King Kayle Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I made a thing In case you're not acquainted. The original can be found here: There is no existing midi for this in case you were wondering, i really did do this all by ear, freehand. A weekend well spent.

timaeus222 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Pretty obviously mechanical-sounding, and the sound quality could be better. Some notes are muddy as well at about 1:20. Try to get a better sample, and try to play it in with a MIDI keyboard or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a Youtube user called threelines3 who does the same thing. Even though their songs sound obviously processed they're still enjoyable to listen to. I don't think mechanical should be synonymous with faulty and I feel very strongly about this, mechanical is a style. Those notes are pretty muddy though .__.

I don't think I've ever heard of a purposefully mechanical-sounding piano. It's not technically wrong, but the Judges would reject the mix on that for sure.

For something that is strictly a piano arrangement though, definitely go more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, it's fine in non-solo-piano arrangements or arrangements with the piano relatively non-exposed. Still good to have some reverb to mask the mechanical sound, just to be safe.
