I have never played a keyboard but bought a Casio CTK 3500 at the start of lockdown. I have been learning (slow process!) just from online videos. I am using a Zoom R8. I like the sound of the bass notes recorded but the treble sounds like a child's plastic keyboard. The tune I am learning is Pink Floyd's Great Gig in the Sky and ideally the sound I would like is a grand piano in a large hall. The keyboard sounds fine using it's own speakers or headphones.
I am using quite a lot of reverb (nothing else knowingly unless Mr Casio is adding it) but should I be not be using reverb on the keyboard at all and adding it later with Audacity which is all I have. The Zoom did come with a version of Cubase but my brain is scrambled enough with all the chord changes without opening another can of worms at the moment!
So, my question is should I be switching off reverb? Or is there something else I should be doing to improve the treble? I would like to keep to the direct connection to the R8 rather than the mics because of room noises.
I have a clip of what I mean but I'm not allowed to post it yet.
