Recording Notes

• The piano was likely recorded with a close mic technique to capture the detail and articulation. The use of a premium condenser microphone, such as a Neumann U67, would provide a warm and detailed sound. The piano was recorded in a large studio room with a natural reverb.
• The piano was likely recorded with a few room microphones to capture the ambience of the room. A touch of plate reverb was added during mixing to enhance the spaciousness of the piano.

Recreation Tips

• Use a high-quality grand piano sample or virtual instrument. Focus on capturing a warm and full sound with a strong fundamental.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot for your piano. A close mic will capture detail, while a room mic will add ambience.
• Add a touch of plate reverb to create a sense of space and depth. Be careful not to overdo it, as too much reverb can muddy the sound.
• Use a gentle EQ to shape the tone and remove any unwanted frequencies. Focus on boosting the low-end for a full and rich sound.
