The vintage microphones used were hand picked from the studios impressive collection. The end result is a warm and vibrant sound that goes from intimate to larger-than-life.

The studio is famous for being extremely quiet and for having a controlled acoustic ambience for such a large room the reverberation still sounds tight and airy which is a rare combination and the perfect condition for recording a grand piano. Studio Grand was recorded in a large recording studio at the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation. By offering the exact recording setup in Addictive Keys and the option of mixing and matching microphones, Studio Grand is sure to fit nicely into any production style. We found that fitting a grand piano in a mix can be hard and often results in a compromise of the sound quality in order to make it fit with the other instruments and vocals. We approached Studio Grand with production in mind. More than ten Steinway Grand Pianos were auditioned before finding the one with the most desirable character: a crystal clear and open timbre with a perfectly balanced resonance. At 8' 11 3/4" (274cm) in length, this majestic instrument is the overwhelming choice of the world's greatest pianists.
