Kainé カイネ | Nier Gestalt & Replicant Piano Collection | 凱寧主題曲 | 尼爾人工生命 Composer: Keiichi Okabe Arranger: Keigo Hoashi (MONACA) Hi there! It has been 6 months since my last recording for the NieR series. I sight-read 'Kainé' before I departed to Taiwan for my short break, and the melody has been swirling in my mind since then. I guess this is the kind of piece that will easily ring a bell once you have listened to it. If you are interested, do check out the original performance:    • カイネ/救済   As I find the tempo indicated on the original score a little bit too slow to my liking, I'm playing it base on my perception of the work, and how I perceive it after playing the game. This time, I spent quite a while experimenting with different recording settings and mixing. I would say it is always better to listen with headphone, if possible. You may have a broader feeling as I tried panning the left and right mono tracks to the maximum for the first time. Do let me know if you prefer this setting! Speaking of which, doing a recording has never been so challenging as there's ongoing construction work near the studio during the daytime, so I was only left with nighttime before 10pm (before my neighbors lodge a complaint). And this condition will probably persist for another few months... Nevertheless, I hope you will enjoy my rendition :) 我從台灣回來啦 :D 行前視譜了Kainé，從玩遊戲開始就一直覺得這是首洗腦神曲，聽一次就不會再忘記。 希望大家喜歡這次的演奏，也可以留言讓我知道還喜歡尼爾系列的哪首曲子喔。 Special thanks to sunabovetheblue, Po-tung Chen, Phil Schwan, 鳳凰院凶真, Vic Jang, Tim, Alex Vega, KelticLago and 铁猛男 for your generous support to my production! :) ---------------------------- Production Setup: Piano: Yamaha YUS5 SH2 Microphones: Soyuz FET 013 pair mics Audio Interface: Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen Headphone: Neumann NDH 20 Laptop: Macbook Pro (M2 Pro chip) DAW: Logic Pro X Video Editting: Final Cut Pro Tablet for sheet music: Windows Surface Pro 7 ---------------------------- Find me on: Instagram:   / xiaotongpiano   Facebook:   / xiaotongpiano   Twitter:   / xiaotongpiano   Enquiries and collaboration: xiaotongchin@gmail.com ---------------------------- Support me by Buying me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/xiaotongpiano PayPal me: https://paypal.me/xiaotongpiano #nierreplicant #kaine #尼爾人工生命 #凱寧 #studymusic #relaxmusic #therapeuticmusic #animemusic #videogamemusic #femalepianist #Singaporepianist #yamahaYUS5 #soyuzmicrophones
