Possibly OT (since this has nothing to do with the use of an additional space designer):

Your recording here, using the K1 piano, also brings out the sound of the instrument very well:

But without the extra room designer?

Did you play this directly into your sound card while using headphones? Were you using a default setting or did you make edits?

In this video I used the K1 solo rec with a changed velocitycurve and reverb and limiter off (When I did this I used the play version).

I had the same space designer reverbs on both videos but I see that I send more to the reverb buses in the bluesimpro... (maybe it was to much....).

I recorded the midi in logic pro 8 and the video in iMovie at the same time on the same computer (iMac 27") and then synced the sound and video in logic...

I've searched before, and there seem to be an overwhelming number, along with many convolution samples. Seems as though it could take weeks to just download the programs and experiment. (And although I like many things about macs, I don't want to buy an entirely new system just for a reverb program, if possible.)

hmmmm - sounds interesting - will give it a try - thanx for the link!

I've found interesting to use the impulses from this page as a first step to give resonance to the anechoic sound of PT when you bypass the reverb and you need a very close sound. I like the damp version the most (the shorter one) but it's simple to shorten the tail in space designer if you prefer the no damper version. I know, it comes from an upright soundboard but it works
Then I apply the ambience I like/need using a second space designer.

PS you have to scroll down to the page

I actually used a medium outdoor space called 1.9s Venue Sizzling....

Yes that sounds nice!! Thank You!

Gilles, thanx.. must confess that I know the name Poulenc but don't know any work of his'.... which obviously says more about me than him
will google a bit on him - thanx...

Poulenc has a lot of more virtuosic piano pieces but listen to this one and see if you hear resemblances. Same light and cheerful sound. That's a compliment, by the way

First time I hear it myself! It almost sounds like a development part for your piece when played in succession...

Jake, I think they took the reverb from some outdoor concert space...
It still has a 1.9seconds reverb tail in the IR, so by no means anechoic...
and there is an absolute difference in sound when just switching PT's reverb off and play or switch SoundDesigner on over PT when PT's reverb is off...

Btw - have you ever been outdoor somewhere yourself and thought it sounded anechoic??? There is always reflectance from somewhere...

Hello Creart,

I especially enjoy how "live" your piano sounds with Space Designer.  In the past, I have been guilty of adding so much reverb that the listener is almost painfully aware that reverb has been added.  Not so with your recording!  Congratulations.

Cheers,

Joe

Yes I agree (unfortunately even with the stuff of using to much....) so, what Space Designer reverb do you use here?
