Suzanne Ciani

Per Suzanne's interview with Women in Sound Feb 4, 2019:

I use Digital Performer if I’m recording and a MOTU interface. I have a Genelec quad [loudspeaker] setup that I love. I have a Focusrite preamp that I love for my piano. I have a nice [Neumann] U87 that I brought from my New York studio. I use a matched pair of Schoeps [microphones] on the piano. My bowed Vocoder is still sitting there. There’s a storage space downstairs where I keep other instruments that I can bring up to the studio. I might have one other instrument like a [Sequential] Prophet 6 on a stand. I had a Moog One here last week. That was pretty big. I’m into minimalism.

The CFIIIS was recorded using two B&K 4006 microphones, a Boulder mic preamp, and a DCS DCS900 24‑bit A/D converter, while the Disklavier was recorded using two Neumann M50 microphones. Recording was accomplished in24‑bit with a Tascam DA88 digital 8‑track and a Rane RC24T PAQRAT recording converter. Coincidentally, this allows 24‑bit recording in stereo on a DA88. The album was assembled and pre‑mastered with the Sonic Solutions Mac‑based audio editing system, which was created by James Moorer, a music software genius whom Suzanne knew from her days of studying computer music at Stanford University's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. A Sony PCM9000 was used to finally transfer the album for mastering.
