I have a problem with a piano track which sounds good except it has too much ambience in the way it was sampled. It sounds decent by itself but it just doesn't sit well in the mix, it seems to get lost. It needs to be more up front.
Is this a hopeless situation, or is there a solution to bringing in a piano that seems far away in the mix.
Take away some frequencies from all the other instruments with your eq to create some space for the piano, then try raising the piano's level. Do this process in mono, after you have everything sitting right in mono, then pan it around.
Use a multiband (as Waves C4) but in Reverse Mode, so that the Attacks of the notes gets louder. (In C4 set the ranges to a possitive value. Match the Attack and Release times so that the start of the notes get rised. ) That should bring it back to the front.
