    I started with True pianos and used it in many tracks - certainly has a nice sound.

    Once I got Pianoteq however, I never looked back. It is absolutely fantastic.

    Difference in price = difference in quality

    Both are valid, but Pianoteq has a lot parameters you can tweak, and a lot of other percussive / plucked intruments like bells, harpsichord, hand drums, harps, steel drums, electric pianos, etc.
    If I should choose, I would go for Pianoteq.

    pianoteq .. i bought it and never regret, but you will need a good keyboard controller and good sustain, or else it wont be maximized ..

    Hmm, that's pretty harsh, coming from someone with 4 warning points...

    There's a difference between being courageous and just being being rude, and you can tend towards the latter. You can disagree with a post without being derogatory about the poster.

    Insulting with no reason at all is being a toxic arsehole person, not a brave one.
    Take a nap or something man, or insult yourself at your house mirror.
    Edited: @Yuri beat me to it

    If I would encounter any stupidity with diplomacy, my life would be definitely too short for such educative conversations...

    That suits your behavior all right. A damaged crazy old man fighting against his own hallucinations where there's nothing to fight with in the first place. Nicely chosen :wink:

    I'm so naive. You've just broadened my horizons somewhat, and my potential defenses, and given me weapons.
    Thanks for letting me into the inner sanctum.
    Do I now need to drink some blood or something?

    :yes:
    Your words are of no avail to you. However veiled they may or may not be.
    I am now a new, fully-operational plectrum. Now armed with both the dark and the light.
    Able to weather all storms, even a storm of...vehicles. A piece of piss to me.
    And you only have yourself to blame. You created me. :bleh: :rofl:

    I just got off from an intense forum discussion over at VI-Control about piano libraries.... I could write a 10 page report on all the minutia why I've come to this conclusion, but in short...... NEITHER!!! If doing Pop go for UVI Ravenscroft (true staccato. & Can be as dry as you like it). if doing classical VSL Synchron Steinway or Yammy C7....... I play live music for a living & even though the UVI Ravenscroft is a fraction of the size & cost of other piano libraries, it meets any modern production need & covers all the bases. I also have the option of taking the room out when playing live (UVI nailed the close, tight zero room sound). Which if you've ever heard a piano sample library played live in a venue it usually sounds bad because you're hearing a recording of a piano in a room that's also being played in another room. That being said we still have a way to go with synthesized pianos. I would love to see Audio Modeling get involved with the creators of PianoTeq & see what they could cook up.
