TracingArcs 159 Posted April 25, 2020 Using more freebies from the Pianobook community. Time to wind down in theses stressful times (or at least until I download the new CWB update!) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emeraldsoul 1,074 Posted April 26, 2020 that was simple and beautiful and well mixed and, I liked it! The instruments felt very up front yet pretty mellow, which is a hard trick to pull off. Well done and thanks for lowering the blood pressure! cheers, -Tom 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjornpdx 588 Posted April 27, 2020 I like it. Very relaxing and uplifting too. That repeating bass line gets hypnotic after a while which is a good thing. Thought the piano had a bit too much reverb the 1st time I listened but nah, it's okay. The reverb adds to the mood of the piece quite well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeGBradford 455 Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) Interesting to that Christian from Spitfire is behind Pianobook. I really like his videos. Are all the samples there Kontakt based? - I don't have full Kontakt so wouldn't be able to take advantage of them if so. Having said that I have just got Total Sampletank Max which has enough sounds for me to be getting on with Edited April 27, 2020 by JoeGBradford 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracingArcs 159 Posted April 27, 2020 Thanks Bjorn. There is surprisingly little reverb on the piano sample. The sample itself has been recorded very close to the piano itself and so captures a large amount of body and resonanace. Gives it an intimate sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracingArcs 159 Posted April 27, 2020 Thanks Joe. The majority of the pianobook samples are Kontakt. Though there are some SFZ (and someone is looking into converting the Kontakt to SFZ). And some are EXS (Logic). I use the free TX16Wx that functions in CWB that will open EXS files in addition to Kontakt. You can still use the Pianobook instruments in the free Kontakt Player with the limitation of 15 mins before having to restart. Something I did for years until I could afford the full version. But you may know all this anyway, apologies if so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookiee 874 Posted April 27, 2020 I am with Bjorn on this that in the opening section it sounds like to much reverb and a little boxy. However it is a nicely composed and relaxing piece, thanks for sharing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
