  • Need help for mics setup Fazioli F212

    Hello, community,

    Does anyone have a good grasp on setting up microphones similar to the ones used on this piece by Maxence Cyrin? I find the Fazioli F212 perfect for this piece, but I can’t seem to adjust the microphones to get a stereo sound as close as this one! Thank you so much ☺️



  • I think the recording uses close mics and lets the reverb do the job for the room. The bass notes appear to be more direct with less reverb. Very intimate with a long reverb on the higer notes.

    Well I'm not really experienced in designing pianosounds. But how about something like this?

    It's not spot on. But maybe that could be the direction.

    I've put a high pass filter in front of the reverb. That way the bass notes are bit less muddy and more intimate.

    I found that some very light chorus on the close condenser mics was nice.

    I usually use the reverb-plugins within my daw (Cubase). But the reverb in the players is not really bad.

    Hey! Thank you very much! Indeed, this seems to be the right path! A huge thank you again!
