How to: 8 ways to make your piano stand out | Native Instruments

[@damienkook]

I would never have thought to implement any of those techniques. Thank you!

[@aquatonkme748]

Thank you for playing while talking and not just talking without a sound about what you're talking about. There are so many videos that just speak and show but zero sound, it's a waste of time for me, so thanks again for a proper DEMO

[@PianoScoreVids]

This is a great tutorial! How could i miss this after making almost 400 videos on my channel with the giant ...

[@FiddlingwithmyWhistle]

Wow, in 13 minutes I have learnt so much. Thank You.

[@OUTSS1]

Yea that render reverb technique was mad helpful never thought of it

[@aafinity396]

the giant FTW! still my favorite piano vst after all these years!

[@Sarcasshole]

It's not even a vst

[@petrus7977]

low end sounds weird tho

[@Driftuner]

Wow very nice tips here. Super useful thank you

[@MrGavin87]

Love @9:54 where you've done the saturation. You can really hear the difference. Great tips!

[@lastcall9998]

Reverb trick is AWESOME!

[@davidbluecame]

Wow, those are fantastic techniques and tips, thank you very much!!

[@markdavenport2613]

The rendered reverb tip is golden

[@peavynation]

These are some great tips! Good piano music as examples too, easy on the ears and to hear the effects take hold.

[@peavynation]

Yikes! :D

-5 semitones when pitching down for a perfect 5th, +7 when pitching up; get it together buddy haha . Dope reverb tips though, gave me an idea. Nothing but transposing the reverb from -12 to +12 but would a good way to transition into a pickup section.

[@RogerioValgode]

Excellent tips. Love this tutorial.

[@rabornjohnson]

Thanks for the great tips!

[@bonsaibloom]

This is really neat and useful, thanks for this!

Quick outline, sorry for no timestamps: 1. Layer two different pianos 2. Reverse the stereo panning of the piano recording/track 3. Play the piano low, then crank the gain to have a soft piano sit properly in the mix 4. Render the piano track reverb to audio and mess around with that track 5. Try the extremes of the plugin/FX controls in the context of the full mix 6. Apply slow, subtle effects to add shine/richness/movement 7. Use ghost reverb by using the reverb signal of duplicate tracks that are slightly different alongside the original track 8. Use amp simulator to give some subtle warmth

I have transferred my komplete 9 ultimate to a different computer and its missing some pianos that I can't find online. Upright piano, Vienna piano and Clavinet/pianet are all missing and the links that Native instruments has online to download them does not work. Is there a way to get those working?

[@spookybuk]

Great tips. Thank you!

[@lastcall9998]

Kick drums sounds so nice, I can feel it in my soul while not being too prominent (or at all). :P

[@gm0n3yz]

more gems please :)

[@vlogswithankitnayakvlogs]

Nice

[@MIxstarsOnline]

How did you print the reverb effect in Ableton?

[@chelseyjoymusic]

Yess!!! Thank you. I make piano music and use these instruments.

[@riktascale4]

How do you render your reverb??

[@CainaanDC]

Thanks NI

[@sakefchowdhury9668]

Do you have any tutorials on how to make a piano vst sound realistic in a solo instrumental track ? If yes please give me the link in the comments section . Looking forward for your reply :)

[@GGs-c1u]

what daw did you use for the humanizing feature? can I do it in ableton just as easily?

[@Norhther]

Which software is this? I mean the recording one, not kontakt.

[@artunucci]

Good complimentary tips, but the best way to get a good piano sound will always be actually learning how to play the piano.

[@matt.loupe.]

#7 sounds like what Coldplay did on Clocks

[@bornyhitch1975]

Dj james russel in the mix doing the trix that the others can't fix.

[@JimRussell440]

Boom son

[@animanoir]

Yo

[@sevchyk]

The truth is that this guy teaches how to mask the poor sounding quality samples with deceptive and blurry effects rather than show how to make vsti samples sound like real acoustic instruments, which is a gazillion times more important than the crap in this video.

[@AlexSage]

NI has the worst software support. When I finally got hold of them on their forum, they said that they found a solution to my problem, but didn't post it. Instead they said to contact them via ticket. And when I did they never answer...

[@robertmichalscheck3072]

Pretty standard for these big company’s,all their tech support sucks.

[@mason7031]
