Originally, the piano is an acoustic string instrument that was invented in Italy somewhere around the 16th century. As for the rest of us, let’s find out what the piano actually is and how the sound is made before compressing it. So if you do not share our enthusiasm about general background knowledge, you might actually skip this part. Since we enjoy very much digging deeper into things, we recognize that it is not for everybody. Still and all the most essential thing to remember is that we all do it for the love of art, so do not let your passion become something mundane and routine. In some cases, you don’t want to use a compressor at all or use it in a parallel mode with a moderate mix down, in other cases, you want to use a transient shaper instead of the compressor, which will let you make some changes to the dynamic of the waveform without affecting its tonal content. If you have a percussive part, apply a fast attack and moderate release depending on the general flow, if you have a more fluid and intimate piano part, you might consider using slower attack times with slower release. Then, depending on what type of piano part you either apply compression or you don’t.
In this article, we hope to help you understand the best compression setting for piano that you should be using.īefore even applying the compression settings for piano, you need to prepare your tracks by aligning your phases and EQing the piano so it would find its rightful place in the mix and fit better with other instruments.
