- The Pianet sound is relatively dry, suggesting close miking or minimal use of reverb.
Recreation Tips
- Use a Hohner Pianet or a virtual instrument that accurately emulates its sound.
- Record the Pianet through a clean preamp to maintain its clarity.
- Add a touch of compression to even out the dynamics without making it sound overly processed.
- Experiment with slight EQ adjustments to brighten the tone, focusing on the higher frequencies.
- Avoid excessive reverb or delay to keep the organ sound tight and focused within the mix.
