Orange - Your Lie in April (piano cover)

The 2nd ending song to the popular Shigatsu wa kimi no uso (Your Lie in April) anime. I admit I love the unapologetic sentimentality here, and had this on loop for a month while I was learning this arrangement.
This song is about saying goodbye to those you love.
On a side note, when I first started this channel, I thought I'd only be doing anime covers, but my interests evolved, and these are now few and far between...
Adapted and slightly modified from James Chou's arrangement.
Original artist: 7!! (Seven Oops)
Piano: Kawai Novus NV-10
Piano VST: Garritan CFX Full
My current CFX settings: forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthread...

[@peaceseaker6777]

This is that best version of this song so far ....

[@thunderpat-piano6005]

I agree.

Using Garritan CFX to play this beauty of a song is the best thing that a digital pianist could do. Claps claps! Encore! (tears falling down my eyes)

[@paulcwyuen]

There's no reason a piano music lover not loving this anime, which is the masterpiece in my opinion. 👍💖🈵

[@jeremyngpiano]

Wow, surprised to hear an anime one from you! Sounds amazing as usual. You're still a massive inspiration for me.

[@RichardYangPiano]

Sooooo smooth! Learning this now.

[@VinLudens]

Impeccable! James Chou's arrangement is by far my favourite and you made some neat modifications

[@Cutenoob8]

This was insane!! Subscribed and looking forward from more piano covers, especially your lie in april if you got any more planned

[@ajiedr489]

I look forward to your uploadin' every single day. I can't wait to hear your new play. We don't sell NV-10s in *Korea* . I've never heard of it. While watchin' your viedo, But I'm satisfied. I don't know where you live , Plz keep in mind COVID-19. Your performance is very emotional. It's delicate and sophisticated. Especially your interpretation of this part 05:36 is fascinatin'. I'm a *big* *fan* ~♥ㅋ _4월은 너의 거짓말_

[@Leuvre]

Well played and great sound! Did you do anything to get rid of the noise? Did you use eq? I'm having a lot of noise, especially when I want higher volume by normalizing or compressing my recordings.

[@rach3master]

I've seen some users say they have issues with noise, but I've never had that issue. Maybe a better audio interface would help? I only use Audacity to amplify the sound.

[@Leuvre]

@@rach3master Thanks for your reply. Yeah, I was thinking about trying out other Audio interfaces. I can't think of any other reason why there's so much difference between people's recordings. Which audio interface do you use?

[@EllySpace]

Sounds wonderful. Great cover and you play very well. Liked. I make music, too.

[@terrywu509]

Wonderful, sounds great. ❤ 🎉So hybrid piano is with original string vibration and processed with digital software option of sounds effects?

[@acoppini2]

Beautiful. Thank you for posting. I see you play both the Kawai NV10 and the Yamaha N1X. Do you have a preference?

[@ralphrestubog5519]

He probably prefers the Kawai since he mentioned once that he sold the AvantGrand.

[@markobarancic7362]

very nice playing, do you think that the action on a N1 is heavier than on the nv10, cause i play my N1 and think it should be lighter

[@rach3master]

Thanks. Yes the action on the N1 is heavier than the Novus for sure. I had an N1 and I switched to the Novus only because the action felt better to me.

[@user-rx9wz6cg5c]

❤いいね

[@Pianoman1488]

Very nice. Are you able to run the VST through the internal speakers? Were you able to do that with the Yamaha N1 as well? Thanks!

[@rach3master]

No, I've only ever run it through headphones.

[@Pianoman1488]

@@rach3master Thanks for the reply. Is that to say it's not possible to run through the internal speakers, or just that you yourself have not tested it? I am looking into getting either a NU1x or N1x and would love to get your opinion.

[@rach3master]

@@Pianoman1488 I believe it's possible, but I've never tried it.

[@leventekoszegi9495]

Very great performance! Can you tell me the type of your piano? I'm interested in buying one so I could continue my piano journey

[@rach3master]

It's a Kawai Novus NV-10 hybrid digital piano with very good action. IMO the best one on the market today. I've replaced the internal sounds with piano library software.

[@spiritsavage]

@@rach3master How did you replace the on-board sound with CFX? I'd like to do this.

[@studiosnch]

@@spiritsavage rach3master connected the Novus to his computer via USB or MIDI, making the piano basically a MIDI controller. The piano sound came from the Garritan CFX virtual instrument.

[@matthewadams5960]

really well done❤️ is there sheet music for this??

very nice cover. btw could you some day make a video about how do you use your garritan vst and how do you record? it will be really helpful (for me at least). cheers, keep it up!!

[@lisahou5545]

Can you compare Yamaha N1 and Kawai NV-10?! I'm thinking about buying a digital piano for playing classical pieces because I'm living in an apartment. Thank you so much!

[@rach3master]

Kawai NV-10 has a better action but is probably a little more expensive. I don't compare sounds because I replace them with digital software.

[@robinfrenzy]

I've had an N2 for a few years now and I tested the NV-10 this week at a store. I think the actions are similar (I would need to play for hours to really be sure). I was somewhat disappointed with the sound though, especially with the headphones which I use a lot on my N2. Despite all the piano sounds on it, not a single one convinced me. It's somehow lacking realism (spacially), it could be the binaural recordings on the Yamaha that make it so good.
