Other virtual pianos have this problem to a larger degree. Yet, in some degree, it still has this dullness problem. ![]() It sounds better than ANY virtual pianos on the market. Some one recommended "reducing the volume." That indeed helps a bit.Īlso, I do not say that Pianoteq sounds worse than youtube records. People recognize that problem: the more sound (thicker music fabric) - the duller the sound overall. Many people will agree with me, and the issue was given some discussion here at the forum. But, again, for a distant recording - just perfect.Īndrei, I described the issue very generally, very very generally and "overall." I did not go into the specifics. For a close up simulation, yes, it is hard, for a real thing with a good condenser microphone you can capture so many ghost sounds, mechanical noises, even how the felds touch the string - it is still hard to simulate. Speaking about "old youtube records" - it is the area where Ptq just shines for me, I mostly play using the emulation of some more old recording made from some distance, using some touch of tape saturation-compression, more reverb-to-dry settings - the result is just unnoticeable if it is the real recording or the artificial one. Though I see hundreds of minor areas to be improved but the overall situation with Ptq still continue to impress me a lot after about 3 months of everyday use. Generally speaking I don't see any problems with many notes involved, and yes, I play professionally (more or less). Though seems I can see the overall picture of the complain more or less. Maybe it have something with my English, but I don't get it. Where do all the high frequencies go with you increase sound saturation? why does the sound becomes so muddy and dull? why it does not with real instrument and microphones? Tone and hummer hardness help but not much, since you want the sound bright and crisp, not metallic. I got frustrated with this issue with all major soft, I basically tried all there is on the market. ![]() But once you start playing something with all 10 fingers, god forbids, professionally and in good tempo, the sound becomes dull, muddy, and cannot be compared even to an old youtube performance, which sound much crispier. Seriously, many sampled performance you find on the webpages have some jazz compositions with very thin music fabric - they sound crisp, and high frequencies are very bright. Either the developers have to rethink the engines, or introduce some corrections with increase of music density. It is an illness from which all the VST pianos suffer, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the samples, velocity layers, etc, but with the engine itself. ![]() An absolutely related to all similar software issue that one cannot help noticing is the lack or disappearance of sound crispiness with the increase of music fabric density.
