Great piano and keys players have a particular way to achieve a bigger, focused sound. 

One that fills more space and adds tons of energy to the mix as a song builds up.

If you've ever listened to a worship song, you've definitely heard this trick in action.

But it's not as simple as everyone just playing louder to add intensity as a song builds.. and it would be a mistake to credit all that energy to just the drums or guitars.

In fact, when it comes to the studio, producers understand that the keyboard can make all the difference.

So what's the trick?

It's all explained in the video below, featuring our good friend Isaac Rodriguez.
