In interviews, both Al Schmitt and Ed Cherney mentioned using similar systems for achieving an acceptable amount of isolation while recording a singing pianist (Dianna Krall and Nora Jones). |

Has anyone tried differential miking in this situation? (two omnis or possibly cardioids, matched gain located as close as possible to one another, one out of phase with the other, singer sings into one mike only). |

Dan Healy experimented a great deal with differential mikes for his "wall of sound" Grateful Dead stage setup. The Sennheiser omni dynamics he ended up using work the best I've heard but the large changes in sound caused by tiny movements of the singer make it pretty much unsuitable for a recording. When I worked for Quicksilver, we got to use all of the Dead's unused gear we wanted. |

Any ideas where to get those really thick foam sheets? I've seen some of those foot thick "walls" in pictures. I record a LOT of piano playing singers and would love to try some out. |

Try a place that sells "furniture" grade foam, or foam for bedding, both come in pretty thick chunks, and big too.... |
