Excellent all around!! I agree with Budo the piano prominence sounded perfect and I wouldn't have even thought about it had you not called it out. I tried to get a piano sounding good in my modest jazz mixes with guitar and struggled to get it sounding right in the mix, perhaps I will have to grab this preset you mentioned as I do have the Bluethner. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! The Preset is archived under Pianoteq 4 dated 14 march 2014 by user "njaremko". Sorry, I technically couldn't share it any other way. It works perfectly on any newer PT version. Hope you have fun with it...
]]>I'm modestly proud to share this recording with you guys. There are plenty of versions of "No Diggity" out there, here is another one and its style/genre might pass under the term "JazzPopFunk"
Ever since the realease of Herbie Hancock's 2005 album "Possibilities" I heavily fell in love with that masterful Serious-Jazz-Piano-in-Pop-Context-Sound. Now after years of working and trying I'm still light-years away but this is very likely the closest I'll ever get to it.
I used PT7 with a preset called "Bluethner_Model_One_AB_(fazioli_rescaled)" that someone shared here in the forum a few years ago (has been my favourite preset since). The controller is a Roland RD-800.
For mainstream ears the piano might be a bit to prominent in the mix but this is a piano forum after all...
Hope you like it (Piano-Solo from 2:25).
Cheers
