The Cinematic mix is a very intimate and muted sound, perfect for cinematic textures. It is a very specific mix and thus the only available mix in this patch. The Classical mix isВ a slightly more distant mix employing a different combination of microphones and designed for concert realism. The separate close, room, and surround microphone mixes are available on this patch.

This isВ a standard representation of the grand piano on the scoring stage employing the M49s and the room array. The four unique characters are derived from these various microphones and the mixing process that followed.' In addition to the standard room array, Adam placed several other close microphone pairs to provide options for other characters. Also as on PIB, I placed a pair of small capsule condenser microphones near the tail of the piano. The M49s were powered by a pair of Neve 1073 pre amps to imitate the Neve 8078 console that recorded PIB. 'The recording for Piano In Blue worked so well, I returned to the vintage Neumann M49 microphone pair and its position that I used on PIB. Our goal was to record a detailed piano library at the same scoring stage as our flagship CineSymphony libraries for seamless integration and to provide four distinct characters of the piano through a variety of microphone and mixing techniques. How do we follow an act like Piano In Blue? We record a stunning 9' grand piano at the MGM Scoring Stage at Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles.
