Re: VIDEO - Seeking professional advice on piano recording

I'm not a pro, but piano is my primary instrument.

It sounded nice, but I think my ears heard you playing the same 3 notes in the left hand during most of the first minute. Also the notes were repeating a lot a good portion of the first minute. That's not horrible, but if you cut out all those excessive repeats you may end up with an even better piece. Long pieces don't always necesssarily mean better pieces.

Also, was it me or did it seem you lost control of keeping the two hands apart around the interval of 1:45 and 2:05? My ears aren't the best, so....

Also, what effect have you added to the video? It doesn't sound very acoustic to me.

But good job though! Excellent even! I can't do the same. Well, maybe I could, but it wouldn't sound very ordened like your piece (and most classical pieces) do(es).

Thanks I appreciate the feedback, it was basically recorded with a keyboard with a bit of reverb so I know it's not the best quality recording, it would be nice to record with a real piano, my main concern is whether it sounds out of time or amateurish or not in terms of performance, and yeah there are probably some technical mistakes there that I wouldn't know about as I am self taught, & it might be a bit long, not sure what you mean by keeping the hands apart but thanks for the feedback.
