Comments -
For the A-Level Music course, examinees either take a composing or a performance pathway. I took the performance pathway, which meant that I had to give a 20-minute long recital. Being a pianist, I naturally decided to play the piano.
Set-up was done by me, although the actual button pushing was done by my teacher Mr. Rhind-Tutt (Since I was on stage!). Microphones were placed, well, something like this (you can’t see very well). Just ignore the person blocking the view (Me!)!
Yielded a VERY mid-bass heavy result, too ‘warm’ in fact. the DAC chips seem to do weird stuff now and then as well, in that edirol recorder.
