The piano recorded at the MGM Scoring Stage has similar and different articulations. Click on that to select between mix presets.
#MUSEUM PUTTY FULL#
Higher ATTACK values will reduce the volume of the sound.Īt the top of the mixer, there's a pull-down menu labeled 01 Full Mix. Each mix allows for a left-right swap (LR), phase invert (Ø), a stereo widener (select either Haas or Mid/Side), left-right pan, reverb send (PRE- or POST-fader), and gain.Īlso included in the mixer is the REVERB type and return and an ATTACK setting to soften the attack of each note rendering a more cinematic sound. Close A, B, and C are different microphone pairs, each offering a unique texture.īelow each mix, you may advance or delay its sample playback +/- 100ms using a left-to-right slider.
The Full mix is a combination of Close C and the Room.
There are 5 mix perspectives: Full, Close A, Close B, Close C, and Room. Check other active mix perspectives to see if the EQ is active. Keep in mind - resetting the EQ on one mix perspective will not reset the EQ on the others. Choose the mix perspective, then adjust the gain and frequency for each band. Higher levels increase the difference between soft and loud samples.Īpply a 4-band EQ to each mix perspective separately. HAMMER VOL: Adjusts the volume of the key-hammer action.ĭYNAMIC RANGE: Lower levels increase the volume of softer samples. Click "Hard" for a more aggressive action. PEDAL VOL: Adjusts the volume of the piano's pedal mechanism. There are separate Instruments for each articulation as well. On the top-right is a pull-down menu of the various articulations. Though he mostly composes music now, we were able to get him down to the studio to lead this project. Renowned for his sensitivity and tone, Randy is one of the greatest film musicians of all time. We always spoke of recording a sample library of those sounds and more, and this year, we finally got around to it.
It was such a clever and unusual sound that we decided to build an extended piano solo completely out of Randy’s prepared piano techniques in the middle of the duet. During one of the breaks, Randy started playing with some museum putty inside the piano, giving the instrument a delicate, masked and suggestively underwater tone. Several years ago at a recording session at The Bridge, we were recording Nami’s Theme, a spacious piano duet between Randy Kerber (piano, Randy's Celeste), and Amy Tatum (flute).
