Sustain pedal during tracking ??
There might not be any hard rules about this, I don't know, but when you
generally track piano, is it advisable to use a sustain pedal ? Thanks! Daniel |

Anyway, yeah, sometimes you have to - I mean, if that's what the part calls for, then the player uses it. It's not like you can add it later if you don't do it while tracking (unless you're talking about a MIDI piano track, which you could - of course - retrack or manually add in the controller for that after you've tracked it, if you needed it.

The sustain pedal is a basic and required part of a piano, or an emulated piano. Having said that, many players over-use it. If you're producing, suggesting less use of sustain is often a good idea. Like suggesting a drummer tunes his kit properly. But, as you're basically saying "Learn to play your instrument better", don't be surprised if you get a negative response :-) Once you force an artistic change on a performer, all subsequent problems with the song automatically become YOUR FAULT.

You might want to explain why you're asking this question. If it's
MIDI of course you can add the sustain or correct it later. If you're micing a real piano, I can't imagine why you'd want it recorded without sustain as most players use it for expression quite regularly throughout a musical performance. Maybe you're doing something experimental - prepared piano or such? Shedding a little light on what you're doing would probably get you a better amswer IMHO. Just my 24. will |

Thanks very much to you guys for helping me out with good replies. Tho I
would like to mention and clarify that the only issue I had with asking this was if using the sustain would screw things up later in post-production such as with adding reverb etc ... and whether the use of the sustain pedal was different when it comes to tracking piano. All in all I had my question answered so thanks again! Daniel |

Lifting the sustain pedal is like lifting your left hand when playing
guitar; it mutes the strings, ending the sustain. It's part of the performance, done by second nature by the player without even really thinking about it. Reverb is what happens after the performance; the many echoes bouncing around the room or in the springs of your guitar amp's reverb unit. This can also be faked with digital reverb. Cheers, Rick. |
