@bricelory9534 2 жыл бұрын
My personal favorite use of Claustrophobic is to narrow it's stereo field and then pair it with a brighter piano at a lower level that I push into a wide stereo field and gently flowing reverb - it ends up having this sense of being extremely close with Claustrophobic piano, but then a spacious brightness that fills the space, which for me leads to a really intimate, contemplative place. It takes a bit of mixing so it isn't obviously two pianos, but I find having most of the reverb tail being on a bright, low volume piano makes Claustrophobic shine all the more!

I totally agree with you. I've been saying for ages that the best instruments for making music are the ones you have, not the ones you wish you had. I have had folks wonder why I use an MT-32. It's because I have one, and still find it useful. Same with my music room speakers. I use 2 RCF 12's, supplemented by a couple of tweeters - again, because these are what I have.

I remember when I was About 15 Yrs old (1984) all I had was my first 2 track reel to reel . If we could’ve just looked into the future and glimpsed , the museum of Musical tech at our fingertips,…Today … I just have an I-pad pro ,Cubasis 3 , bought the fire wire and C adapter’ s for usb hook up ,…and instead of going with a smaller controller, I decided to buy like a plain Williams digital piano about 250. 300 bucks …that way I’ll have the weighted keys and real feel of a piano,…worked out nicely,.. love your videos great work producing them and all the work you must put into making them,..they’re very helpful and enjoyable to watch, I’ve taught myself & played piano and Guitar ever since back then, my biol/ father is a Jazz Pianist but split when I was 2 , but I owe a lot to my grandad who bought my first reel to reel for me ,..sending me on a dubbing spree,.. Wonderful sounding creation you’ve made Keep ‘em comin
