In Reply to: I have a question: why is it so difficult to record piano? posted by Joel_Waterman on March 10, 2007 at 16:06:34:
I've found that it's quite hard to mix a piano with other instruments in a multi-track scenario.If you surf the pro audio forums, it's a typical "newbie" question ("Help! My piano is drowned in the mix. What should I do?")
Often the advice is - compress or EQ. But this tends to make the piano sound "unnatural" (ever encountered a "bright" piano sound in a recording? :->)
I think part of the reason is that a piano has a wider "dynamic range" (level of ppp vs fff) than some other instruments.
In a live situation, most pianists would adjust their playing to blend in with the other instruments. The problem in a multi-track arises when the pianist records first and other instruments follow (which is typical).
PS - what is a "tsax"? :-)
