Recording Notes

• The piano was likely recorded in a large studio space to capture the natural reverberation.
• Close-miking techniques were likely used to capture the clarity and detail of the instrument.
• The piano was well-maintained and tuned to achieve a pure and resonant tone.
• EQ and compression, if used, would have been applied subtly to enhance the natural sound of the piano without being overly processed.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a high-quality grand piano sample or virtual instrument.
• Use a microphone model that emulates the characteristics of a Neumann U67.
• Experiment with microphone placement to find the sweet spot that captures the instrument's full range.
• Add a touch of natural-sounding reverb to simulate the acoustics of a recording studio.
• Use gentle compression and EQ to enhance the piano's clarity and warmth, but avoid over-processing.
