Recording Notes

• The piano was likely recorded in a well-treated studio environment to capture a clean and balanced sound.
• Compression was applied to even out the dynamics and add sustain, helping the piano cut through the mix.
• A touch of reverb was used to create a sense of space and blend the piano with the other instruments.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a bright-sounding piano, preferably a Yamaha CP-70 or a similar stage piano known for its clear tone.
• Use a Neumann U87 to capture a detailed and accurate representation of the piano's sound.
• Apply compression using a Urei 1176 to control the dynamics and add sustain. Adjust the attack and release times to match the tempo of the song.
• Add a subtle reverb to create a sense of space and blend the piano with the other instruments. Experiment with different reverb types and settings to find the right balance.
