mixing stereo recorded Pianos

Hi Michael,
Thanks a lot for sharing your tips with us!
I'd like to discuss a problem that I came to many times:
I get a song to mix with a grand piano playing with a band, the problem is that the piano was recorded with spaced miking which make it way to wide for the mix but in the moment i try to narrow it collapse and sound muddy (phase problems). do you have any tip for mixing a piano like this?
thanks,

I have a few suggestions.( I'm assumimg you already tried hitting the phase switch without any success)
1-If it's playing within a band and not the focus, just use one side that sounds best in the mix and EQ it, to make up for the low or high side.
2-The other thought is to purchase the partial reverse phase box from little labs. Instead of having a limited choice of in phase or 180°, you can dial in the amount. It's also great for bass when you have a direct and amp to combine.
3-Try a variation of my disco piano sound mentioned in an other post. The combination of compression and mid eq's might bring the "in Phase" sonics out to the front.
