This video takes a look at how to produce solo piano and other solo acoustic instruments. The process of producing this type of music is similar to a full band but the application is different. - Hudba
Thank you Jake! I am glad I found you ! you have reached 700+ subs now! Looking forward to more of your videos.. I am mixing my piano pieces now preparing for release. and I find your tutorial very helpful! Thank you!!! I subbed!
Wow - what a wealth of information. I can't tell you how much this helped me this evening. Thank you!
Great video and very sound & clear "ideology" on solo piano mixing! Thanks a lot for your effort and sharing!
I just tracked my first piano with some NTRs and a STealth as a mono room, this video was really healpful, thank you :)
Very well done video with lots of useful info. Subscriber gained
SUPER helpful! Thank you 🙏🏻

Sylvain Picart Glad it could help, I have been playing with a few other live piano producing techniques as well. So there might be round 2 of this video. Cheers!

This was very helpfull.
great video! :)
I'm a boogiewoogie pianist and it's the main feature in my music. Now, I'm talking about listening in headphones. I always thought that if the piano is full right and left it appears to be 180 degrees wide, like ear to ear or right across the sound stage. I assume it's different in speakers as you get crosstalk between them. I've tried xy and ab stereo and then I tried to use a mono mic in the centre of my grand, which captures it with zero phase problems but sounds unexciting. Then I tried putting it through a stereo widener, such as Izotope Relay. I don't know what it does to the signal but it seems almost stereo and has a magnificent sound. Completely opens it up and transforms it. I widen it so as to sound maybe 40degrees wide, as though listening to it from the front row in the audience. The wider I make the piano, the closer it sounds, until it sounds like it's right inside my head, or my head is inside the piano. Same applies with two mics in stereo, but then I've always felt that even as the player I don't hear bass left, treble right. The strings cross over and I hear a mixed sound. My ears aren't completely cut off like in headphones. Both ears hear the whole sound from slightly different positions giving spatial awareness. Surely, if you are listening from a few yards away, a piano on stage is almost mono, but in the stereo ambience of the room. You don't hear bass and treble separately. Someone help me. Am I insane? Its certainly been driving me that way. I'd love to hear your thoughts. You know more than me. Most people do.
Sorry, what was the question again?
Quick question, is there any levels LUFS we try and target for solo pianos when we master the track? For pop songs, I target around -8. But for Piano pieces, I don't think this work, there are so many distortions happening. > < I wonder what went wrong? I was told to reference another track. Would that be what you would do too?
I would say LUFS -14 master for streaming (it's about 1db difference among platforms) -8LUFS is probably hot
that vmr blue 76 compressor works opposite 7 means faster release time and 1slower release time
Haha yea after I made this video, I was thinking to myself that same thing. I appreciate the input for sure!
Whats your take on a mastering chain for digital piano, recorded from USB? I'm wondering if some New Age artists are having some complex mastering done.....Any thoughts?
Hi Jake. Thanks for the great video. I am trying editing EXISTING piano, guitar and flute music which I purchased from third parties. My goal is to make this music softER and smoothER, in order to help listeners to fall asleep. Could you please suggest a kind of "universal" plug-ins which would make the above-mentioned instruments sound softer and smoother? I am using Logic Pro X.
Addictive keys piano!!!!

Bro, next time please first play the audio
I don’t get it though the way you set it up you still hear all the other stuff in all of the mics you did not cut out the high signal from the low piano or the low from the high piano
Tips start at 2:05
Not necessarily. "Tips" include inception and getting it as good as you can at the source. Therefore, his tidbit of the recording process at :35 shouldn't be overlooked.
Can you do a mix for me.
is it me, or the piano could have been (substantially) better tuned before recording? This is not something you can fix later.
Yes, like grandma piano? A little bit piercing - I have a perfect pitch...
If this was a solo piano recording I would not have used abrasive digital plugins. It would be tracked with hardware EQ/comp and reverb. Dependant on the original recording, quality of mics and placement.
"If I had money, I would have used that money to purchase expensive gear, and subsequently utilised that expensive gear."
lots of yapping bro, this video could be 8-10 minutes only
I think it was far too much talking. You didn’t even get down to the production tips until six minutes - I had to leave. Good luck.
