Nice instrumental that showcases your playing and the power of BiaB.

Enjoyed it!

J&B

OK FWIW

"Question: Is there a setting in BiaB to force the piano up an octave to be more bright? As-is it sounds a tad dull/hidden to me."

I know you raised it but I will mention that on EVERY RT or MST piano track we used a preset called Piano Man (with minor adjustments) from Waves CLAUnplugged. It's an amazing fx for $29 especially for use on acoustic guitars and keys.

Another option is one of the many available imager fx that will widen the stereo spectrum. We use the one in Logic Pro and it can hugely enhance the sound of a piano.

Also, it's hard to imagine a DAW for which panning does not work given that panning is an absolutely essential part of mixing and thus any DAW. Surely some users of it could help you.
