Recording Notes

- A stereo chorus effect, possibly from a Roland JC-120, widens the piano's stereo image and adds depth.
- Compression, likely from a Urei 1176 or similar, helps the piano cut through the mix and maintains a consistent level.
Recreation Tips

- Apply a subtle stereo chorus effect to widen the stereo image.
- Use a compressor to even out the dynamics and add punch.
- EQ to taste, focusing on warmth in the low-mids and clarity in the high frequencies.
