Surely the by man clearly perceptible should be much more important than that most man can't possibly detect? Still, the original question was just that. How does one record an organ? Is your answer - can't be done? Lars I'm sure it can, but not every component in every recording system can do it. Further, I'm guessing now, less than 10% of the repro systems could play it back. Further, further, if you could record frequencies that low, you'd probably also get a ton of LF crap that travelled miles to get to the mics. Go in, make a nice recording and don't sweat the 27.5 Hz.

The last organ I recorded had only 16'. So the pedal C was around 30Hz. I was actually recording a choir with a bit of organ at places and one solo organ piece. So, focus was on the choir, not on the organ. The solo organ thing was Franck Chorale III. The low pedal C is hit several times (and several pedal notes nearby too;-). The C recorded just fine and it also comes out just fine. My system has no problems. It's a fairly simple system compared to the truly good ones. B&W CM4 speakers, ordinary hifi amp, no sub-woofer. 30 Hz is no problem. My headphones - Sennheiser HD650 and HD240 - also both give me that bottom (albeit less majestic than the speakers...). Mics were Pearl DC96 from yesteryear (bought 1980) cardioid aimed at the choir and from the organ that was in the other end of the church... (Franck's Chorale III is a romantic piece and surprisingly it could take the distant mics pretty well) I'm (still) looking for a good set of omnis partly for organ (unable to decide km183? C482? or double price Schoeps/DPA/mkh120). There are other and larger organs in my neighborhood. Further, further, if you could record frequencies that low, you'd probably also get a ton of LF crap that travelled miles to get to the mics. Seems to me that this is true of the other end of the spectrum as well. Why bother with (non music) things two/three/four octaves above top pitch of an instrument when you happily ignore the bottom octaves (note plural) of the MUSICs content? Go in, make a nice recording and don't sweat the 27.5 Hz. You'll probably have to start rolling off at 80Hz anyway. I think you're trying to take me for a ride.... :-( Now, isn't it weird that your (and perhaps others) expectations are so low in one end of the spectrum and so high in the other. Top key on a piano is around 4kHz. We demand more than two octaves headroom above that in our recordings (16-20kHz). With 96kHz sample rate we demand three octaves headroom. With 192 kHz we'd get four octaves above topmost key on a piano... On the other end of the spectrum you expect no head (or foot-) room at all (what about difference tones giving content below bottom fundamental? you ignore them?). You don't even expect the last octave to record. You'll even happily strip off two octaves from the bottom. More even. I want the bottom C at 16 Hz. Next octave C is 32 Hz. Next octave C is 64 Hz and this octaves E is 82 Hz. You suggest rolling off at 80Hz. We're not talking subtle adjustments here. We're stripping more than TWO octaves from the instrument proper.

octaves from the instrument proper. That's NOT good enough! BRBR While I'm not sure what Ty's organ recording philosophy is, I do hope you realize that a roll off starting at 80Hz does not remove 2 octaves of spectrum. An 80Hz roll off will be down 3db at 80Hz &, depending on the filter characteristics, more likely down 9db at 40 & down 12db at 20. Not removed, just lessened, & quite possibly just what's needed to overcome the LF buildup caused by the acoustics of a highly reverberent large space, while being more likely to actually play back reasonably on a mid quality home speaker.

Fair enough. Trying to improve S/N is a worthy cause, as long as it doesn't mean dropping the signal... An organ without the two bottom octaves is a mutilated instrument. Not all organs are placed in major cities in noisy environments with tubes running perpetually through the ground. Some places have sparse train schedules. Quite a few are in quieter environments, like smaller towns or even rural areas. They may not be the most spectaular organs. Some might even lack the desired 32' ranks. Most have the 16' in some incarnation. Some are quite respectable and well worthy of recording. Some of our organists are very good and well worthy of recording. sincerely Lars -- lars farm // http://www.farm.se lars is also a mail-account on the server farm.se |

Those LF sounds from other sources will likely be quite audible during quieter passages. You want 'em fine by me. Should we avoid live organ concerts to? If we pick up more LF than is actually there then our techniques or equipment needs to improve! This is the topic of this thread. How does one record an organ properly? Cut away more than two octaves of the instrument proper as not good enough. We would never accept that we rolled off the two topmost octaves of a piano - from 1 kHz - and everything above it, but you happily suggests that from the other end of the instrument... Traffic is a problem, more so in some churches than others, but I dare say it is a problem well over 100Hz too... As for HVAC. We don't have [AC] in our churches (or homes or houses). For climate reasons... The few hot days that would benefit from cooling are nicely handled by the massive cool stone volumes of our churches anyway. Forced [V]entilation in churches isn't particularly common either and can be turned off if present. This is also for climate reasons and the shape of the very large rooms. If outside is much cooler than the inside and the house is high then there is always sufficient self-ventilation. [H]eating is usually central heating via water radiators and they are not dead silent, but rarely a big problem. Heating could be by electrical radiator (silent). Never by fan-driven contraptions. So, with a bit of foresight HVAC can be controlled. Still, I agree that there is a higher noise floor at low freq than at high. The other point is that there are very few reproduction systems capable of passing those frequencies. It is obvious that a hefty organ can not be reproduced faithfully on a low-fi equipment. Not all recordings are for the mass market. Not all recordings are intended for the beach or the car or as background noise at the office or in shops. Does that mean we should never record organ? sincerely Lars -- lars farm // http://www.farm.se lars is also a mail-account on the server farm.se |

Either by design or by vino, but from a recordists viewpoint it is a nice feature. As for the organ being side placed rather than end placed, yes it is probable, but the entrance end of the church is wide enough for an organ to be there and have windows either side as I recall the plan, so I decided not to assume but rather ask the questionee. It is sad that said questionee does not bother to supplement. dB Kind regards Peter Larsen -- ******************************************* * My site is at: http://www.muyiovatki.dk * ******************************************* |

Hi,
I have recorded a number of large pipe organs, including the one in the Sydney Opera House. I have found that either a spaced cardiod pair, or a M/S pair (one cardios, one figure of 8) give good results. The M/S pair allows some manipulation of the stereo width. In the Opera House I used the mic winches to place the mocs level with the middle of the organ. (The Opera House Organ is in a case which (IMHO) reduces the amound of sound that enters the audiorium, placing the mics closer to the organ gives a very good sound). In other circulstances I generally use a 3-4 metre high mic stand, and adjust the postition to produce the best sound. I have only a limited range of mics available but the AKG 414's have consistently given excellent results. Peter. Comments: Organ stop lengths 32', 16' etc. are a nominal figure and relate to the pitch of the lowest pipe. A stopped pipe sounds an octave lower than an open pipe of the same physical length. So a 16' stopped pipe would nomally be only 8 ft in physical length. With reed stops it also common to use 1/2 or 1/4 length resonators. So the 64' stop on the Sydney Town Hall Organ, is actually only 16' long. With the lowest pipes the main effect for the listeners is a low rumble and the harmonics of the pipe. Diego wrote: I'm going to record a big church organ. Here's a picture of the instrument: http://makeashorterlink.com/?R24D3552A Since it won't be very easy to move or change microphones due to the height of the instrument, I'd like some advices about the best recording tecnique to use. These are the microphones I have: 2 Schoeps MK2S 2 Schoeps MK21 2 Neumann KM 184 2 AKG 414 B-ULS I'm also going to build a Jecklin disk for some experiments, and I'm wondering if could be a good idea to use it for this recording. Note that: - the church is large and very reverberant but I don't worry about reverb, - I'd like to preserve (perhaps also highten) the stereophonic play of the pipes - the biggest pipe is a 32 foot pipe that reaches the frequency of 88 Hz. Thanks for the help and sorry for my english! Diego |

You were too busy taking what I said WAY too personally and then deciding that 16Hz was a necessity. Unless I misread the original post, this is not a science experiment, it's an audio recording in a big, nasty space. Find the right spot to place the right mics and hit record. If you're doing this for a client, where you'll actually get paid, the only things you need to ask are, how direct do you want the sound and how much of the noisy contraption you call a pipe organ do you really want to hear (Some people are more fascinated by the sound of all the relays, pumps and other moving parts than they are by the music. Nutty, but true.) and what''s the frequency response of your sound system? You'll NEVER capture the exact sound of the beast anyway. To get even close, you'd need, among other things, a pretty massive surround record system. And, theoretically, even if you could capture the beast, few systems existing in the known universe could play it back. It's reality. I didn't make the rules, science did. Stop trying to flog the messenger and go make the damn recording given your limitations. Me. I'd try Blumlein in the primary field. Or that 4-channnel Schoeps DSP-4p contraption I reviewed a year or so ago. The review is in my archives.

Some very life like recordings of theatre organs have been made with 3

Ive used RCA 77DX ribbon mics on theatre organs with warmth and hi end definition that sounds great. just a 50+ year broadcast engineer of doing remotes and on location recording. dnw -- --- don ward ward |

Lars -- lars farm // http://www.farm.se lars is also a mail-account on the server farm.se {the noisy contraption you call a pipe organ} When I'm in a church beit large or small that has a pipe organ, I expect to hear the natural sound of the instrument that sometimes includes wind leaks, blower noise, swell shades opening closing noise, console pneumatics thumping with register changes and on some smaller organs chest magnets clicking. This is the natural sound of a particular instrument. The same holds true for a theater pipe organ. I have recorded Wurlitzer and other pipe organs in empty theaters late at night with no outside traffic noise and I could plainly hear wind leaks, swell shade squeaks, trems chugging, and console stop pneumatics thumping every time the combination action was operated. I expected to hear this and so does most theater organ aficionados. This in my view in no way detracts from the music being played. George |
