How do I get higher recording quality for my Nord Piano 3?
this is the test recording I did

but when I compare to like these videos, they all sound way better




I'm using a UR22 interface with a TS patch cable I found lying around, I assume it is cheap and it's pretty short. this is a raw recording (OBS STUDIO) I haven't edited yet.

here is the recording that I did on audacity vocaroo.com/i/s0GgXoos4pSP
if there are any editing required like EQ, mastering stuff like that let me know and I'll send you the file so you can touch it up and send me how it should sound like after the editing

EDIT: this is another audacity recording but with 4.7 reverb hall vocaroo.com/i/s0Qi7I0yI5o1

First off, everyone else recorded in stereo. The Nord piano library definitely sounds much better in stereo. You'll want two TS cables instead of just one. Also make sure you have all the effects on the Nord turned off since some of them convert the stereo piano samples to mono.

Anderton's has access to all the top-quality gear, so they might have run the two TS outputs into a stereo Radial JDI and then from there to some nice preamps and then from there to a high-quality interface.

Finally, it sounds like Anderton's compressed the audio a bit, which makes it overall much louder sounding without clipping. Since the piano is a very dynamic instrument, it is very common to compress it a bit to make sure the quietest parts are audible.

The others might not have compressed but start with stereo recording and see if that sounds good enough to you.
