Re: Youtube - My version of Debussy Clarinet 1ère Rhapsodie (2019)

I'd say overall this is a good effort. I wonder though since the set up is artificial (not a recital) if this was one of several different "takes?" There are many little comments that could be made about various technical moments but it was a "performance" take and I'm sure you're aware of them. I'd only say that the long notes (except for the end) tended high in pitch compared to the piano and may have been caused by nerves taking over, but still should be an easy fix for the future.

So to that point of artificial. The space could not have been worse for sound with all the reflective surfaces; flat close walls, marble floor, and windows everywhere. If you have control of where you record make sure your future recording are NOT in this space.

I was confused by the perspective of the mics. It seemed "right" input heavy and perhaps just the mics off the GoPro or whatever video device were used. If at all possible you should use at very least a Zoom recorder for your audio (and preferably mic/preamp to ProTools or similar) then sync up in post. Keep in mind it is the SOUND that should be preeminent in these presentations.
