    Straight up, I roll withSpitfire Audio, because they gave away all of those Labs for free, then Christian with the PianoBook, that's why I shop with them, my wife surprised me at Christmas with something from Spitfire, funny thing I was doing R&B,became very bored with it, discovered Oliver's music and its so dope, and these sample libraries .Spitfire has changed my musical direction, I mean I'm a 55 year old African American, playing piano sine Iwas in 5th grade, you know my old ass looking for something else,lol, Oliver I know music, and Brother you have something special, oh by the way I use my free Labs more than any other library I have , besides London Contemporary Strings, and Olafurs Chamber Evo, thanks.

    I know I'm a philistine, but I don't get the felt piano thing at all. I just want the best sounding grand piano sound, not a muffled one with wooden impact artifacts. What I'm hoping for, is the Orchestral Grand Piano to be made into a stand alone instrument. I have no intention of buying Kontakt.

    I love the sound of the orchestral grand piano in the demo tracks. However there is no way I am buying Kontakt at £359 so I can use a £49 piano instrument. If it was made compatible with the free Kontakt player or made into a stand-alone instrument I'd be all over it on my very next payday. Why haven't either of those been done?

    I think the Hans Zimmer is the best pick to combine with a silent piano / grand piano. I want to play also in the evening when my kids are in bed. I want to have a "close as you can get" to a real piano. Sadly you need to have a powerful PC next to it to run VST's. Any tips for a compact alternative without much hassle to setup?

      @Justin.Franks 4 роки тому

      Hopefully you took advantage of the spring sale in May. Along with everything but the most recent releases, Chamber Strings was on sale for 40% off ($419). And if you already owned Symphonic Brass and Symphonic Woodwinds, you were able to get Chamber Strings for $355 by completing the Symphonic Orchestra Chamber Edition bundle like I did. But if you missed it, Spitfire runs major sales a few times a year.

    • @Justin.Franks
      @Justin.Franks 4 роки тому

      It was 40% off the regular price. In addition to the monthly single-product sales, and the "mini" sales like this one for pianos, Spitfire runs major sales a few times a year. It used to be a "wishlist" thing, where you added the products you wanted to your wishlist on the Spitfire website before the sale begins, and you got coupon codes for those products. But in the latest sale in May, they just did a site-wide 40% off, except for the newest releases. There were some special bundles too with even higher discounts, mainly Symphonic Strings, Symphonic Brass, Symphonic Woodwinds, Harp, and Orchestral Piano for just $898. I think that worked out to 60% off. I suspect they will continue with this type of sale, instead of the "wishlist" sale.

    Thanks for sharing your knowledge! God bless you! And please remember the following:
    For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
    Because God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world would be saved by him.
    He who believes in him is not condemned; but he who does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3: 16-18

    I have had Cubase since 9.5 and am now in 10.5.
    Today I did an experiment and bought Logic Pro X version 10.5. In Logic I loaded HZ Piano from Spitfire Audio and started playing. I immediately noticed that the sound wasn’t as clear or pronounced, kinda muted. I thought that I had done something wrong and checked my settings In Logic. Played again and still sounded muted.
    So I loaded Cubase at the same time with HZ Piano. Same exact settings, same levels, no plug ins other than the Piano patch through Kontakt 6. To my surprise there was a major difference! Cubase sounded clear, lush and powerful. But in Logic this $400 piano sounded like a $50 Piano.
    Can there really be that much of a difference between DAWs?! Has anyone else experienced this??

    • @MrFn65
      @MrFn65 3 роки тому

      I use Cubase 10 and latest 10.63 Logic and software au/ vst plugins sound the same to me. Now I do feel Cubase and Logic do sound different in general due to their internal coding. Cubase to me is very ‘clear’, Logic is ‘ full’
