Nice comparison. Is it the room or micing that creates part of the difference that we hear? Did you use a default Pianoteq preset for this, or was this recorded with an fxp?
That's what I'd like to know too. Really nice idea to make such a comparison.
Uhaauhnnn... That was awesome...
Maybe in near future pianoteq became really better than any real piano, reaching someting, some sound no piano manufacturer ever got.
May I request a comparison, in the same style, with Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 ?

It seems to be good
Hello Kridlatec and others,
Your recognition that, sometimes just good ears are needed, was exactly spot on. Often times, it comes down to sensing what to tweak -- rather than simply tweaking everything -- that can make or break a good-sounding Pianoteq preset.

Amazing story, Joe! I am glad, you are here with PT community
Pianoteq still not good, comparison-threads and similar
I think a lot of people are in fact quite good at tweaking Pianoteq. We all know that it is about personal taste, and that is why music and life are so interesting - share and learn. And, in my opinion, we dont have to wait for the future to see Ptq get some sound piano manufacturers have not got. We are already there! In the future. With so many features, Ptq, the fourth generation piano(the first gen of pianos started 1698 as manual says), can already produce what piano manufacturers can not. I think we can do anything we set out to accomplish with Ptq, if we try enough, if we doubt, we can not. And, I have said it before - this ”soundarea” is of course, something that will never be completed, and that is the way it has to be – continued improvement. So, reading and learning from many threads in this forum – I think a lot of people are quite good at tweaking Pianoteq. Maybe someone soon can start a new thread, named to ”Now many are good at tweaking Ptq”. Waiting for it. And – thank you all for these interesting discussions. I am reading every day(sorry if some mistakes in english, still writing with dictionary).
Best regards
The first one is 'private'...

Sorry, now it's public
Thank you kalessin !
Another great comparison ...
May I suggest to add the links, in youtube vídeo pages, on each vídeo to the correpondent one about the comparison. This would allow people see by themselves how good pianoteq become.
Keep going with such comparisons. I believe it helps as very good publicity for pianoteq.
Many people still believe pianoteq it's like the artificial metalic tone of first versions. They need to see that the child have grown up.
Just my two cents ....

Thank you Beto-Music
I don't know if the Pianoteq developers read my posts but I really can do comparisons
where one just can't say if it's about the Pianoteq D4 or a real Steinway
Unfortunately I've just the Std Demo version ....

Fantastic! Thank you. It was an appropriate comparison, because I just wrote here above in this thread that we can do anything we set out to accomplish with Ptq if we try enough. My goal to strive for is to be able to play that ”Friends”very well someday, too.
I think, maybe it is not always so much about tweaking Ptq – it is about being a good pianist. And last but not least – it seems to me, that a good pianist can get Ptq sound fantastic with very little tweaking. And that lead me back to D4 and Bluthner - of course it depends on what you want to achieve - but, they are very good as they are. Even one of my music friends, who have a recording studio in Teneriffa and have produced commercial recordings 15 years, got interested in ptq, when I sent him some songs. He had not heard of Ptq before.
Best Regards

Here is a small example for Hungarian Rhapsody n.2 played with Pianoteq 5:
