Making a piano sound harder or softer

By adjusting the release or brilliance, you can make a piano sound sit better

in your mix, or make it more responsive to your playing.

Although this is not directly related to making the sound harder or softer, deep reverb will tend to make

the sound softer and less defined. When you want a crisp-sounding piano for rock or jazz, you’ll probably

want to reduce the reverb.

With a short release time, the sound will abruptly stop when you take your finger off the key, producing a

harder and sharper impression. Conversely, longer release settings will produce a softer impression.

You’ll need to make detailed adjustments in order to get a natural sound, but this is an important aspect

of making a sound that’s ideally playable for you.

Tip 1: Adjust the reverb (Reverb)

Tip 2:

Adjust the decay after the key is released (Release)

(Example) Considerations when adjusting the release

You probably don’t want to set a very long release time for a piano. However, if you feel that

the sound is not crisp enough—or too crisp—for your particular performing situation,

adjusting the release slightly can sometimes make the sound feel better.
