I cant seem to get the piano to cut through or hear the seperation with these instruments clearly.Piano is 4 tracks including hammers mixed down to two, Guitars are mono and doubled exactly.
Any recorded or mixed examples I need to hear that exemplifies this exercise? help and ideas appreciated.

One word...

Compression.

On the piano.

Also you could strap a compressor on a guitar mix buss and have the piano feed the side chain.

The piano will duck the guitars to cut through.
