[@Mr528austin]

I had to respond to your video. Which I saw two days short after buying pianoteq 8. I’m totally pleased with it. But if I had a saw your video and realized I already had this plug-in in the new logic update I wouldn’t have purchased it. This sounds beautiful and just as good. I’m shocked like you. Purchased pianoteq on sale for the holiday for $200 maybe. I already had this and didn’t . I could’ve saved myself some money. Thanks for the demo and putting it out there.😊

[@stevenleonmusic]

Piano One by Sound Magic has been around for literally over a decade and it's pretty much the most versatile and best sounding free Piano VST that exists, especially for the extreme amount of customization options from the mic placement to the velocity response, volume envelope, etc. This does sound nice though. You'll probably still have to dice it up with an EQ to keep it from overtaking a mix where the piano isn't the premier instrument.

The new reverb they just added and search function are also killer add ons. Best bang for buck DAW you can purchase.

[@faruzzy]

Thanks for sharing sir!

[@Eighty8Music]

I so agree! It's really crazy especially the upright. It's very woody sounding with the different old noises it rivals any expensive VST I think. Very cool that they spend time on this ice. I'm assuming it's modelled and not sampled?

[@DGGZ-EFX]

Hey i think you touched on this on an older video…what’s a good mixer for a multiple keyboard/synth setup ?

[@matthewwhitaker4849]

Bro, all three pianos are great. I used the studio and the upright one already in a few things. The concert one sounds great too. I love the release in all of them... all are unique. If you are looking for a good reverb, try the new one they just released a few weeks ago... there's a preset in the medium section called keys. Love that one. Turn the mix down a smidge and it blends really nicely.

[@Johnmike]

@@matthewwhitaker4849 dope! Gonna mess with that today!

[@jaketanner109]

The one to beat is VI Labs' Modern D. This sounds good but also sounds dynamically stunted. Maybe the velocity curves need a bit of adjusting.

[@roncurtis8174]

I can not find Studio Piano. I've downloaded all available sounds, and I've refreshed the library. I've even restarted logic. How do I get the instrument?
