    Hey guys, would just like to know if anyone has any recommendations for kontakt pianos libraries with these two features. My goto piano used to be piano in blue V2, but it sounds horrible in mono (lots of phase cancellation issues). Cheers in advance.

    Don't know about libraries themselves recorded in mono but how about going into kontakt itself and reducing the stereo field itself to mono? Use the stereo widner and if not present insert it say at instrument level.
    Experiment with different positions and could give you some results. Also look into the mics used and maybe use certain positions if possible and reduce or turn of mics such as room etc
    Good luck :)

    If you like the sound of Bechstein Grands, the new Library from Bechstein Digital has been recorded in Mid/Side, so it would be perfectly mono compatible.

    Hi Kloud, ive tried that but it ends up sounding so flat :(

    Sounds like its definitely worth an investigation! Thanks for the response.
