Hi, my question is about the right pedal level.
I have not a great experience with acoustic piano (1 hour every 2 weeks with my teachers Bechtein), so I am curious to ask if it is normal to hear the noise of the right pedal so hard?
I guess you can hear pedal noise on all acoustic pianos. Some are more noisy, some are less. Just adjust it to your liking in Pianoteq. I decreased it little bit as default value seems little too noisy for me.
And you shouldn't forget that most PTQ settings are not supposed to sound "as a real piano would sound when you play it / when you listen to it closely " (except for certain settings, like "xxxx binatural", "xxxx player", which should reproduce a close listener's or the pianist's point of hearing, or "xxxx Living Room", "xxxx in a Hall", "xxxx Club", which are supposed to recreate the effect of a live performance in different environments), but "as a piano would sound on a professional recording" - which, incidentally, is the way we are mostly accustomed to listen to a piano, so much that it may sound perfectly "natural" to most of us (myself included).
And, in professional recordings as much as in Pianoteq, different factors, such as the positioning of the mikes, or the post-production and the mixing, can intervene, so that the volume of every sound - included hammer / pedal / let off noises - is actually more a matter of aesthetic choice than one of physical reality.
For example, on this - lovely - recording of Grieg's Piano Works ( http://open.spotify.com/album/449pmz7vtl6ujZf4D5Vwxo ) one can distinctly hear the "pedal" noise, as one would in a "D4 Classical Recording BA" performance.
So, I agree to jarosujo, feel free to adjust the noise to your liking (and think of using a "player" setting - or a player-based FXP - if you want PTQ to sound more like "the real thing") !
