Topic: What to do before purchasing Pianoteq for the first time
Hi everyone,
I am seriously considering purchasing Pianoteq 8 stage and would like to pick people's brains beforehand.
Does anyone have any advice to give me prior to purchasing? Is stage even worth purchasing or am I going to be displeased and need to stump up the money for an upgrade to standard? What's the most affordable way to make my purchase? I've heard of the JRR shop, I've read around here that people may sell their licenses (How often does that option come around?).
I have been listening to the examples provided in the 'Listen' section of the website to try to determine which 2 I want to register first. I reckon Steinway D is a safe bet due to its popularity. I'm into romantic classical, so for my 2nd I was thinking of the Ant Petrof. If anyone wants to chime in with their thoughts, there are no wrong answers. I'm genuinely interested to hear what people think.
I am an amateur, played piano as a kid but stopped in my rebellious teens. Now, more than 20 years later I'm keen to dabble on the weekends.
