How Are These Plugins FREE???

[@PraiseTracks]

A familiar face indeed! ;^) So wonderful to see Dore's pianos featured as they are indeed so beautiful and playable. The synergy that has been the result of Pianobook (and now Audio Incubator) is inspirational and palpable with things only continue to go upward from here! Well, done everyone!

[@BeepBoopAudio]

Thanks for the shoutout! It is magical to hear all the instruments come together to create a single composition. This is the true beauty of the Pianobook community. I get so much joy hearing what others make with my creations.

[@danielcatron1979]

That Always Sunny drop slayed!

[@greateralexander]

Got a new fan. Love the dry humor my man.

[@enlimila]

Such talented people to create these beautiful instruments! Thank you Christian for keeping it alive.

[@coolcitymusicUS]

So, so happy that you are back Christian! Just got COVID for the first time, so I feel your pain. I too am on the mend and looking forward to 2025!

[@seanfourie7]

Christian ,I have followed you since you first started posting on you tube ,you are a legend .

[@abhishekrao6017]

💯 agreed same here

[@erekhronmusic]

honestly love your promoting other devs and musicians with these unique but awesome stuff. thanks for the reccos! That Austrian Concert piano is really delicate

[@joegrint6280]

Sorry you have been ill and glad you are feeling much better! Happy New Year when it comes! Looking forward to exploring these instruments

[@abhishekrao6017]

That folk Library is just absolutely incredible even while hearing it i had goosebumps for some reason because it sounded so good and at home and i forgot the sampler but i loved his , don mark experience and all the others samplers doing an absolutely lovely work 💖

[@RyanWeeks000]

I'm blown away by these libraries, it's gonna take some time to dig into all of them! Looking forward to a new year of audio ink! Hopefully we can see some octopus related merch, I love a good octopus. Happy new year!

[@Jarrix]

amazing video as always, much respect how much work you puit into crow hill, pianobook made it possible for me to have amazing instruments for free which was just amazing for starting, so happy to see it now being morphed into audio incubator and building a giant new possiblity

[@chasvox2]

This is just terrific! Added these to my kit. My cue "boss" in L.A. will love what these bring to the cues I intend to write with what these lads have done......

[@samecoff2788]

Thanks for the shout out! Hope everyone finds the sounds useful!

[@richochet]

Thank you for them! 🙏

[@samecoff2788]

@@richochet Absolutely!

[@johnp.1122]

Love your work, Christian and very much looking forward to tagging along on this next chapter. It sounds like an exciting journey to embark on! Happy Holidays to you and your family!!

[@fldrummerman]

This channel always puts a smile on my face. Always interesting. Thank you!!!

[@paulapplewhite6135]

Hey Christian, good to see you on the Inside No. 9 documentary. That was cool 😊

[@bjorn2970]

Just stumbled upon this and it is fantastic! Thankyou.

[@Ryan.Anderson80]

Had to sub after watching this. Really keen to see and hear more from your channel.

[@ArchimedesWoo]

Listening to your comments on the sound of the damping on your wife's autoharp put me in mind of Shingo Mimura's piano-and the sound the mechanism of the piano makes when played-on the album Fragments. I wish you every success in your reinventing of the Pianobook Platform for creators and artists alike. Have a Happy and Peaceful New Year. ;-)

[@synthlab]

Talking about sounds, developers, quality, products etc is fine, but i see it and feel it from a different point of view: nice people making good things and offering them for free, simply because of the love that music brings to this world. Musicians are such fantastic human beings that cannot escape their love for their art, and it shows. Thank you. Thank you all.

[@everytongueconfess]

Love your work and just discovered you! Thank you for everything you do.

[@BassBusMusic]

Thanks for this. I'm a very green beginner at sampling and this has given me lots of ideas for things I can sample to how to process them to how to play them. A whole new avenue to explore. 👍

[@patrickkrou]

Very happy to see a rebirth (of sorts) of Pianobook on the way, truly one of the greatest things to have been created for the community, so thank you Christian. Christian, I do have two quick question for you... 1. What is the midi fader controller you have there? Love the minimal design and simplicity, and wooden side panels are never unwelcome. 2. I know you're loving your Sound Devices interface, saw your enthusiastic video about it a while back, but what happened to your Neve 88M? Do you still use it, perhaps as a secondary unit for other projects? Simply curious as it's such a lovely bit of kit and I remember how much you seemed to like it when it first was released. Thanks!

[@ChristopherSimmons]

Thanks for these and nice to see you again at the head of the table for PianoBook and the new iteration. Happy holidays!

[@mellifluousfable]

Glad you’re feeling better. Yeah, there’s a few similar bugs around. The high temp and chuck up one and the high temp and feeling like your eye sockets are going to implode. Neither of which sounds like a particularly good day out! Always happy to support with the limited spare funds available but already a subscriber and purchased a library recently. So, I am actually waiting for those new blag posters to drop that we’re getting their final check and planning on at least one of those.

[@leighrandle2736]

Lots of great work can’t wait to play with all the plugins 😎

[@rxgueplanet]

Best gift ever! Thank you sir!

[@mattbagasaomusic7735]

Cheers Christian! Always great seeing your video uploads. Any chance you and Crowhill will be at NAMM next month?

[@gregoryivesdolbyatmosmusic]

Good on ya!!

[@Pax30001]

Awesome!

[@screwloose_productions]

Great work ❤

[@manoarbol]

Thank you!!! Everything in this video is amazing. Wow. Welcome 2025, and Audio Inc.

[@bluematrix5001]

Thank you!!

[@mr.astromoon]

thanks... amazing project

[@HugoArgentina]

09:35 Came for the free goodies, stayed for the cringe

[@sebastianmoggia4800]

Thanks very much ❤

[@sylvainblanco]

I love pianobook ! thank you very much @christian henson and Happy new year !!!

[@martijnvanbeek4387]

Thanks for highlighting these lovely libraries Christian! Just wondering: what benefit is there for some of the creators to make theiribrary available only via Kontakt full version? I love Dore Marks piano libraries but I do not have a full Kontakt version unfortunately.

[@StephenTallamyMusic]

For a developer to release via the free Kontakt player requires to send their library to Native Instruments for encoding which can come with additional cost to the developer. This is why most developers release free libraries via Kontakt full, which doesn’t require any interaction with Native Instruments.

[@robst247]

An incorrigible ink-u-bator, I wholeheartedly applaud, and give thanks for, all hereby offered up to Apollo (god of mousike, who presides over all music, songs, dance and poetry).

[@stephenpower1475]

Christian, any word on what happened to the samples sent in by contributors a couple of months ago? I remember spending a full afternoon sampling my soprano sax and uploading them as requested. Nothing back from anyone yet

[@jeffhixson2620]

Merry Christmas and thanks for the great presentation but none of these are free without a $300. version of Kontakt! Would love to have your Autoharp pack but only of it's in Decent Sampler format.

[@WAZA___]

I bet he has had an handshake with Kontakt. I know...I'm cynical.

[@midinotes]

Christian, is your website broken? Homepage keeps taking me into an infinite redirect loop.

[@stickman393]

I would pay cashey money for that sampled AutoHarp

[@TheCrowHillCo]

You don’t have to… Down load it at pianobook!

[@howieat1574]

hope your feeling better soon

[@ArchimedesWoo]

🔥❤🔥

[@paulward1586]

Wonderful! Do have a web link to the drum machine/bartender so I can contact him about a possible project?

[@anarchy0208]

Full Kontakt required, right?

[@LearnCompositionOnline]

Whe are not going to substitute “composing” by “sound making activity” as well in UK no?

[@CookinBeatloaf]

I wonder how many people watching are subscribers and just not signed in all the time / everywhere

[@ayisa001]

Hey Christian, Lovely to see some highlights of the christmas calender. I couldn't help noticing the cassettes around 18 minutes. Did you ever had a chance to listen to the album of Denhollander (Birth of a lifetime) which you got after the composer walk in june 2024? Just wondering :) cheers. See you somewhere in 2025

[@DanielKonsum]

Can we please get Time Markers for the Videos?

[@screamingswifts]

Cheers! Please make it mandatory to add audio previews of the uploaded instruments. No need to use bandwidth in vain.

[@brother0john]

These look great, but all in Kontakt, so no good for me. Shame these aren't available in Decent Sampler. 😐

[@johnb6723]

Boozendorfer? No, it should be pronounced Bersendorfer.

[@martijnvanbeek4387]

Wthout the r inbetween though. In German it is spelled as Bösendorfer. The ö is not used in the English language and therefore hard to pronounce. It’s like a combination of e and u I guess ( at the same time). In the English language tthe ö is often spelled like oe as in Boesendorfer.

[@peterd3218]

If you know French: Like bleu but without the "l"

[@orvilleorville5020]
