[@DHOTS2007]

which one do you prefer sir ?

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

I prefer Garritan CFX most of the time :D

[@anthonyvinart6756]

Which one has the best feeling like a real piano except moddart ? I'm interested in noire piano but I can't try before. Noire pure vs Garritan vs Hammersmith pro ?

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

In terms of reality. I would like to go for Hammersmith. Sounds so pure and not filtered at all.

Forget the VST's - the Man's Skills are highly Entertaining and very Impressive

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

Thank you Barron for the encouraging comment :D

[@thomasni123]

Thankyou so much for doing this!! There's nobody else out there doing what you do. It's really nice to be able to compare VSTs because I don't have a lot of money and I've been looking to buy one.

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

Hi Tyrone. Thanks for encouraging me. I hope this would really help you choose the best piano VST you want. :D

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

@tec4ever Hey tec4ever. Thanks for the nice suggestion. Yes one of the pros that Pianoteq has is that it has a demo with some limits such as mutes on some notes. It is of course worth trying as it costs nothing. My best piano among Pianoteq's packs is Bechsgein which is the lastest pack from Modartt. Many people praise that for its sampling like tone and reality. Let's talk more later :D

[@YeahBan]

근영님!! 이렇게 들으니 또 피아노들이 달리 들립니다요!!ㅎㅎ 참, VI labs 새 피아노 나왔어욤🥰. 야마하 업라이트 샘플인데 소리 좋아요ㅠㅠ

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

VI Labs 새 가상악기 나왔군요 ㅎㅎ 이 곳 악기 정말 퀄리티 있죠 ㅎㅎ 소개 감사합니다 ^^

[@YeahBan]

Keunyoung Song 저 올해 노려보려고 합니다ㅎㅎ

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

개인적으로 업라이트는 별로 좋아하지 않는데 이건 진짜 샘플링 잘 했네요 ㅎㅎ 저도 이러면서 지르고 있을지도 몰라요 ㅎㅎ

[@YeahBan]

@@PianistKeunyoungSong 제 개인적인 감성으론 좋아하는 편인데 약간 세미 그랜드인 것 같기도하면서 특유의 그 맛이 있더라구요. 생각보다 청량한 음색이어서 더 마음에 들었나봅니다 제가ㅎㅎ

[@루비-b1i]

웨이브 플러그인 너무 써보고 싶은데 독학인 제가 쓸 수 있을지 망설여지네요. 에이블톤에 있는 무료 플러그인은 어떨까요??

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

에이블톤 자체 플러그인들도 훌륭하니 이걸로 연습하시고 Waves로 넘어오시는 것도 좋은 방법입니다.

[@porkypooky4412]

근영님 영상은 미디 녹음 후 가상악기를 바꿔서 재생하시는 것같은데 벨로시티 표현이 적절한건 각 악기에 맞게 수정하셨기 때문인가요, 아니면 악기 설정의 벨로시티 커브 조절만으로 해결 하신건가요? 전 하나의 미디 파일로 비교해볼 때 느낌이 너무 달라지더라고요ㅠ

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

각 가상악기마다 가지고 있는 고유값들이 전부 달라요. 벨로시티값도 노트별로 수정을 해줘야되고 마지막으로 마스터링 값도 전부 그에 맞게 조정해 줘야 각 악기별로 비슷한 볼륨을 가지고 비교할 수가 있어요. 그래서 이런 비교영상 한 번 만들려고 하면 손이 정말 많이 갑니다 ㅎㅎ

[@porkypooky4412]

@@PianistKeunyoungSong 우와.. 엄청난 노고의 결과물이었군요 이런 귀중한 영상을 공유해주시다니 다시한번 감사드립니다

[@singsongwrite]

역시 연주는 뭐 더할나위 없네요. 그리고 역시나 다들 좋은 소리지만 피아노텍만큼 피아노 바로 앞에 앉아있는 느낌을 주는 건 없네요.

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

감사합니다 주니님 ^^ 피아노텍 세팅이 워낙 세세하게 조정이 가능해서 바로 옆에서 듣는 것과 같은 표현도 가능하죠. 전 프리셋을 쓰지만 확실히 연구해 볼만한 악기인 것 같습니다. ^^

[@porkypooky4412]

근영님 마음속에 Ravescroft 는 몇위쯤 되려나요? 그간 댓글을 보니 대충 CFX, Pearl, Keyscape, American 순으로 선호하시는 것 같은데 제가 놓친건지, Ravenscroft 에대한 언급은 거의 없었던 것같아서 궁금해요. 몇몇 커뮤니티에서는 Ravenscroft 를 최고로 꼽는 사람들이 있어서 평소에 관심이 있었는데, 막상 근영님의 비교 영상에서는 딱히 인상적이지는 않네요.. 근영님은 Ravenscroft 를 어떻게 보시나요?

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

Ravenscroft는 음색이 크게 튀지 않아서 여러 장르에 사용하기 좋습니다. 프로그램도 가벼워서 여기저기서 꺼내 쓸 수 있기도 편하고요. 제 주력 악기는 아니지만 유튜브 영상에서 빈도 있게 사용하는 악기 중 하나입니다. 개인적으로는 누구나 보편적으로 좋아할 만한 악기라고 생각합니다 ^^

[@porkypooky4412]

@@PianistKeunyoungSong 그렇군요! 감사합니다!!!

[@gp8727]

Thank you SO MUCH for this awesome video! May I kindly ask you which one do YOU like most for classic, jazz, pop - respectively - how are the different pianos regarding cpu-load, latency ...

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

Hi GP. Thanks for the comment. Personally, I don't play classic much, so that my favorite piano VST for pop&jazz music is as follows in order. 1. Garritan CFX 2. Pearl Concert Grand 3. Kescpae About the cpu load, Kescape comes first. And about the latency, I barely feel any latency playing with above instrumets. Hope this helped. Anyhow, What VSTs do you like most?

[@vickyaaron1919]

Thank you Vicky 😀

Wow, thank you

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

Thanks. Hope this helps :D

[@qkywong]

Hello. I got Garritan after watching your videos! But I found that the pedal sustain/reverb is so loud and I don't know how to tone it down . I am using it as a plug-in in logic pro x. Thank you so much.

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

Hi Queenie Wong. I'm glad you finally got Garritan CFX. It is one of my most used piano VSTs these days. About the sustain pedal noise, you can maneuver the noise from the setting. And about the reverb.. mmm.. Garritan CFX has a full and rich tone by default which sounds like it has lots reverb in it. If you don't like too much reverb, you may turn off the "Ambient" mic in the instrument. I hope this helped. :D

[@qkywong]

@@PianistKeunyoungSong hello, thank you so much for your reply. It really helps.

[@peteypablo2081]

Nice! What kind of Yamaha keyboard is this?

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

Hi Petey. It is virtual instrument. Thank you.

[@RazielX12]

I love the vid thanks i think noire is the best

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

Thanks for enjoying my comparison. If you can get enough volume with the Noire, it sounds really great I think.

[@jonathan130]

Which do you like the most?

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

My favorite is Garritan CFX 😀

[@jonathan130]

@@PianistKeunyoungSong cool! Btw question what presets did you use for noire? Yours sounds so much better than mine

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

I used the "Wide Open" preset. It has a broad stero range and deep warmth. Hope this helps.

[@mostmoonlove]

아이보리는 좀 울리는거 같은데 설정문제인건가요?

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

경진님 안녕하세요. 하나의 미디파일에 각자 다른 가상악기들을 입히다 보니 그런 것 같습니다. 서스테인 페달은 특히 가상악기들마다 반응하는 타이밍이 달라 울리게 들리는 것 같습니다.

[@MohammedJabbar-r8g]

what is this piece of music? i feel like it's familiar but i can't recall it's name.. is it an original of yours?

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

Hi. This is an cover song. The original song is Mendelssohn's Wedding March :D

[@SugarTouch]

why Pianoteq Petrof ? This grand sounds strange even alive :)))) Pianoteq has Steinway D along with others in review... . :) Strange choice...

[@PianistKeunyoungSong]

Ant. Petrof is one of my favorite. I guess it was modeled even better than Steinway D IMHO. What is your favorite Pianoteq library?

wrong repertoire to compare jazz piano
