A piano can be recorded in different ways. You can use microphones with a real piano. Or for an easier way, you can use a virtual piano or some kind of plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then you are free to mix it any way you like. And you can create a great-sounding piano mix. But how to make a piano recording sound better? How to widen the piano recording?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might find it difficult to create a piano mix that sounds wide and rich. And that’s one of the most important things when mixing piano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is a couple of ways and tricks to widen the piano track and it will sound huge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Ways To Make Piano Sound Wider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There might be unlimited ways to make the piano wider. But I have chosen my favorite methods for piano mixing. These piano mixing methods will work with real and virtual pianos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Use Multiple Microphones<\/h3>\n\n\n

The first method to make a wide piano sound is to use two or more microphones. Recording a piano with multiple mics allows you to create a custom sound. And it gives you options to make it as wide as you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approach could be different for each recording session. And you are not limited to how many microphones you use to record a piano. You can use two, three, or more mics and it’s better to use different types of mics such as dynamic and condenser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal is to place microphones in different positions relative to the piano. You want to have some direct sound but also capture the room sound. It will add natural reverb to the sound which naturally makes the sound wider and rich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when you start the mixing process you have many different options. Each mic will have a dedicated track. And you can pan some mics left and right, use room mics to add depth and width, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t done this before, read my piano recording guide.<\/p>\n\n\n
