Thanks so much for doing an Ableton video using an acoustic piano. Most of what I have been able to find is in reference to midi piano etc... Your video gives me hope that someday I'll actually understand everything you were talking about and be able to modify the sound of my piano 🎹 recordings. 😊

This is genuine gold. I’ve watched so many RU-vid videos about recording upright piano, but this one is the only one that really gets to the heart of it. Your process is clear as day and such a relief to come across.

Thanks for sharing these tips with your community. At which sample rate and bit depth are you recording? Which audio interface are you using?

@mattwildemusic 9 месяцев назад

Thanks! I’m using an Universal Audio Apollo (no Unison plugins for this recording) and recording 24 bit / 44100 sample rate 👍

@@mattwildemusic I switched from 44.1khz to 96 kHz and it was a game changer. Before it would sound muffled but now it’s clear.

Thank you so much for this! I’ve been composing my own peices recently and have really wanted to get them out to people. But, I can’t go to a recording studio or anything so I was kind of stuck. Then I realized I could just buy a relatively cheap microphone that will get me good enough results. When I went to search how to use the microphone, however, I could only find result for pianos that were wide and flat (forgot the names for those) but I have a tall piano. So, thank you thank you thank you for this wonderful video!

@danmyersmusic 2 месяца назад

Hi Matt - thanks for a great video. Can I ask - where did you get that mic boom? I have the same mic setup but that thing your using looks so practical and quick….

@sjmusiket 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! Absolutely superb video, information, playing, explanation. Literally awesome! I like all three techniques, probably I will try the first one with one mic, since I only have one, but play around with the felt as I like this idea very much. The processing info is so succint, love it. Would you have any suggestions for a basic process using Logic Pro or Garageband perchance?!

@mattwildemusic 7 месяцев назад

Hey, thanks for watching! I’m unfamiliar with Logic and GarageBand but my basic chain is Preamp > EQ > saturation > compression. You’ll be able to find plugins for all of those things on both DAWs I imagine. Have fun! 🎹

@bassinblue 7 месяцев назад

Just discovered your channel and really loving it man! I'm sure you're aware of this, but if you're after something specific and super characterful, I would suggest either Soundtoys (Decapitator/Tremolator/Echoboy) or even RC-20. Keep up the good work!

@XuLucas-wh9pt 3 месяца назад

Hi! I have a question. I am using Adobe Audition, and recording my piano in a big room using Behringer microphones. The sound was very light, not blurry, and the chords turned out to be really loud and hard. I wonder if there's any way to make the sound softer and pleasing

@luvr 4 месяца назад

Hey Matt, thanks for breaking all this down so simply! I'm currently looking at the Universal Audio SP-1s for my acoustic piano, these sound amazing, also slightly less 'hollow'. Do you think it's worth spending the extra money for the Soyuz 013 FET microphones?
