noir - pearl - alicias keys - spotlight piano.
the only 4 pianos i need in my productions!!

[@harolddasynth795]

Noire is my go to piano

[@christophjacobi3948]

Very good video. Great choices of musical pieces and piano libraries. I watched the video 3 times because it is so interesting to hear the differences. At the top of my list are Bechstein and Mercury. The runner up is the Black Grand.

[@alyctro8158]

Also, it's so cool the Freddies piano got sampled.

[@martinbernstein7058]

Hammersmith Pro is the best. After this, wavesfactory mercury is very close. All the others are not that good for classical music. This was a great comparison, thank you very much for sharing this great samples.

[@ciasma_xavi]

Noire is also great

[@Joel-wm2ee]

Thanks for the comparison. I wish there were Production Voices Concert Grand and Simple Sam Samples Signature Grandes included as well.

[@DJIncendration]

Yeah, Production Voices libraries are the best. I wish 300 Grand was included, but the Kontakt version was not released when the video came out.

[@winterheat]

Fazioli... also available in UI Labs and UVI and Italian Grand and F Grand... did you try the Ravenscroft 275 from UI Labs? So far it is one of the best I have tried... other ones I found at top are Pianoteq K2 and Bechstein

[@winterheat]

are you not a fan of Pianoteq? by the way... having the Chopin gives a nice comparison because I guess many users are familiar with it... do you think you can do Moonlight Sonata and Chopin Waltz in A Minor in the future?

[@mfurman]

I also think that your piano VST comparisons should include Pianoteq (and VSL)

[@Davideberti]

only Noir piano is quite real

[@winterheat]

I wonder why C7 sounds better than CFIIIS and close to as good as CFX... the 8DIO and Keyscape C7 both sound pretty good

[@winterheat]

buying a $2400 VPC1 and then $1500 VSTs probably is more fun than buy a CLP-745 huh?

[@iggswanna1248]

CLP-745 sucks ass

[@alyctro8158]

8dio wins
