Recording Notes

  • The piano was likely recorded in a relatively untreated room, contributing to the raw and slightly ambient sound.
  • Close-miking techniques were probably employed to capture the directness and percussive nature of the piano.

Recreation Tips

  • Use a bright-sounding piano sample or patch as your starting point.
  • Experiment with adding a subtle chorus or detuning effect to create a slightly warbly texture.
  • Consider using a transient shaper to enhance the attack of the piano notes.
  • Apply a gentle high-shelf EQ boost to further brighten the sound.
  • If desired, add a touch of short, bright reverb to simulate the room ambience.
