Afrojack Piano Stab

What is he doing to make the piano stab sound so strong? Starts around 35 seconds in: [url]Afrojack & Apster - ID (Original Mix) - YouTube



Also, how do you embed youtube vids? sorry for only posting the link:hehe:

Goto the Share button below the vid. Then select Embed button.

There you’ll be presented all kinds of options. I embedded it with the old code.



Concerning the piano, I think it’s all about selecting the right one. Layering it with something else. EQ the best out of it, compress and EQ again.



Tried that?

Massive reverb (prob lexicon large plate or similar) and some delay.



remember to sidechain the reverb tail so its dosnt wash over everything.

@Daniaan: No I haven’t tried that. But I will now:D

@Phil: Gotcha. Prolly an obvious questions. But I sidechain the reverb off the piano stabs, right?

From the very obvious pumping sound in the track, I’d say everything is sidechained to the kick rather heavily.



So the piano is sidechained, but also the reverb tail from the piano.

Just sounds like a piano with a really huge reverb on it.
