Topic: Venue Preset
After mostly using the Bechstein DG Recording 3 Preset just discovered and learned to appreciate the the Venue Preset.
First off, Im confused with the name "Venue". Im german and looked up the translation both for english and french, but what I found did not make much sense to me in regards to this preset... Can someone explain to me the naming?
Secondly, I just have to say, that I am so convinced about this preset. I play mostly classical and it seems to create the most realistic sound in many ways.
It is warm, with a realistic blooming effect, without loosing clarity and punch on fortissimos. Of course the reverb duration has to be lowered more or less, depending on the style (much less when playing Beethoven). And it sounds somewhat more spontanious/less perfected than the classical Recording 3 preset (which I like!).
Now I purchased the Stage to Standard 7 Upgrade. But I dont have much clue about sound recording/design and always found that any change I made on the mics made the sound worse. Can someone tell me what makes the venue preset so much different from Recording 3? It seemed to me, that it mostly comes down to the mic setup. And is there a good starting guide on how to approach this sound recording topic in regards to Pianoteq?
