What do you use to record piano? I hope I can help by sharing what I've learned and used over the years!
Performance comparison at 4:40
en ce moment j'apprend le piano, et pour écouter ma progression je m'enregitre en midi sur tablette Android avec audio évolution
You are the answer to all my questions!! Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for sharing this video. It's really useful. The last performance demo is very nice. Where I can find this music score?
I’ve been using Yamaha PSR electric piano connected to my IPad Air using iGrand Piano software for a more natural piano sounds selection and GarageBand to mix the piano sound with string section. :)
What software that you use to edit the audio?
You're not just a fantastic musician; you're kind and generous with your time. Thanks for posting this.
Very true!
Pianist, sound engineer, video maker, comedian, pilot, etc. you are one talented lady. Thanks for keeping us entertained. (Didn't realize how much equipment you had that we don't see.) Take care.
Thank you Sangah. This is an unexpected present right when our little church needed it. We're trying different things to worship together and that's not as simple as it once was. You're truly a blessing, more than you can imagine. Thank you for developing your gifts of music and personality, then making the world a better place by sharing them...Much love from Texas....Wally
Thank you! This video was extremely helpful!!
Did anyone just left the video and focused on her amazing way of playing this piano ❤️
Bought those, thanks. Now to figure out how to play the piano
What a nice way to demo distances and mic sources! I especially liked how you gave it a "denim" look and feel at the end! :)
I came for the recording advice but was blown away by the fantastic playing!!
Sangah, you have a great TEACHING gift! Thank you for your teaching today.
You helps me a lot. I've recently trying to record myself playing the piano just for class lesson but the audio isn't as best as I expected. This video of yours are definitely what I'm searching for!
You are the most helpful and so talented. Thanks so much.
Came for the tips, stayed much longer for the song itself 😍
Thank you, so helpful and amazing :)
I was searching for piano ways of recording then I found two ABSOLUTELY AMAZING things. The answer I wanted and a fantastic pino player !!! Thanks for sharing your music and passion.
same here
I go with 'real' & "sophisticated"
Really great and beautifully pro.
This was such a pleasure to watch! Thanks for sharing that wonder-full personality with us!
This is an excellent presentation Professor Sangah. Fine demonstration. Such a lot of work to put together. And the playing was terriffic! My fingers hurt from just watching you.
Can buy whatever piano or gadgets but no one would sound like you, it’s your SOUL😇 lovely ! Many thanks for sharing your equipments n cool stuff. You’re genius and high-tech too! Love this video 👍🏽
Thank you so much!! I’m trying to build my own little in-home studio and have two old pianos to work with, so this was super helpful for figuring out how to best capture their sound☺️🙌
Great technical demo, Sangah. Really well put together and the comparisons where you flicked between inputs was very informative. I thought it might be useful to explain the effect of mic distance. It sets the balance between the sound recorded directly from the piano and reflections from the walls, floor and ceiling of the room. The sound pressure level follows an inverse square law, so as you move closer to the piano the direct sound gets dramatically more prominent in the mix compared to the natural reverb. If you have a lot of hard surfaces you'll want to keep that reverb under control.
Of course, once you're _inside_ the piano, there are also reflections from the soundboard, case and lid, as well as the direct sound from the strings. Some engineers strap a piezoelectric microphone right onto the soundboard, as well as stereo condenser mics for the strings. Once you get a clear sound in your particular environment, the mix you choose is a matter of taste. Too much reverb can sound cold as well as mushy. A well-defined warm sound is generally achieved by placing mics one to three feet from the strings. (All in my humble and completely amateur experience).
Great info!
Thank you Sangah. This is very helpful. I have a friend who had been wondering about this. You’re the best. Love your generosity always.
Thank you Sangah Noona, I am just getting into digital recording - your video is really helpful. I struggle most with the software - my audio interface came with 'cubase' and I'm using shure sm-57. Ur awesome !
Your talent & knowledge amazes me
What a cool and helpful video! Thanks for doing it so well!
Yes, I have been very disappointed by the recordings when I just put my phone on the piano (although the mic on my new iPhone 11 Pro Max does sound much better than my older phones).
I never thought about putting my phone a short distance away. I just assumed the recording would be worse, not better. But not so!
In your demonstration, I couldn’t tell much difference between the Earbuds and the Lapel. I think those were my favorites.
Yes! The earbuds sound pretty good and can help to get a better camera angle and still control the mic distance
Congratulations. wonderful job. you are THE music .
the changes sound beautiful
Great information, shared from the perspective of someone that has experience using and recording at live gigs using each of these methods. The 🎹 playing was out of this world too! 👍💥
Thank you for helpful explanation!
Thanks so much for sharing this. Earbuds at 4 feet was my favorite which I will try for my Grade 8 digital exam coming up. BTW, while listening to your different microphone sounds, I really wasn’t listening to the music until.....it suddenly hit me that your music was seriously good! 🙏 for the stellar performance at the end with all microphones! 😀👏👏👏. Off to watch again....
Thanks noona, you are awesome. I have always been trying to figure out the best way to record from the accoustic
You have done an excellent job explaining with this sound tutorial video for many of us looking to record for online classes/recitals. Thank you Sangah for taking the time out of your busy schedule to share. 👏❤️😊
Thank you very much Sangah. It is was "very timely" for me as this was something I would like to work toward as I was looking in your links as to what you where using. Hooray! Thanks!
Oh my gosh!!! Do you know you have the best personality! You are fantastic! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 💗💗💗💗
Wow Sangah Noona, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and time. I appreciate it to the roof! Wish you more blessings to come.
Thank you so much Sangah. Beautiful playing!
Really incredible. Each mic sounds as if you are playing a diffrent piano.
Description and commentary are very easy to understand🤗
After all the Focusrite and microphone sound really good✨✨✨
Wow, what a fantastic video! Thanks very much! Your explanations, examples and editing are terrific, and you're so cheerful and upbeat, too.
Really thx that u did this video, im searching for video like this for veery long time. You are the only person, i see doing the video i searched for.
It is a joy to listen to you playing! And the comparison is fantastic! Thanks for sharing such a great video!
Wow, I'm just looking for a recording product. And your channel is the easiest to know what I wanted to know exactly!! Thank you so much!!!
Love your playing! So fun!
This is brilliant! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you so much for sharing. 🤘🏽❤️ Loved this video! 🙌🏽
Was that improv during the comparison? If so... Dang. That's killer. I can't imagine having that much imagination and talent to just riff like that. Very inspiring to keep learning. Thanks for the video. :3
Love your videos sangah, you’re just so real and natural about everything.
Hey there!!
Great info and great personality!!!
I tend to get nervous about things. I don’t know much about so your attitude was very helpful. Thank you.❤
Amazing , fantastic musician.. thank you for showing different quality, have been looking for this type of content.💕
Super helpful, thank you!!
I would say only a phrase for now: "WHAT A GENEROUS ARTIST". Thank you.
Very lovely Sangah 😊😊 I'm going to start my channel soon and I needed this ;) thank youuuuuuuuuu
Thank youuu so much..clear explanation within short time..
I also love your out-takes, Sangah. You should do more of those. Maybe a compilation video?
Thank you so much for this video! It's incredibly helpful that you compare microphones in all price classes and phone microphones too. I know what to look for now.
You are fantastic !!!!! Thank you for this video, it's the most helpful one among all the others. LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU FOREVER!!!!
Thank you so much, I've been figuring about this, you're an angel.
Thank you for this sangah noona!! 🙏💜 Much love from an aspiring pianist I loved the earbuds one and how distancing works! I might use it on my next covers thanks for this you have helped us a lot 💜
Thanks for that info. I'm in my second year of piano lessons as an adult beginner and so far I've been using the iPad and it's internal microphone ... not so hot. Recently, I purchased a GoPro Hero 4 camera and a Sennheiser MKE 2 elements waterproof microphone for my sailing videos but I plan to try this microphone for my piano lessons. Singer and pianist Aimee Nolte actually used this setup to record some jazz vocals while she was surfing and posted a video on UA-cam about it! She really likes the microphone and sometimes uses it when she hasn't got her full recording setup with her. You don't have to use the video ... easy to rip the sound track if that's all you want. Many thanks for your wonderful music ... I'm really glad I discovered your channel.
You are amazing! Thanks for your help!
Love this! I use the label but gonna move it around and experiment. A technical mixer I am not. Thanks so much for sharing your talents and expertise!!
How does someone manage to be so wholesome?!
I have always wondered about this…..THANK YOU FOR THE ENLIGHTENMENT 💡❤️🙏🏻
Just bought a c214 kit with the help of your video, thanks!
Thank you! It’s very useful for me!!
Very useful! Thanks 🙂
Love this video, not just the content that is helpful, but your confidence and presenting. And how did you do it speaking English like a native speaker? very impressive!

So comprehensive introduction of your recording gears. Personally I most like Apogee sound than others. While I'm using AK1 by Native Instrument for recording sources especially virtual instrumentals. Thanks for sharing very informative items !
I asked you few days ago about your set up coz i really love the sound of your piano. I guess you answered all my question with these video. Thank you much for sharing . Love the way you play the piano and your own arrangements. ❤️🎹👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍
Genius, in so many different ways!
Thank you Sangah. I need to consider these lovely options again for my Fall recital. For now, in 2 days, I will use my iPhone. You are really awesome to give us excellent tips & knowledge. Thank you Sangah for being an “Ohsome” you! 👏👏👍🏼👊🏼❤️😊
