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...
If I had that kind of technique, I'm sure I could make any sound library sound good!
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...
Some Behringer products are much better than others. The Behringer UMC22 was first released in 2013 and it's still being sold. It's $39 brand...
I've just completed a project for a client - it's a collection of poems read by a male voiceover artist, which the client approved after...
ReFS is great for a backup drive where files are written once and rarely change. It's not great for heavy I/O. That's the simplest way to look...
I mixed hundreds of projects in the 90s and would have been blown away to have access to what's available today. To answer the question, we just...
Not sure why you chose to focus on that in replying to me. I don't care about the enclosure part. Others gave that advice. My advice was about...
