I like it. We have another one like you named Musicalis. It's even nicer
when you have two composers to listen to their music.

Janne,

I am truly impressed with the wonderful quality of these recordings. The clarity of each voice and rank of pipes is outstanding. To catch those sounds as well as some of the buildings natural acoustics is an accomplishment indeed.

Thanks for sharing these with this community. Looking forward to the technical aspects of these recordings.

Hi!
Thanx for your view on this recording

I have use a pair of DPA 4003 with homemade Acoustic Pressure Equaliser, 40 mm. Preamp HMA 5000 set on 0db, and then through
my Apogee MiniMp. Everything is connected to a Fireface 800 and recorded on Cubase 4, I only use the DPA 4003.

Balance is a difficul thing to manage, but when you use this APE:s on the DPA, suddenly everything is nice, smooth and clear, even on distance.

The microphones is more less omni, with this Acoustic Pressure Equaliser.

Janne,

Thanks for the technical information on the recordings.

The mic placement ... how far away from the actual pipes were these placed?

The organ is in Lulea cathedral, and organist is Mr Wargh.

We where curious about my new DPA 4003, this is only a test recording.
Soon we will make a serious recording (video), and put out on youtube.

This danish microphones are wonderful :)

Hi, Janne! Good job on the organ recording. The DPA 4003 are the best mics for organ recording that I know of. Their tonal profile is ideally suited for recording an instrument that is large, and therefore needs to be miced somewhat at a distance, compared to piano. The upper midrange and high treble are open and spacious. You want to capture every last reverb tail!

You might want to experiment with the 4003s by mounting them as a coincident pair with an acoustical sheild between them. Placing the mics closely together clarifies lateral imaging. This is also a good technique if the church is narrow, with the potential of slap-echoes side to side. This subtlety cleans up the reverb by making it coherent (Front-to-Back is slightly louder than L/Reverb. This baffle should not be too absorbent---about them same as your head if your are young enough to still have hair. Another modification is the trapazoidal grids (available from DPA). The business end of the grid is slightly smaller than the base (which screws onto to the pencil). The APE balls are fun to experiment with. What did you learn from using them?

Ribbon mics can also be good organ mics, especially for organs which are excessively bright. They will have a very tight bass that goes "all-the-way down" and well focused image-wise (caveat: center image can be a problem with two mics)

Well, I think I've blathered on a bit too long...

Roger
