    Garritan CFX vs. Noire. Does anyone have both?

    This is an excellent point. Monitor level makes an enormous difference in the performance. Totally tangential: One thing I've noticed on many sampled pianos is the middle octave or so around middle C is very hard to get sounding right. On a lot of libraries, there's this "hole" in the middle...

    Garritan CFX vs. Noire. Does anyone have both?

    I agree, some of the velocities in this track could be tweaked to give a more natural result. The thing is, I just replaced the existing Garritan CFX with Noire, and re-rendered the track (I think I actually did massage the velocities on a few notes) and came out with a pretty decent result. I'm...

    Garritan CFX vs. Noire. Does anyone have both?

    I have both Garritan CFX and Noire. For recording/mixing, I like Noire much more than Garritan, which I found hard to get to sit correctly in a mix. I just recently replaced the Garritan CFX piano with the Noire in a piece I recorded, and am very pleased with the result. The piano is much better...

    Classic EJ Piano Sound Test using AcousticSamples C7

    Hi Nick, Interesting... I thought Aphex came along mid-seventies, but I could be wrong. I have read that particular piano (a Bechstein, if I recall correctly) was a big draw for Trident Studios because it had "that" sound. Thanks for the info! -Gary

    Classic EJ Piano Sound Test using AcousticSamples C7

    I've been a lurker on this forum for a while. I've been searching for a piano VST with which I could emulate the classic Elton John piano sound. At last, I think I've come pretty close - at least much closer that I've been able to before. Here's a snippet from "Tiny Dancer" that I did using...

    Kontakt 5 Batch Re-Save taking *FOREVER* with Orchestra Essentials

    Hi all, I'm doing a batch resave with orchestra essentials, and every patch is taking 2+ minutes. There's very little disk activity and CPU is idle except when it goes to the next patch. So far, the patches all indicated save was OK. What could be taking so long? Thanks, Gary

    New Piano libraries on the way

    Maybe it's just me, but the Ravenscroft 275 has a "hollow" sound in the low middle octave (F below middle-C to F above middle-C), especially with the close mics, that detracts from what is otherwise a very nice piano sound. (There also seem to be a couple of slightly out-of-tune notes - the G...
