I've spent years being frustrated by fake-sounding virtual instruments, so I've developed these techniques to get as realistic a sound as possible. The MIDI piano technique in this video will breathe life into your VST piano songs.

I almost always layer pianos like that as well, but the “room mic” and recording just the keyboard is next level. Such a cool idea.
thanks so much! the second I tried it out for the first time I knew I was never going back
Amazing video. Thank you!!!!
Always nice to see ways to improve realisms without access to big studios ! Very clear and well done, thanks :)
thanks so much, super glad to hear!
Great tips! This is one of those things that clearly makes a big difference in your final sound. I like adding a touch of RC-20 vinyl noise for some ambience low in the mix on the piano group bus too sometimes.
absolutely, great idea as well!
Interesting idea about room mic. Thanks for that
I was mindblown when I first tried it, you can do something similar for just about anything too!
I've done the multiple pianos before. (In Studio One, you can still put them all in one track called a Multi)...BUT...the part about using your phone as a room mic....genius! LOVE that. I will be trying that! I also love RAUM. Been a fan of NI for a long time! Alicia's Keys piano and Noire are my two starting points for pretty much everything. Piano Colors is also pretty nice.
thanks so much, and yes all amazing plugins! noire is one I haven’t tried but I’ve been meaning to for ages, I think this is my sign to finally try it out
So ingenuitive & helpful! Thank you!! = )
so glad to hear!
Genuinely so awesome!
you know it!
oh yeah another killer upload
thanks so much :)
the room mic technique is basically how a chamber reverb works but without the reverberation room
100%, same general concept for sure!
vibey for sure!
thank you :)
bright piano should be panned to the right cause the higher notes are on the right side of the piano
true, I usually do it that way! But the plugin Postfelt (the central piano in this project) actually already has a bit of stereoization built in, and the brighter sounds are to the right like you said. So it was a bit too imbalanced in this particular project. But generally speaking, totally agree!
I find it a bit odd to use three different sampled pianos to emulate a real one. There are good VSTs out there (from Arturia for example), where the different mics and positions are part of the VST settings.
I think I talked about it a bit in the video, but you'll never have the same amount of control with those settings, especially in terms of panning and individual processing of each mic. Not to mention you could do this technique with free or super cheap vsts, whereas the arturia stuff is $250
What I was wondering, if you layer three pianos, would you do panning on them? if so, what exactly? would love for you to get back to me! thanks!
yes absolutely! I pretty much always pan one left, one center, and one right, but there's no hard and fast rules to it. Although someone made a good comment which is that the higher notes of the piano are on the right side. So a cool way to possibly emulate that would be to have your brightest sounding piano on the right side.
Def heard the voice memo one aslo do the voice memo trick with samples play it into the mic to make it sound gritty
it's such a fun technique, and it's true you can adapt it for just about anything!
@@lucasfourniermusic are u in La?
Hey! is that "To Build A Home" by Cinematic orchestra that youre playing?
it's Je Te Laisserai Des Mots by Patrick Watson! Same singer :)
can u pls make videos related how to make advanced chords without actually playing them but making them in the midi roll of FL STUDIO (PS- ik music theory)
There's a tool for that in FL lol
