    Hi, Thanks for sharing it. However in my Cubase Artist 11 the 4k video that plays even in my Windows media player will freeze on the video player screen in Cubase (F8 key shortcut) . That makes Cubase completely useless for the purpose of editing videos. I have a powerful PC, 2 xeon 6-cores (12 logical cores) 32 GB RAM and NVIDIA 510 video card. As a musician, I can record audio alright, but as a trucker trying to upload his work Cubase is not the right tool, as it seems. I will not buy Nuendo just to upload day-job videos. Shame!

    I'm using the BBCSO Piano Pro. I can't get a clear answer no matter how hard I try Googling, so I'm just asking you a question. Is it normal for the sound to be tilted to the left when playing using the microphones of Mix1 and Mix2 in the default setting? Even though the pan value is in the center, when it is Mix1 and Mix2, it is much louder in the left speaker, so I have a little question about how to set the pan value for a solo piano song to hear the sound in the center. Please tell me it's not a problem with my speaker or DAW...

    I have a suspicion that what you're seeing there is that it has to double the offset of the note, too, and not just the length. The logical preset seems to be taking the time from the MIDI clip start rather than the selection start, so if you double something at bar 2, it will end up at bar 4.

  • @thenewgamers7382
    @thenewgamers7382 11 місяців тому

    I could hear the white noise in both A and B but it was more noticeable in B. But my guess was right overall. Is there anyway to essentially get rid of the white noise? I own a cloudlifter but can hear the white noise when monitoring not recording. It's bothersome cause I don't know if it was my headphones or what. So I bought another pair and it wasn't. So I think the white noise is coming from the interfaces output rather than the input. So that was the problem. But I only bought a $100 interface but it works like a dream, almost as good as your interface. Thank you for sharing this cause I'm looking another interface to record music with rather than to use for recording like podcast. Do you have any recommendations?

    Hi Alvin, wonderful video. I have a question - I own the core BBCSO and use it for mainly writing orchestral music. I also do movie score and trailers, meditation music, classical song with orchestra, all home based stuff. I am now using the Universal audio Ravel piano which is probably more used for pop music...For what i do would it be more logic to buy the core version over the pro? I have asked if the Pro version would work with the core orchestra I have but haven't received an answer yet. What are your thoughts? Would the core version be the best choice in my case? Love to hear...

    • @AlvinSWongMusic
      @AlvinSWongMusic Рік тому

      Hi Josh, Yes you can technically have the pro version of piano but only have the core version for the rest of the BBC SO. I have that exact setup. The only difference between core and pro are the 15 mic and mix signals with pro vs the 1 for core. If you find you often want to tweak then maybe worth it. For most who just want the sound to sit nicely in the room with the rest of BBC SO I would say Core is enough. Thanks for stopping by and the feedback and question!

    • @joshrainbow-IceTenor
      @joshrainbow-IceTenor Рік тому

      @@AlvinSWongMusic thanks Alvin for the fast reply, really appreciate it. So if I understand correctly, I can purchase the pro version and it’ll work in my BBCSO Core version. The instruments of my core version will appear in the piano menu! - the discount is already awesome for spitfire members. I will watch your video again and the pro video and make a choice. Thanks so much for the fast reply :-)

    • @AlvinSWongMusic
      @AlvinSWongMusic Рік тому

      @joshrainbow-IceTenor I was provided both Core and the Pro versions of the Piano to review and I had only owned Core. What it would look like is your BBCSO plugin will default to Pro and only show the piano. And then to use the rest of Core instruments you can switch up top with the version drop-down list to choose Core if you want the rest of the core instruments. Hope that helps. Each instance of the plug-in can run in either version.

    • @joshrainbow-IceTenor
      @joshrainbow-IceTenor Рік тому

      @@AlvinSWongMusic Good morning Alvin, clear, thank you :-) - When the piano plug in opens in Pro but I change it to Core does the CPU change to what the core version would use, or does the CPU stay Pro version when open it in Core? I presume that when I change it to core the core version piano shows am I correct?

    • @AlvinSWongMusic
      @AlvinSWongMusic Рік тому

      @joshrainbow-IceTenor changing to core will change piano to core for that plug-in instance. If you want pro you can open a separate plugin instance/track. It won’t affect the core version in the other track.

  • @louisrmusic
    @louisrmusic Рік тому

    Had Core at 66€ because I already own the orchestra. I think most people won’t need all the mics so Core is a great starting point. The base price is the same as XLN Studio Grand and sounds much better, even though it only has a single mix. XLN really lacks the dynamics and sounds either over-processed/artificial or too dry in comparison. The BBC piano sounds like we are listening to a live performance sitting in front of it.

    • @AlvinSWongMusic

    Triton Fethead Broadcast with Focusrite 8i6 and SM 7B; right choice? Hey, I use a Focusrite 8i6 with an SM 7B and added an inline Preamp - the Triton Fethead Broadcast. Is it the best option? I didn't notice very much boost and can't tell you if it add any db. Setup: SM7B - 1m XLR - Fethead Broadcast - 3m XLR - Focusrite with Phantom-Power ON. Is it the wrong Fethead?

    • @AlvinSWongMusic
      @AlvinSWongMusic Рік тому

      I am not familiar with the Fethead Broadcast. Just the Fethead Phantom. The benefit with the phantom is you can plug it directly into the sm7b and skip that extra patch cable. I think boosting right at the source at the mic before all that length of cabling to avoid picking up and amplifying any noise along the way is best. Yes I turn on the phantom power and good to go. Big difference in amount of gain vs without. Something must be wrong if you can’t tell.
