Tone Profile

The piano sound is bright, clean, and percussive, with a slightly compressed and EQ'd tone to cut through the mix. It provides a foundational harmonic and rhythmic element to the song.

Recording Notes

• The piano was likely recorded with a direct input (DI) to capture its clean and bright tone.
• The SSL console would have been used for EQ and compression to further shape the sound and ensure it sits well in the mix.
• Additional processing might have included subtle reverb to add depth and space.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Yamaha CP70 piano or a similar stage piano known for its bright and percussive sound.
• Use a direct input (DI) to capture the piano's clean signal.
• Apply compression using an SSL-style compressor to control the dynamics and add punch.
• Use an SSL-style EQ to further shape the sound, boosting the high frequencies for brightness and clarity, and cutting any muddiness in the low-mids.
• Add a touch of reverb to create a sense of space and depth.
