There are a few things to remember when recording acoustic piano at home. First, you'll need to choose an appropriate microphone (or microphones) for the job. An acoustic piano, however, will require multiple microphones placed around the instrument to capture all of the nuances of the sound. Second, you'll need to set up your recording environment to be as quiet as possible. This means eliminating potential noise sources, such as air conditioners, fans, or background music. Finally, you'll need to make sure that your piano is in tune before you start recording! Nothing ruins a good recording quicker than an out-of-tune piano.

Selecting the right microphone can be overwhelming whether you are recording a band, singer, or podcast. This article teaches you important microphone concepts to think about when choosing the right microphone for the task.
