[Minifuse 2 + YDP-145 + P120] How to make voice and piano (VST3i) sound in the same space? I tested playing and singing Dear Prudence, by The Beatles

Hey guys,

Recently I bought an Arturia Minifuse 2 audio interface, and it came with a VST3i piano sound that I found very good and dynamic (present in Analog Lab V), so I decided to control this VST3i sound with my Yamaha YDP-145 digital piano. I liked the result, but I feel that when I add my voice (with my AKG P120 condenser microphone) it seems like the piano is in one space and my voice is in another; it's as if the reverb doesn't affect both tracks in the same way.

I'm using Reaper, and I applied the reverb that also came with the Minifuse 2 (Rev PLATE-140) to the master channel, but even so, I feel that the reverb affects my voice more than the piano. I recorded the video below to illustrate.

Dear Prudence, a quick test

Does anyone here have any tips on how to make these two tracks sound in the same space? Could the problem be the VST3i piano sound? I even thought about buying Keyscape, but it's very expensive. Maybe I'll buy it someday if I really want to invest money in the musical aspect of my life, but for now, I would like to see what I can do with the VST3i sound that came with the Minifuse 2.

Cheers!
