I want to record some of my solo piano pieces with the U4 as professionally as possible. I have switched off the internal reverb and use the valhalla room for this. Now my question to you. Would you put an extra EQ on the reverb? If so, what frequency curve do you recommend?
Hi,
Yes I would use EQ for reverb. I have the Valhalla stuff as well. I would recommend rolling off at least 200hz with a low pass filter. That way it will take away a lot of the muddiness away from the reverb, as reverbs tend to be quite muddy at the lower end and should keep the piano still sounding crisp and clear. The rest is dependable on how you want to approach the EQ creatively.
Try the Abbey Road trick.
Plenty of descriptions of which online. Here is the first one I just found on Google:

That helps me a lot. Thank you.
