Our low flat rate of $200 per track includes time to render the midi data, record and deliver the audio files, and respond to any requests for changes. By the end, youll be armed with some really useful tips and tricks to create better, more human-sounding MIDI string parts. Only then is the piano recorded – via a world-class signal path - back into our workstation and pristine audio files produced for you to download and use in your mix. In this free course, well look at seldomly utilized MIDI controls in Ableton Live that can make a drastic difference in the expressiveness of your string sounds. (This process of optimizing the midi data for Disklavier playback is what we call ‘rendering’). And that doesn’t mean just adjusting the master volume and running the track! On each of our custom-made recordings, we take the time required to tailor the midi velocity values of individual notes where necessary to produce the best sounding piano performance first. We will playback your music on our impeccably maintained Yamaha Disklavier acoustic grand piano, pictured above, and then work our magic to make the instrument sing.
