Hymn voicing

That was beautiful.
I haven't explored couplers yet but I could see from that one recording they give a fuller sound without overpowering the tune.

On the eve of Good Friday I don't have a lot of spare time to experiment but I will as soon as my duties at Church are over for this Easter.

If you do have more examples that would be lovely.

Thank you for your kindness. I shall study your registration tonight.

Stig's advice is always excellent.

I'd also add that OTQ is quite muddy by default for use within a church as the reverb gets quite intense.  Depending on the size of the space, you may wish to significantly dial down the reverb of any of the default organs (most of the OTQ organs appear to be designed to match an audience listening position--so the reverb includes the resonance of the organ loft, the early reflections/area around the case, and then the long tail of the rest of the space--all you need is enough resonance for the organ loft and maybe just a little extra if the church you're in is on the smaller side).

There are also ways to increase "clarity" and "presence" by altering EQ parameters, the stereo positioning and other settings of each division, and individual stop settings like brightness.

It's a little tricky to guess what exactly the space needs without hearing it or knowing more specifics of your system/setup (e.g. speaker placement/design and room size).

I wonder if Modartt will release presets that are better designed for better out-of-the-box use in medium to large churches--or maybe even microphone placement presets that work independently of the stock presets like in PTQ--or something similar that would allow easy swapping between the stoplists of different organs while maintaining more consistent general settings.  This seems to come up more and more regularly.

I also find that changing registration throughout a hymn does more for OTQ realism than "parking" on a single stop set for the duration; that does more than which stops are being used in my experience.  Either using the crescendo shoe or the combination system does wonders...

1) If you have a piece as an mp.3.  upload it to Shared files and copy it from there and put it in as a new post in Recordings featuring Pianoteq and Organteq.Easy!

2) You have a Mac so download the free daw Garageband and record your pieces there and export them as mp.3 (or wave) I'm using wave when I drag my piece into iMovie when making a video. I always use Garageband when I record my music and if you have a very difficult piece , beginner, you can record one hand on track 1 and other hand on track two, in slow tempo,  and then playback in normal tempo both and export to mp.3.

When getting used to Garageband, everything goes very fast. GB is the little brother to Logic Pro for more professional use. As they say: "GarageBand is designed to be easy to use by someone with no recording experience. Click, tap, drag, boom... you have a song. Then you can output that song (or individual tracks) to different formats depending on what you want to do with it".

If you are going to record much with Organteq/Pianoteq I recommend Garageband. There are other recording tools too, people should go with what they like.

Good Luck!

Best wishes,

Stig
