Tone Profile

The piano sound is bright, slightly distorted, and driving, with a strong percussive attack that cuts through the mix. It has a somewhat raw and energetic quality.

Recording Notes

• The Yamaha CP70 electric grand piano was used as the primary sound source.
• The signal was likely run through an SSL 4000 G+ console, utilizing its EQ and compression capabilities.
• The distortion/grit may have been achieved through pushing the console's preamp or channel strip.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Yamaha CP70 or a similar electric grand piano emulation.
• Use a console emulation plugin like the Solid State Logic SL 4000 E to replicate the channel strip's EQ and compression.
• Experiment with slight overdrive or saturation to achieve the desired level of grit and aggression.
• Focus on the mid-range frequencies to ensure the piano cuts through the mix.
