Re: Youtube Demo

Good intention.  :-)

But forgive me, I need to say that I disaprpove recordings with camera instead of direct sound from file, since it often inhance any metallic effect and the final result do not make justice to pianoteq.

I remamber a video made with a bad speaker and a very bad cheap camera, that made pianoteq sound like a 80's synthesizer.

Re: Youtube Demo

A cheap camera hasn't made this real piano sound like a synth - it still sounds fantastic to me:

(ok, it's a bit out of tune, but a camera can't do that ;^)

Welcome to the forum! It's good that you posted that.

Nice moody improv, and it didn't sound tinny to me, just some hiss from your setup.

As Beto-Music said, direct recordings will sound cleaner and will represent the great sound of Pianoteq better. There are a few sites where you can upload WAV files or MP3's if you want to at some point, and I think you can even do that here, somewhere on the site.

Re: Youtube Demo

Well... the camera in this second video is recording the real thing, and not recording from speakers.

Even a well sampled piano library would sound somewhat artificial, if recorded from a non excellent speaker.  Something in the speakers tends to spoil things.

Re: Youtube Demo

Beto...thanks for your comment & listening...I will note that the recording is direct to the camera..that is thru my mixer...it does add a bit of hiss as Michael noted..this wasnt evident when I listened thru surround sound ..however it seems to be accentuated on Youtube.

Re: Youtube Demo

Hi Michael..thanks for your reply & comments ...now that I have converted the MIDI files to WAV ...I will see about uploading a few to the Pianoteq site...
Peace
