			<description><![CDATA[<p>Feedback to ISONE (plugin):</p><p>Testet it. Sadly for me it&#039;s not working well. <br />Yes, it&#039;s necessary to configure it individually - you can find the roadmap in the manual. But in my case, partly I was not able to hear any difference changing for example head size or ear size - and therefor I was not able to find a working configuration.&nbsp; </p><p>In the end, the sound remained IN my head instead of, as expected, in front of me. </p><p>Of course I tested different mic-settings in PinanoTeq, tried with and without effects and reverbs, ... in combination with different setups of ISONE. Best result I got was a dolby surround-life feeling. Which is good. But then the sound loses quality (?) or at least bass and volume. </p><p>Maybe it&#039;s a question of headphone-model. In my case I use the B&amp;W P5.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>For headphone usage you really need to use the <a href="http://www.toneboosters.com/tb-isone/">TB-Isone</a> plugin.</p><p>This produced amazing realism for me using headphones, miles superior then the Binaural settings.</p><p>Ehudk made a post about it <a href="http://www.forum-pianoteq.com/viewtopic.php?id=2805">here</a> which got me on to it. The default (free) settings worked fine for me.</p><p>You can set it up on a Mac also using <a href="https://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/">Audio Hijack</a>.<br /><span class="postimg"><img src="http://www.grassgames.com/other/pianoteq/TB_isone_Pianoteq.jpg" alt="Pianotrq with Audio Hijack" title="Pianotrq with Audio Hijack"/></span><br />It helps to run Audio Hijack in lower latency mode (in the options).</p><p>It would be great if Pianoteq could internally do what TB-Isone does (it could go nicely into the Microphone setup screen) if they could figure out how it works.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>@dklein:</p><p>Hi!</p><p>Tested your setup which I copied after your screenshots. Thanks!</p><p>My opinion:<br />Binaural: your setup is much better than the standard configuration. Higher position sounds better. Simple and effective. <br />2 mics: this very simple setup sounds very good and in my ears a bit more realistic (and &#039;better&#039;) than the binaural one. </p><p>But as mentioned - I use a headphone. Which leads to the result that the music can be IN my head instead of in front of me (as it always should be with speakers). </p><p>I&#039;ll use the second setup as interim solution. Simple but good. Nothing better so far for me. Now experimenting with altering the angle between the mics: it makes a great difference when parallel, convergent (your setup) or even divergent (which sounds more like &#039;binaural&#039;).</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Much of my own pursuits as well.</p><p>Lots of this is very speaker position and orientation-dependent, as I have been learning.&nbsp; Check out a post of mine from earlier this morning:</p><p><a href="http://www.forum-pianoteq.com/viewtopic.php?id=4625">http://www.forum-pianoteq.com/viewtopic.php?id=4625</a></p><p>With respect to using the binaural setting, I agree that it&#039;s not ideal for driving speakers, but it&#039;s not too bad.&nbsp; The most realistic position that I found was what I would term a &quot;high binaural&quot; position, as if I was standing and leaning over the piano the way Elton John does (but it sounds as if I&#039;m sitting correctly).&nbsp; For my speaker positioning, I keep the width at about 30%.&nbsp; </p><p><a href="https://goo.gl/photos/1imM9x95x6awbUHy9">https://goo.gl/photos/1imM9x95x6awbUHy9</a></p><p>As for the microphone set-up, I like the Player one from the Model B, again using the 30% width.</p><p><a href="https://goo.gl/photos/zR5CgDcH5UrcuULF8">https://goo.gl/photos/zR5CgDcH5UrcuULF8</a></p><p>I&#039;m curious to hear what you hear,</p><p>- David</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi all!</p><p>Being able to fumble with microphones now (bought the upgrade from stage yesterday due to the 30% off), I&#039;m searching fo a very &#039;realistic&#039; setup for a PLAYERS PERSPECTIVE. <br />Simple to have the most possible realistic setup like sitting in front of a real piano. As you can save the setup and give it a name to reuse it on other piano-models or configurations, I try to produce the &#039;ok for me&#039;-MFXP-file. </p><p>Wishes:<br />- realistic 3d-position: piano on the right place and of course stereo (bass on the left ...)<br />- &#039;thick, fully &amp; rich&#039; volume (to compensate my lack in playability); I do not like &#039;thin&#039; volumes<br />- reverb? I do not know. Suggestions?</p><p>&#039;Binaural&#039; is not what seems to be very realistic for me. It does play more &#039;in&#039; my head than putting the piano in front of me. </p><p>I wonder if 2 mics on the position of the head of a player is any better than setups with 2 mics on the side or under the lid. Is there a strong point in having 3 ore more mics for achieving more realistic feeling? </p><p>Of course I played quite a time with the setups delivered with K2 and D4 to get a feeling. And of course I searched the forum, sadly without very much success. I&#039;m just a once at a week player an beginner, additionally without knowledge in mic-setup for recordings. So in my ears, changing the position of the mics is far more audible and has more impact than chosing another piano model , e.g. the Model B. </p><p>Suggestions, screenshots of setup or, better, MFXP-files are very welcome.</p>]]></description>
