Topic: Emulating the sound of Garritan CFX Concert Grand

I'm so VERY HAPPY with upgrading to PRO today!

I just tried to emulate the CFX trough some tweaks on Bluthner and Grand YC5 using the 'Note Edit' feature. I exported using "High Quality Settings / 192Khz / 32bits". You can preview the two mp3 files below:

BLUTHNER

GRAND YC5

I think the YC5 approach the sound of CFX more than Bluthner, if I'm wrong please correct me.

Re: Emulating the sound of Garritan CFX Concert Grand

When playing, do you notice a difference in sound quality when using "internal processing" (options>performance tab) of say 48kHz vs 192kHz?

For each test, your "sample rate" (options>devices) should match the above rates, respectively. That is 48kHz in both tabs. Or 192kHz in both tabs.

I actually rendered the wav file as 192Khz then converted the mp3, but I think I lost the sampling rate... When I listen to the wav the sound of the piano is more better and warmer... but I think my emulations are still experimental... I need many hours of tweaking.
