Topic: What should I do next?

I have all the instruments in Pianoteq 8.2. I fell into a Steinway Model D tuning model rabbit hole. Assuming I can climb out, what instrument should I work on next? I've started presets in 8.2 for Anton, Digital grand, K2 and I've tried quick adjustments on several others. I am also really interested in those historical and other modern concert grands with a brightness and yet woodiness. What got me hooked on NY SD was how difficult it was to balance all the elements to reduce unwanted noises while maintaining liveliness including a balance of noises and tone that are fairly consistent across the keyboard. I loved that challenge. Maybe its time for something easier though, or maybe even harder. Please help me decide?

MOTU M2 using native ASIO driver, Windows 11, weird tweaks needed to make it work, but seems fine now.

Re: What should I do next?

Wah! What a great open-ended question

If you're taking radio listener requests there.. I'd like to set you a quest to layer 3 instruments. Making something un-real! or ethereal in nature... maybe like feature a historical piano, with a distant harpsichord plus a 'bowed' instrument with some long ping-pong delays in a vast space mixed in to generate atmospheric support.

That is pretty fun (infinite really) - and can give a good break from the singular focus per preset.. dealing with overlapping 'worlds' can unlock some creative juices - hope you enjoy! Cheers!
