Recording Notes

• The piano was likely recorded in a large studio to capture a natural, slightly reverberant sound.
• A Neumann U67 was positioned to capture the full range of the piano.
• Compression was likely applied during mixing to enhance the presence and sustain of the piano.
• EQ adjustments were likely made during mixing to brighten the piano's tone and ensure it sits well in the mix.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a Steinway Model D piano sample or VST.
• Use a microphone modeler plugin to emulate the characteristics of a Neumann U67.
• Apply compression to even out the dynamics and increase sustain.
• Use EQ to boost the high frequencies for added brightness.
• Add a touch of plate reverb to create a natural sense of space.
