Echo Sound Works ? X Grand Piano (KONTAKT)
LINK ===== https://tlniurl.com/2t85Bk
The concept of X Keys is simple. Take key instruments and turn them into hybrid sounds that are perfect for you, the modern producer or beatmaker. We selected over 50 instruments, including the Upright piano, Grand Pianos, old electric keyboards, Kalimbas, rare piano instruments, Bell Tone Pianos, Organs, Vintage Synths and much more, and re-synthesized these samples back to Serum and ANA2.
Another easy-to-recognize but difficult-to-diagnose problem is when keys fail to sound a note. This is almost always a string or hammer issue, but diagnosing this problem can be difficult because other issues could also cause it, which is why a professional piano technician is so vital. Moreover, the repairs involve working with the metal mechanisms inside, which can bring with it additional problems.
Famous players all had their own signature sound. This was achieved by tedious manual adjustments of forks, hammers and pickups. Whether you are looking to emulate a particular sound or simply find your own, you have direct access to all piano components.
Whether it is through the use of strange effect combinations or setting the piano parameters to extreme values, Lounge Lizard can really become a wild beast. It retains the playability of a keyboard instrument but sounds beyond anything you have heard from an electric piano before.
The electric piano has marked the history or rock and jazz. The factory library showcases many presets designed around effects typically with pianos and reproducing the distinctive sound of classic tracks.
And while some pianos may come with decent reverbs, if you're trying to mix your piano with other instruments, you want them to all sound like they're playing in the same room. So you'll want to be sure to use a common reverb on everything.
Then you want to look for mudiness. If your piano isn't sounding very clean and clear, try cutting around 300 hz with a fairly wide-band EQ. If the piano is sounding a little thin and lacking in body, then consider a boost from between 100Hz and 200Hz.
If you've got an upright piano, the general piano EQ tips will get you most of the way there. However, uprights tend to have less low end and sound a tad brighter. If you really want to lean into that bright, biting tone, you may consider a boost around 2-4kHz. Sometimes a few decibels of a low shelf boost from around 150Hz can help add some weight to the upright piano, too.
I've found incredible results using Valahlla DSP's Room reverb on piano. The quality and the price of this reverb - $50 - is mind blowing. It comes with a ton of great presets, and is super intuitive. I use it for both the plate and the room/hall sounds on piano.
If your looking for a more intimate, pop friendly sound, then I'd say that Arturia's Rev PLATE-140 is the go to choice. The reverb is modeled after the classic EMT plate reverb which has been used on as the reverb on just about every rock and pop piano. No joke. It's easily one of the best reverbs for piano. And vocals. And leads. Here are our favorite reverb plugins.
Well, on a piano, the bass notes are on the left and the treble are on the right (from the player's perspective). To create an especially lush piano sound, you can duplicate the piano part, but flip the stereo image so that the bass is now on the right and the treble is on the left. This will make the piano sound especially full and intimate.
Ultimately, your job is to make the composition as a whole sound great - remember, you're not just mixing piano, you're mixing music. If the mix calls for a small piano, then don't overload it with effects. But if the piano is the star, then consider how you can make it shine.
Be sure to careful think about what's going on with the low frequencies - sometimes they can really over take a mix if not well accounted for. Also, grand pianos seem to do great with reverb, the bigger the better. Don't hesitate to start with longer settings.
When it comes to mixing piano and vocals, the vocals are almost always going to be the featured instrument. Every singer is going to have a different range. But once you figure out which frequencies of your singer sound the best, consider using an EQ on the piano to remove a few dB at that frequency range.
When adding reverb to a piano with vocals, you can also be more aggressive. Reverbs act to make instruments sound more distant, so a touch more reverb can really get the piano out of the way and allow the vocals to shine.
Of course, this is really just a starting reference. Every song is going to be different and call for unique approaches to make it sound its best. Hopefully these techniques will help you quickly bring your piano sounds to life, then you can apply your own talents and tastes to really customizing your sound! 2b1af7f3a8
