Thanks for your comment :)

Gerne

Great!

Thanks, it was really in depth this video - and you are right, I use a Kawai Hybrid piano, e200atx

Thanks for your comment! Welcome to the channel - the merriam music shoutout was so nice, because I know them for a long time and always enjoyed watching their videos. I use expensive headphones, Beyerdynamic T1, but I use them every day and the sound is great.

KH is still part of my life not only childhood ;) I think I just googled it and found it on scribd or some other weird site, it didn't take long

It's one of the most difficult decisions!! Right now I'm looking for a new piece to upload. I'm trying them on the Imperial. I am just hugged by this sound rn and i feel so happy :O Try the return policy, is my recommendation. Buy both and return one (only do this is you really CAN keep only one - i wasn't strong enough and kept all!)

@@PianoScoreVids hahaha thanks man... didn't know about the Return Policy, is the one with the limit of 14 days? Thanks!

Yes it is!

@@PianoScoreVids didn't know they had "no hassle" RP, thanks man!

@@ArgoBeats i tried it, it's really no hassle. You write an email i think and then you get an answer with refund, after you have deleted your license, done. It was super easy

Gern!

Hi, thanks for your comment. First of all, you're already very good with the Garritan, never forget that. I do believe VSL can be better in many cases but Garritan is, still, *very* good. VSL will not give you the craziest 3 levels above Garritan experience. Ok, so, first of all does it have to be a grand or would you also consider the Upright? Because the Upright can give some interesting character to Jazz pieces, notice the cool flavor you get with Blue Bossa in my recording. The next step, do you consider buying a full library or possibly a standard too? And then, I would actually pin the decision to exactly 2 pianos, buy them, try them out for 14 days, and return one. That seems really plausible in my eyes. I did something similar back then.

@@PianoScoreVids Thanks for your informative answer, you make good points. I only considered a full library, because with Garritan the ambient mic missing from the Lite version made a lot of difference: I'd expect something similar, perhaps in way of added character, from the second mics with VSL. If your demo only uses the standard lib. preset then I can save some money because it's way more than serviceable. The upright might indeed be the most interesting choice here since I already have a grand. I will take your advice and try out the upright and the new Bösendorfer. Thanks again!

Yes, that would be my recommendation. These 2 seem to be the best candidates indeed. Hope you find a good decision!

My favorite smiley

Deutsch, wie man wohl am akzent erkennt. Super, freut mich!

My piano is a Kawai e200 atx3 hybrid upright. It works well with vst's. I would get the full if you plan to play seriously and more than a couple of days in a month. If you just 'mess around', the the standard should suffice. But, as with the garritan, the room mics are a significant contribution to the realism and atmosphere of the sound.

@@PianoScoreVids Thanks again.

Distinctly different. I own both, I believe it’s the perfect combo of piano VSTs.

@@JPDC624 How so? I like the close mic "Player" mode on Garritan, not the more distant large hall yet popular "Classic". I also reduce the resonance for a dryer sound/

I have another, bigger problem (I also contacted support): my setup is Roland FP-90X that is connected to the computer with USB MIDI and the same USB cable carries back Digital Audio to FP-90X that plays the sound on its speakers (Roland DAC is used). I did not have problems with Pianoteq or Garritan CFX - they used Direct sound and Line (Roland) or Windows Audio (Exclusive Mode) Roland. Synchron can be setup with DirectSound Line (Roland Digital Piano) only. ASIO is not available for Roland. In this setup the delay between pressing a key and getting the sound is significant (regardless of Latency although 1024 is the best but still unacceptable). As I said before, Synchron setup is terrible! Garriton CFX has it own problem for me - I cannot reduce key return noise to zero. Pianoteq may not sound the best but at least it works and the installation (and size on the disk) make it the easiest VST to use (by a wide margin). I wrote all of this because I am wondering if you experienced any such installation issues.

You need to install the VST on C drive because that's where your DAW runs. You can install the sound files on any drive you like. H drive should not be your fastest drive. If your OS is running on a slow drive, you will get latency issues. Your OS, Windows will always be on C drive. It sounds like you need to install Windows on the drive called H drive and when you do that Windows will rename it to C drive. In disk manager they are listed by numbers. The letters can change. Installation of Windows on a new drive will wipe that drive clean, so you need to backup your files on H drive first.

@@Gardener7 Thank you. It was a year ago and I did figure it out

I think I can't help that much because I don't feel like it sounds synthetic as you say. The recording is good, it's good to hear how the original sounds. A lot of the sound is indeed by the microphone position as you also pointed out. The recording has a far more ambient sound than the player default in the VC. my guess is to only use Mid microphones and the room mics, and change the pannings a bit to arrive at the result from the video. It's interesting, I might also try to imitate that sound with my VC...
