Apologies for the blatant promotion...

I recorded/mixed/co-produced "The Sky Is Blue and Sometimes Cries" for
my family's small label, Soona Songs. I think it's something special --
and so is Lisa Markley!

You can listen to samples here:
http://www.myspace.com/lisamarkley
http://www.soonasongs.com/store_lm2.php

The label has submitted it for a Grammy (Best Jazz Vocal Album), and
it's made it through the first cut of nominees. We have our fingers
crossed!

Thanks for reading/listening.

Graham

Thanks DC. Actually it was done with a Jim Williams-modified Alesis
HD24XR into Samplitude. Mixed in Samplitude.

was in TX) being used for one of my band's records...

Sounds great Graham. I like the feel of "being there". What piano
was used?

Thanks. It's a Yamaha U1 upright from the mid 80's.

Wow. I guess a 20 yr old Yamaha sounds like that. It's quite good. I assume

you mic'd from the back? x/y? spaced pair?

It's a really nice sounding piano to start with (48" tall). I tried a
lot of setups but ended up with modified m/s over Paul's right shoulder
facing the front of the piano (Microtech Gefell UMT70s in omni for the
mid, and another UMT70s in figure 8 for the side) plus a Soundelux U195
in the back for more lows. At first the sound was too wet, so we moved
the piano against the absorptive wall. Hardy M-1 for preamps.
