The End is Near
I want to go to the next level with the piano instrument, but I'm torn between the VSL Yamaha/Steinway, path....or going Pianoteq altogether.
I currently am using the Grandeur which I do like....but it can only go so far.
I also have the EW Composer Cloud Plus so I have the Pianos Platinum. Unfortunately, they are probably the worst sampled pianos I've ever used or heard. The lower velocities are so muddy and flat which will ruin any transition that changes velocity.....making them basically unplayable IMO. I have tried adjusting every automation that exists in both Cubase and the Play 6 itself...These pianos just want to stay flat and muddy no matter what. With that said I'm not a EW hater....I love many of their products...
I like a bright colorful piano....nice relatively hard tone...but it has to sound like that both quiet or loud.
The playing realness of Pianoteq has me really considering it, but the sound of the new Steinway and Yamaha are bar none outstanding.....How are the VSL at really quiet velocities? Do they transition between notes as seamlessly as the demos suggest?
I also need either, to not give me headaches with Cubase 10 Elements.
I'm wide open to listening to suggestions and experience.
Thanks.
