Ahoy! This might be one for mastering as well, but I'll start here as it could be a simple recording setting that I've missed.
I'm having a bit of trouble recording an electric piano directly (i.e. using the headphone-out line) where it's coming out a bit muffled / muddy, and I'm wondering if anyone with a more attuned ear has come across something like this before or knows what direction to best take.
I've summarised it below - apologies for the YouTube compression. Basically Recording B is the problem. More than anything it seems to lack clarity. Recording A is there as a reference to what I used to be able to output on another machine - and the sound I'm roughly gunning for.
Specs: (Same on both machines)
I figure the remedy will be one of two things: Either a recording setting somewhere (fixing the input) or using some degree of equalising / mastering afterwards (Recording C was an attempt at this). Any thoughts on how best to proceed?
