Tailoring your sound
While the technique above is a great starting point, sometimes you may want to further tailor your sound to get closer to what’s in your head. And while it’s important to understand that the most important sonic factor is the sound of the piano itself (and how it’s played), there are some easy ways you can adjust the timbre of your recordings.
One trick is to move your microphone (Spire Studio in this case) to fine-tune the balance of lower and upper strings on the piano. By moving Spire Studio left towards the lower register, its balance will shift towards low notes, and moving it towards the higher register will do the opposite. Depending on what you’re playing, this can make the difference in balancing your sound.
Another, although perhaps the obvious trick is to vary the distance of your Spire Studio from the piano. The closer it is, the tighter and more articulated the sound will be (with less room reverberation), and the further it is, the more the sound of the room will be present. Although for most purposes you’ll probably find that a closer sound will be appropriate—if you’re room doesn't sound excellent then you may find the distanced recordings sound more like a voice memo!

Try Spire Studio’s recording effects
If you want to give the piano you’re recording a different feel entirely, try reaching for Spire Studio’s recording effects. Under the “Spaces” category, there is a variety of different reverbs that can bring the sound of your piano into an entirely different room. And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can even use some of Spire Studio’s other effects to create some pretty crazy and unconventional sounds for your piano.
The latest version of iZotope’s premier audio repair application, RX7, introduced a number of new modules offering useful and often cutting-edge processing options—the new Music Rebalance module is a good example of the latter. Music Rebalance is capable of isolating three audio stems in a full mix—drums/percussion, bass, and vocal—leaving everything else in the mix as a fourth stem.
Audio separation has been around for a while now, but it remains a work in progress. It’s still not possible to completely separate all the tracks or stems in a finished stereo mix file, and tracks and stems that are extracted are often accompanied by noticeable audio artifacts—a telltale “watery” sound consisting of bits of the surrounding audio that couldn’t be fully isolated from the desired signal. The flip side of extracting individual tracks or stems is the ability to remove a particular part from a finished stereo mix, and this is also sometimes possible, but again, often with a certain amount of artifact, in the form of a ghostly trace of the removed part.
iZotope’s Music Rebalance module can do a surprisingly good job of both extracting and removing parts at times, keeping in mind that—with all implementations of this technology—success is heavily dependent on the particular stereo mix audio file.

But what Music Rebalance consistently does extremely well—with clean, fully natural-sounding results—is allow the user to remix the available stems, which is in fact is its intended purpose.
Here’s an example—a mix where the drums are a bit too loud and the vocal is slightly buried at times, and a little rebalancing is needed—a typical scenario for mastering engineers.
If a mastering engineer came across this file and wanted to try to fix these imbalances, he traditionally might turn to tricks like M-S processing, which can provide some degree of isolation between the center and sides of a stereo mix. But in this situation, both the drums and vocal are centered in the mix, so an M-S solution isn’t really in the cards.
But RX7‘s Music Rebalance module is perfectly suited to the task. It’s very simple to operate—the sliders adjust the level of each stem, all the way down to 0 for removal. The Sensitivity controls let you dial up a tradeoff between the isolation of a particular stem and the amount of artifact that may be heard; they really only need to be used for more aggressive level changes—for subtle level adjustments the default setting (5) usually seems to work best.
For this example, modest changes in level are all that’s needed to get the vocal and drums to sit in the mix in better balance.

Oct 06, 2015 Firstly, you will need a BPM analyzer program that does all the timing calculations for you. There is an alternative method to detect tempo for songs in most digital audio workstations. If FL Studio is your DAW of choice, watch my short video below to learn how to analyze a song for its tempo inside of FL Studio without using any external software! Fl studio analyzing bpm.
And for the majority of applications, that’s all it takes. Of course, more ambitious users will undoubtedly want to play around with more extreme separations, and that may take a bit more trial and error, especially with the Sensitivity controls. But at its stated purpose, Music Rebalance is capable of production-quality tweaks to just about any mix with the kind of subtle balance issues that so often show up in mastering sessions, saving a time-wasting round trip to the mixer and back.
