Anyway, that's enough of me blaming the original recording I quite agree the piano sound isn't perfect by any means, I was just wary of making it worse by trying to get too surgical on it. Glad you enjoyed listening anyway, thanks again for the feedback.
I cannot agree more... reminds me of the 8 hours spent one Sunday last month trying to place (if I remember well) 9 microphones on a Yamaha C7 with poor results.
To be honest:
- I don't read much BEFORE mixing. I need to feel the mix going its own way. I just saw the setup picture on SOS. Mattresses and all the stuff.
- I looove clean. Cleaning up surgically is one of my fixations. That's why my comment.
cheers
