Zacky The Pianist | Beautiful In White // I Lay My Love On You (By Westlife) (Piano Arrangement) @ZackyThePianist | Uploaded 8 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
Upgraded my piano sounds to The Grandeur by Native Instruments! You can expect more of these full version covers in the future!
Hello people! As you can see from the changes, I've changed my name on Youtube and other social medias to be "Zacky The Pianist". It will be my new alias from now on.
Next, I spent a whole 10 hours trying to figure out how to use a few software in order to get this recorded. A music editing software, Cubase. A VST hoster, Kontakt 5. And many other midi recording softwares. I was so pissed off by the tediousness of the whole thing. But luckily managed to record in the end :)
HOWEVER, the midi file was corrupted. I'm now afraid of recording with a midi-usb cable. And I'm only doing this because my piano isn't able to record midi internally for about 4 weeks till it gets repaired. And so, I had to spend hours trying to fix the midi, and eventually fixed MOST of it, by adding in sustain pedaling in the midi file where it got corrupted badly.
As you can hear from my cover, I've purchase The Grandeur from Native Instruments. The piano sound is crisp and suitable for the type of covers I'll be doing.
I made sheets for this song, but it is my first draft, and it doesn't include "Beautiful in White" in it. But if you're interested, download links below.
==================================
The two songs in my cover here are love songs from the 2000s. It is happy love songs which I find really beautiful, especially in their lyrics.
Straightforward arrangement. Nothing too special. But nevertheless a very fun song to play! Pretty easy to play as well :)

Im proud to present to you, ZackyAnimePianos first ever collaboration video, with 2 amazing musicians! Angel Beats! - My Soul Your Beats!
How about a piano BASS sound instead of the usual bass guitar? :p
LONG DESCRIPTION FTW
4 months ago YuKi came to me and asked if I wanted to collab with her. It was my first time but I was motivated and inspired by BaddyDans Ichiban no Takaramono cover to give my try on a collab. So I agreed. After my exams ended, I started arranging the piano part during early November.
There is not a lot of sheet music which is accurate to the original, so I made it my goal to make one so accurate that now I can confidently say that mine is probably the most accurate piano version on the internet now.
Arranging the piano part took weeks, even till the day I recorded, I still changed the arrangement a bit to make it more perfect than it was already. I listened to the original song on repeat for probably a thousand times before being able to get the arrangement so similar to original.
I was about to give up when Animenz told me that my arrangement was very accurate and said good job to me ;_; At that time, it wasnt very refined yet, and I knew I could not let him down, so I worked on it harder till it got to something I am quite satisfied with.
I was demoralised a lot when I heard how the Piano+vocals sounded like in our first draft cover. It wasnt very good. So I decided to make a drumtrack. After studying the drumtrack in the original, I decided to make something similar with my own style, without any drum knowledge at all.
Halfway as things seemed to be going smoothly, I realised YuKi couldnt audio mix and neither could I. I went to the first and probably only person I knew who could do this job well, Castlevaniapro93. He became a collab partner too and became the one in charge of playing the strings, which made this sound all the more awesome :D
After he mixed everything, I was surprised by how genuinely good it sounds even though it is only fanmade cover. I never expected the result to sound this good. This goes beyond what I had ever expected or planned, its almost like a full band cover already. Im very happy with it. A pity its only a TV size.

I want to specially thank BaddyDan89. He was the one who inspired me with his collab, then told me how to go about doing a collab (drums etc). He gave me good advice. He had been a great support when I got demoralized and faced setbacks along the way. Check out his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/user/BaddyDan89
Also, to VollTrottel, once again, this awesome artist friend of mine helped me to make the fancy ending art which I love so much. It makes this video look more professional :D Check out his channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheVolltrottel0
Also to those that listened to my drafts and supported me along the way, Thank you too ;_;
To Castlevaniapro93
Thank you for your help with audio mix, wait no, its no longer a help anymore, you are part of this whole thing and it wouldnt be possible without you :D I gained a lot of wisdom from talking to you :D jk :P But seriously, I learnt quite a handful bit from you on many things and also on what font to use to look fancy for the lyrics :) It was fun :P :D :D Oh and now I know what is Volltrottel in German LOL
To YuKi ゆき
Thanks for approaching me back then! I had no experience back then too ;_; But now I do :) Your voice was just perfect for this song :D My first ever collab partner, thank you for your amazing vocals :D It must had been fate that I chanced upon your channel the other day XD
Please check out their channels and support them!
