exactly as it sounds

klezmer...or best of the best recording methods and equipment:
1) Miking a grand-piano
2) DAD AX-24 audio converter. Intoducing the DXD conversion technology, with 352.8 kHz sampling rate. Now the digital will sound as a real instrument. Finally.
A short story here. When I was choosing equipment for my field work, I decided not to look at prices, but at technical specifications and mike diagrams instead. My finding was the DPA (formerly Bruel & Kjaerr) microphones. When I looked at the price, well... $4,500 for one mike, meaning twice as much for a stereo pair. Need another job or a good grant for that... But when I later recorded with these mikes in a studio, I realized, they are worth every penny spent.
