Virtual Studio at Your Fingertips
Grand pianos are large and hard to record well. A specific microphone in one area of the piano may work for a jazz mix but not for a Romantic classical solo. A real piano in the studio offers many mic and placement options. True Keys provides three fully mixable mic setups and a 'best of' mix of all mics as separate samples. Each mic setup is chosen for its versatility and character to suit any playing style. The Close mics have a punchy modern sound with a wide stereo image and deep bass. The Player mic gives the pianist's perspective with more distance and strong hammer attack. The Side mic is a stereo ribbon with a warmer tone and full even response. The Mix position combines all mics for a quick and less processor - intensive option.
