My friend is producing a single for me, and one of the tracks uses mostly synthetic instruments through Garageband. We recorded the piano in "Piano On Stage", but listening back, this sounds way too electric. Normally I record with a Technics KN-550 – which has about the best piano sound of any keyboard I’ve ever played. Does anyone have any suggestions of a great, authentic piano sound for Garageband?
