Thanks for the kind words and for the critique. I’m not a piano player so pointers are appreciated. Thanks for listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grem Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Well I noticed the same as everyone else about the piano. But the way you played it sounds good. Just a better piano sound would make it stand out much more. Guitar tone and playing was wonderful. Really nice work. Good song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABull Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Very nice sounds -- some hints of Santana's Caravanserai in this piece. ~~Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noynekker Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I thoroughly enjoyed this from first note to last ! Thank you for the journey. I’m not bothered by the piano vsti, as others have noted, the centrepiece is really the lush guitar tone and soulful playing . . . but such a great tune deserves the finest piano sound you have . . . maybe that was it ?

Douglas Kirby Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Very cool composition, and I also enjoyed the tone of the lead guitar. I agree with emeraldsoul about the piano - maybe try another vst tone if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it’s pretty much a consensus that the piano vst needs to be swapped out with another.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal favourite however is Moddart's Pianoteq Stage - which is a modelled instrument - but you'll never get consensus on which is best because it's such a subjective decision.

The vst I used in this song was TruePianos. Not being a piano player I originally thought they didn’t sound that bad. I’ve since picked up Ivory and like them a lot. I’m going to make the switch when I get the opportunity. I’ll have to check your favorite as well...thanks.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPAK Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Great back story to raise the appetite to listen to this ... wonderful clear sound overall and I for one just feel the piano bit, If mixed a with little compression and a tad of more reverb, would sound OK.... Just for the record though, Tom is most probably correct .... Great stuff and I enjoyed it immensely, so thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
