anyone who has experience with both?

recommendation?

Thanks!

 

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 ..

 

Pianoteq, truly.

 

There is just Pianoteq .... The rest are, far far away , in another galaxy ...

 

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

 

I don't really like how Pianoteq sounds ...and I use it all the time! (oops )

 

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.

Why not both?

 

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

 

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?

 

The Inner Sanctum - How soon is now anything for self promotion

 

I didn't. Get the fuck out of here, that's trespassing!!!

 

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.

 

Tiresome. Stop. Please, all!
Nice to hear opinions about the plugins, thx!

 

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.
