ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT.
With up to three years in the making, each instrument that is wheeled out of the Fazioli* shop in Sacile, Italy,
is truly a testament of ultimate dedication to craftsmanship and detail.
The F212, which was sampled for EZkeys 2,
is a medium-sized instrument that produces a slightly softer timbre compared to the larger concert grands.​

关于这个插件。
每一台从意大利萨奇莱的 Fazioli 工厂制作的钢琴都需要长达三年的制作时间,
这是对工艺和细节极致奉献的真正证明。
F212 是 EZkeys 2 采样的一款中等尺寸的乐器,
与更大的音乐会大钢琴相比,音色略微柔和。
Overall, it has a balanced and responsive tone as well as a dynamic range that can produce the entire scope of expressiveness,
from the thunderously punchy down to the feathery light.
This makes it an ideal instrument for broad songwriting and recording studio use.​

总体而言,它具有平衡而响应的音色,以及可以产生全部表现力的动态范围,
从雷鸣般的沉重到羽毛般的轻盈。
这使其成为作曲和录音室广泛使用的理想乐器。

THE MICS & THE ROOM.
The EZkeys 2 core library instrument was miked to offer a broad selection of options,
tones and ambiences for use across the different presets included.​

麦克风和录音室
EZkeys 2 采样库中的乐器采用了多麦克风录制,
以便在不同的预设中提供更多的选项、音色和氛围。
SPOT MICS.
Hammers. To capture the strike and impact of the tone,
a stereo pair of Thuresson* CM402s large diaphragm microphones were positioned right above the hammer mechanism.
This gives you a very natural and detailed representation of the inherent body of the instrument.​

琴锤拾音
琴锤拾音捕捉音色的打击和冲击感,
Toontrack 在琴锤的正上方放置了一对Thuresson CM402s 大膜麦克风。
这样可以为你提供非常自然和细节丰富的乐器音质。
Strings.
To capture the immense sustain and resonance of the piano,
a stereo pair of Royer* R-121 ribbon mics were placed above the strings.
This pair of mics produces a warm and ambient but slightly less pronounced attack compared to that of the hammers.​

琴弦拾音
为了捕捉钢琴的长音和共鸣,
Toontrack 在琴弦上方放置了一对 Royer R-121 铝带话筒。
相比于拾音琴锤的麦克风,这对麦克风带来了温暖的环境音色,但打击感则相对柔和了一些。
AMBIENCES
Piano player (overhead).
To capture the most natural tone you’d get if sitting at the piano,
a pair of DeGeer* Manibus large diaphragm tube microphones were positioned as if pointed over the shoulders of the player.
These microphones were picked for their extreme transparency and ability to capture the natural direct ambience of the piano.​

录音棚环境声场拾音
一组拾音点在钢琴演奏者头顶(Overhead)。
为了捕捉坐在钢琴旁最自然的音色,
Toontrack 将一对 DeGeer Manibus 大震膜电子管话筒放置在钢琴演奏者的肩膀上方。
选择这些麦克风是因为它们具有极高的透明度,能够拾取到钢琴自然和真实的音色。
Room ambience.
An AKG* C24 stereo large diaphragm tube microphone placed high up to the side of the piano captures the natural room reverberation.
This is a common microphone technique used when recording classical piano.​

房间氛围拾音
一组 AKG C24 立体声大震膜电子管话筒被放置在钢琴侧面的高处,用于捕捉自然的房间混响。
这是录制古典钢琴常用的麦克风摆位技术。
Window reflection ambience.
To capture a slightly more narrow frequency range as well as a more distant-sounding ambience,
a pair of Neumann* KM84 small diaphragm condenser microphones were placed facing the control room window,
picking up the diffusion bouncing back from the hard-surface glass.
This pair of mics adds a new dimension of depth when combined with the spot mics.​

窗户反射混响
为了捕捉到轻微的窄频率范围和更远的混响,
在控制室窗户前放置了一对 Neumann KM84 小震膜电容麦克风,
从玻璃反射回来的扩散声被拾取到。
这对麦克风与点麦克风结合使用可以为音频带来新的空间深度。

STEP IN TO THE STUDIO - A room made for piano.
Housed in a 150-year-old naval warehouse and beautifully situated right on the water at the inlet of the Stockholm river,
Riksmixningsverket (or RMV Studio, as it’s regularly called) is a proper gem of the studio scene in Sweden’s capital.
With rustic ceiling beams, both wood and stone wall surfaces as well as a soft hardwood floor that acts like a cushioning membrane,
the main room at RMV has a one-of-a-kind ambience that is vibrant but still retains the unfiltered essence of any acoustic instrument – particularly the piano.​

录音棚信息:为录制钢琴而生。
RMV录音棚(常被称为 RMV Studio)坐落在斯德哥尔摩河入口处的美丽水岸,
位于一个150年历史的海军仓库内,是瑞典首都录音棚中的一颗璀璨明珠。
RMV 的主录音室有着独一无二的空间,天花板上的原木梁、石墙和木墙面,以及柔软的硬木地板,就像一个缓冲膜,
使室内声音丰富而又不失钢琴等任何原声乐器的真实性。
