I think that Elizabeth Papapetrou best described how a music dude feels when thinking about recording a piano in the studio:
"Are you ready for a challenge? Take about 240 strings; stretch them across a mutant harp; attach 88 hammers, mechanical contrivances, and keys; mount it all over a soundboard; put the whole mess in a giant wooden box; and make noise with it. Then grab a bunch of microphones and try to capture the true sound of the glorious, pulsating, ultimate acoustic music machine you've created. Intimidated yet?" - Elizabeth Papapetrou (2000)
Recording the piano certainly can be a tough task in the recording studio, but we got out the ole digital camera, some mics and stands, and our know-how, and have put together a nice little pictorial/article that should get you started on how to record a piano so it doesn't suck :)

There is no doubt that digital audio and computer recording has reshaped the way we work in the studio. The problem is that many of us don't work in a bubble - we like to record our music and then take it to a friend's or a professional studio to record more tracks, mix, or master the audio. Moving your audio projects to another studio posses challenges of it's own. If you are interested in sharing your audio projects with another studio, read further.
