Topic: Piano sound in deadmau5 Creep from while (1 < 2)
I'm having a hard time getting Pianoteq (5/6), with any of the presets I have (Steinway D/Grotrian/K2), to sound the way the piano does in the song Creep by deadmau5, as it sounds as published on the album while (1 < 2). There are several variants of this song floating around online, but the sound on the album (from iTunes) is the one I'm trying to match. The piano in the recording has a certain deep lushness that I can't seem manage with pianoteq. I was under the impression that the piano used by deadmau5 for this was a Steinway D grand. I have tried doing EQ matching with Fabfilter Pro-Q2, and other plugin tweaking, but despite the extensive work the results fell somewhat short. Does anyone have any advice on how I might achieve this sound with pianoteq and audio plugins? I have posted a short (fair use) excerpt of the sound to my website http://zopyra.com/CreepClip.wav in case anyone is interested in helping.
