I haven't seen the OP (cambi) comment since he first posted this, but in case you're still looking, I used the Behringer UMC404HD for quite a...
I've been playing with the Digital Sound Factory Kontakt libraries this afternoon and comparing them to the SF2 soundsets via sforzando. They...
Super Audio Cart 2 is a lot of fun, but finding the Proteus sounds? Just load up the Digital Sound Factory samples for Kontakt. They're not as...
I still own all of the various Proteus hardware, going back to the original, and I keep meaning to sell it as I haven't turned it on in ages....
It only took me a couple days of using Fender Studio Pro 8 to get used to the name change. I didn't love it at first, but I must admit, they...
I agree there's a lot of hyperbole in some of these comments. I have my preferences (ex., I feel inspired when I play Claire and Noire), but if I...
Sorry, but I really haven't used Pianoteq enough to compare versions.
Looping back to this thread after a couple of weeks away. I had voiced a preference for some sample-based piano libraries (Garritan, PianoVerse,...
Alright, I'll go there. Without too much detail, I've probably got the best setup you can have - a fully-weighted, 88-key MIDI 2.0 controller,...
I disagree, respectfully. I can't make a concert Bosendorfer sound as good as a concert pianist can, and that's not the Bosendorfer's fault. But...

As much as I want to love Pianoteq, I just can't get there. Objectively, it sounds fantastic, but something just isn't quite right to my ears....
Slate VSX really is fantastic. I reluctantly had to admit it to myself after fighting it for a long time. The environmental/speaker modeling is...
Damn, guys. I spent an hour last night playing SWAM Alto Sax and it blew me away. Took a bit to get used to using the expression pedal and the...
Whoever gets it will need to have some basic soldering skills. Converting the battery to a user-replaceable one is step one. They'll also need a...
Why don't you just use Kontakt 8?
I just gave these a quick test, and they're all usable - some are really good, in fact. For under $3, it's an easy purchase.
Slate VSX are now the only high end headphones I own or need. They're honestly that good, IMO. I don't consider these necessarily high-end, but...
I skimmed through the replies here. Seems most of the "high-end" speakers mentioned aren't that high end, which is fine by me. There's a big...
The SSL interfaces sure tested well. I wish he'd had the SSL12 in that shootout because the extra features at that price point combined with how...
