Recording Notes

• The piano was likely recorded in a professional studio setting, possibly at Abbey Road Studios where Badfinger frequently recorded.
• The Neumann U67 microphones would have been positioned to capture a balanced representation of the piano's frequency range.
• Compression from the Teletronix LA-2A helped to even out the dynamics and add sustain.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a high-quality grand piano sample or recording.
• Use a vintage-style microphone emulation plugin to capture the characteristic sound of a Neumann U67.
• Apply gentle compression with an LA-2A emulation to control dynamics and add warmth.
• Slightly boost the high frequencies to enhance clarity and presence.
