I'm guessing that the 30 microphones are for the orchestral (finals) configuration, if I wasn't wrong it was much less for the 3 main stages

Do you have any details on the miking in the Chopin Competition?
It may help improve this preset, well maybe not fully since I'd still have to guess the mixing, but more or less get even more identical to the brodcast.

我曾經也試過dpa他們家的

Steinway for Chopin XIX
Probably what shocks me the most in this forum is the fact I haven't seen people discuss the pianos/recording technique from literally... any era of the Chopin Competittion. Maybe I haven't dug far enough or I'm still fairly new to pianoteq.
Back with better tweaks (it looks like my ears were the problem with my old presets which sounded horrid), I just did a little research on the mics used in the 19th Chopin competition. 2 Schoeps omnidirectional mics (guessing it's the MK2 capsule with CMC6 amp and RC1200 stand?) and 3 Omni's, where I chose the DPA 4006 mics as the best candidate to match the tone of the brodcast from the Chopin Institute.
As for EQ-ing, I did notice quite some boom in the bass from the brodcast, so I turned off proximity effect compensation and boosted the subbass to match even better. Slight adjustments in the middle to upper range, but nothing else too signifcant.
For the other adjustments, I cannot recall what else I've changed from the piano. I think that's enough explaining from me and it's time for some feedback. Enjoy.
