tascam old school recording device.
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?
Where did you get that distortion plugin?
What are the best Pre-Amps for recording with a hybrid piano? I have the Apollo Twin (for Classical Music).
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.
Come south !
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 ?
Yes.
more of this
More coming!!
how can i download the sample? there is only mic shopping webpage
song name in the beginning ?
It’s the Yamaha U3 right?
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 :)
Move them closer and/or up the gain on the mic pre.
Yamaha U1?
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.
So UA SP1's look like they are knocking off Neumann km 184.... dirty....
There is an LA 2A sitting at the back of the room.. abuse it..
You chose a very monotonous and repetitive song for this video. Put me to sleep. But good insights and effort overall.
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
This piano sound really cheap. Muffled and flat. I am speaking about the instrument, not the recording.
