Topic: Yay!!! Found a beautiful mic sweet spot (Steingraeber Warm)
Hi all,
I have long been a fan of the PianoTEQ Steingraeber model. I love the celeste pedal's effect on this particular piano. There is a certain sound that I found in the 'warm' preset that I love. However, it was only really pronounced for a certain number of keys in the upper register.
But,
This evening I was tweaking the close mics of the warm preset and landed in an amazing sweet spot. Now, the particular sound that I really liked in those few upper notes has spread to every note. This really noticeable when depressing the celeste pedal.
During normal play (without celeste pedal) the sound is heard best when playing slow staccatos.
Also the whole register of the preset is much more even.
I have listen through beyerdynamic headphones and IEMs. Better with the latter.
I hope to post an .fxp and demo soon.
Warmest Regards,
Chris
P.s. all the best to every Pianoteq video contest participant!!!
Happy New Year
