Hi-
Yesterday at Posthorn Recordings I used my new video camera, which has an external mic input, to record Steve Martorella (Minister of Music at the First Baptist Church in America) playing a few things including a nice "Aria" from the Goldberg Variations on the Stuart & Sons grand piano.
The mic was a Schoeps CMBI cardioid. I admit the lighting still needs work, but the sound is much improved over previous efforts!
Please let me know what you think, and please leave a YT comment if you wish.
Thanks,
John Marks
