MIDI To MAXI Diary: Week 1



I have started off with 4 layered Steinway pianos which are all separate, in the sense that each one of them is either panned to the left or right or they have different reverbs. I've done this so that the piano is spread across the track as it is the main aspect. I will have to look into different mic's so that i can decide which one would be perfect for the piano, I know it will be a condenser, but I will have to do more research into which one.
The Glacier pad is used to fill out the lower end of the track as the piano is playing quite high notes. It shares the same riff but is played an octave lower around the middle C and is playing single notes without it also playing an octave higher like the piano does.

The track currently has no drums on it because i wanted to mix the style of UK Trap with the 808's with some live recorded drums. whether or no they will work together, I would still like to experiment with the two which is why i have made it a target for my next step. Also you can see it is clipping on the mixer which is another point that i will look into once the drums have been recorded and mastered. Usually i would use a lot of reverb on my snares and drum pads, but if i record them live i may choose a Titan mic to record it with so that i can get a really get the sound of the room.
