Piano & Recording info
Pianos:
All tracks here have been recorded using pianos either custom-built by DAP or new and prepared by DAP. All tuning, voicing, and regulation done by David Andersen.
Recording Equipment:
All tracks recorded in 24bit 88k using MXL & Octavia condenser microphones, Mackie 1604 mixer using built-in preamps.
As opposed to embedding the audio into the website, all of the tracks here are streaming through a high-quality MP3 Player. This means that the whole song doesn’t have to be loaded for it to start playing, so the load time is quick, AND—very important for sound fidelity—the file size is much larger. All of our tracks are in MPEG Layer 3 format, sampled at 128kbps with as little compression as possible. Track size is 8 to 12 megabytes each.
