Pianoteq in Standalone has the awesome feature that it records automatically.
is that feature not available when I use Pianoteq in my DAW (Reaper)?
there is no File Edit Window Help toolbar, at the top of the Pianoteq GUI in Reaper.
so, I'm guessing its not available?
Yeah it's not available in plugin version.
ah ok.
thank you very much for your reply.
would you please tell me another thing?
can I use a Reverb plugin (for example 2CAudio Breeze), in Pianoteq Standalone?
I am guessing no.
No, Pianoteq standalone doesn't host plugins.
thank you very much again.
you are very kind.
You can however use reverbs in Reaper and send Pianoteq's output to it.
Yes, or if you have the Standard or Pro version of Pianoteq you can import IR files to standalone.

does anyone ever feel like Pianoteq sounds better in Standalone, than in their DAW?
Yes, or if you have the Standard or Pro version of Pianoteq you can import IR files to standalone.
thank you very much.
how do you like how that sounds compared to Pianoteq's reverb?
and would you please tell me how to do that?

If the sound pressue levels are not actually the same the perception of tonality will be markedly different. Read about the human hearing curve of equal loudness:

That will depend entirely on the quality of the IR files and the way you set the reverb and delay settings - coupled to the microphone positioning (if in Standard or Pro versions).
In Reaper it is easy to just add any convolution or algo reverbs to the plugin so I would do it that way. Reaper won't gobble up your CPU or memory resources and opens as fast as the standalone Pianoteq so...
I agree that it's certainly a lot easier to use a reverb plugin in Reaper rather than import an IR to Pianoteq standalone.
thank you very much, to both of you.
your replies are super helpful and super appreciated.

No.

No.

Agree with all the advice above.
Only adding, in case others find helpful, if you're hearing standalone as better, check your DAW's audio preferences. Some improvement may be a click away inside the DAW preferences - sample rates, buffer size mismatch etc.
thank you Qexl.
The smilies are intensifying! Your smilies are giving me smilies
Hoping you get it just the way you want chasmanian! Props for asking and keep trucking.
thank you Qexl.
you're very nice.
and I have enjoyed reading many of your posts.
you are very bright.
