I got that on LP I think. Man, I got dust everywhere. i’d have to clean a whole day to laser LPs again. Gonna make bad shellac transfers with that fried cartridge for a bit.

Researching old technical manuals for recordings.

Broadcast & Studio Engineering Handbooks (c.1940s)

In addition to manufacturer manuals, the late 1940s saw published handbooks that codified studio recording techniques. One excellent example is John F. Rider’s “Broadcast Operators Handbook” (1st ed. 1947; 2nd ed. 1950), which includes chapters on microphone placement for different program types. This is an authoritative period source used in radio and recording studios. It provides very detailed piano miking advice, complete with “tricks of the trade” and illustrations:

  • Solo Piano: The handbook stresses that a single grand piano is best recorded with one microphone at a sufficient distance – not tucked inside the piano. “First, regardless of how softly the pianist plays…the microphone should not be placed up under the lid… a pickup under the lid and close to the sounding board will not allow natural transmission of the piano tones.” Instead, close-miking causes many inaudible peaks and forces the level down, resulting in loss of “musical brilliance.” The guide notes that while engineers might be accustomed to the “familiar” sound of a close mic, *“it is not natural reproduction.”*​worldradiohistory.comworldradiohistory.com In other words, 1940s practice aimed for a more realistic, ambient piano sound than modern close-mic techniques.For setting up the mic, the handbook suggests a starting point about 20 feet away from the piano, at the height of a person’s head, then moving closer if needed: “Start with a distance of 20 feet, head high. In a dead studio, this distance will probably result in a ‘thin’ response… In live studios, the sound may be too reverberant… Move the microphone in [closer] on a line drawn through the center of the sounding board until the tones are full bodied and just the right amount of reverberation exists.” This distance typically ends up no less than ~8 feet in most cases​worldradiohistory.comworldradiohistory.com. The manual also explicitly advises to have the piano lid fully open (“on full stick”) for the best sound pickup​worldradiohistory.com.

This right out of the RCA Type 44 Manual.

unfortunately this advice liable to blow the engineer’s ears out if recording tgilf

Between 8 and 20 feet distance with 12 recommended. Damn…

Close mic plague hit later I guess.

close mic if you want some tinny, metallic, jizz-style sound imo

There was a pretty steep roll off above 5k on those early ribbon mics too. Think fatty’s urge to reconstruct a high end in these recs a bit misguided. At 20 feet back and with a mellow mic sheeyat warmth for days, not top end detail.
