Hi all! Say I have two pre-recorded instruments and want them to sound like one (two electric pianos is my actual case). What are the tricks of the trade you guys have for that purpose?

 

modify or fiter the pitches to match or be more similiar to each other. then attempt to form them into a more piano like waveform

A piano is a percussive stringed instrument, a felt hammer hits the strings. so a sudden attack and then tapering off would be the sound you are looking for.

put a piano sample in a daw
put your instruments in a different channel and modify it to be more similiar to the piano.

its much like an an artist putting a painting in a layer of photoshop
and then drawing over it in another layer.

except its ears, not eyes..

 

Thank you for the analogy! Off to work!

 

Also:

Do you guys know of any special technique for making one sound blend into another seamlessly? During a regular or special crossfade, you can hear 2 distinct sounds playing at once, one fading out and the other fading in. To make things easier, I mean here the same audio (not midi, though) melodic content.

 

Perhaps this might be useful to you:
