microphone input
how would one make use of the microphone input in audiobus and cubasis for recording accoustic instruments (piano)?
Comments
You can either directly use the internal microphone of your idevice or use one or more external ones connected to one of the many compatible external usb audio devices via the camera connection kit. For the scenario you are mentioning you would not really need audiobus per se. But using audiobus would offer the opportunity to insert effects in between mic input and daw.
In reality, recording something like an acoustic piano is a tricky undertaking requiring the right equipment, environment and the skills to set them up correctly. Without those, the results are usually somewhat disappointing. By all means, give it a go, but if good results are imperative within a budget and short timescales, you would be better off using one of the better sampled piano sound sets available in app form.
Of course, I completely agree with PaulB on this. But -as a hobby drummer- I often record acoustic drums with only two Shure beta 57A on Alesis IO/4 and Ipad 3 ( for an example). It all depends whether you will be satisfied with that first 80% of quality...
You're right, drums can be done quite well with two mics.
Pianos too. If you're looking for an abbey road piano sound it's probably not going to happen but if you are interested in capturing your piano you can absolutely pull it off. If you think about how it is going to sound in the mix, you can use your mic locker and room shortcomings to good ends.
Drums and piano are probably the hardest acoustic instruments to record but they're also the most fun!
The subaqueous scubaphone is a bugger to record as well.
