Yesterday, when playing along with a brush drum track and a upright bass track, I used a hi shelf to roll off the high’s from about 1,2 k, and a bell curve to boost the low mid around 0,5 k.īlend the dry TG3 signal and the compressed signal to your liking. I’m sure I could have used some of the Cubase stock compressors, too.įabfilter Pro-Q eq (a matter of taste and what will work in the mix. Anyway, on the group track, where the compression took place, I used the following inserts:įabfilter Pro-C compressor (radical settings: low threshold and high ratio, fast attack, release time set to auto). This is not an exact science and I didn’t tweak it to perfection, so don’t have the exact numbers. On this “summing” channel I added the send reverbs. In addition to what’s shown in the video, I used a second group channel to which I sent the output of both the dry TG3 and the compressed signal, enabling me to control the overall volume sent to the main stereo out with one fader. I now found this video that describes the technique I used: Honestly, I couldn’t hear any difference between Player and Close view and ended up using Close (me think). I turned off TG’s built in reverb and EQ. The Steinway is much more open in the top, which is nice for a lot of things, I guess, but not for what I aimed for this time. I used the Bösendorfer, as I regarded this is the best starting point. The good news is that we already have 95% (give or take) of that right now with AK and Ivory and Vienna and some others and they're relatively light on the CPU.I’m not in front of my computer at the monment so I might get some of the details wrong. The future of piano sampling will be difficult and it will require VERY fast computers. 10 strings vibrating as one, not 10 samples of each individual string mixed together. When I listen to a great piano recording (as I did tonight: Lang Lang on Telarc), what tells me it's a real piano are these things. The future of piano sampling will lie in the subtleties (resonance, the interaction between one vibrating string and the others which aren't, the sound of the room/hall/stage, random little chair squeaks, etc.). Attack is crucial, of course, but they're all starting to sound very similar during the first second. It's where a lot of the magic is starting to happen with these recent libraries. I think our ADD as listeners prevents us from appreciating the sound of sustain. All the interesting stuff hits you pretty quickly, then it just coasts.īut I'm glad you observed that observation. Look for more product information about Ivory II at ILIO - Virtual Instruments, Sample CDs, and CD-Roms in the coming days!" ILIO is about to launch its newly redesigned website.
#Synthogy ivory 2 grand trial
I really liked the Upright Piano in the Grand 3 Trial and do like the fact (for the money) that I could get both a Grand Piano and Upright with TG3.
We know you'll love experiencing a new level of expression and realism in your new Ivory II Grand Pianos! Thank you I recently tried the trial of The Grand 3 and I did love it but very curious as to what the Ivory 2 sounds/plays like. You may also contact your favorite dealer to pre-order. To do so, please call ILIO at 80, or 81 as soon as possible. We would like to give you a special opportunity to pre-order Ivory II Grand Pianos before the release date. Ivory II Grand Pianos represents a monumental effort that not only doubles the size of the original library, but also introduces technologies that no other virtual piano can claim, such as Harmonic Resonance Modeling for realistic sympathetic string vibration, and Timbre Interpolation for the smoothest, most lifelike piano performance anywhere. Try dragging the file manually from the USB into the Ivory Items folder on your hard drive. If you experience a problem installing a file from any of your Ivory Grand II USBs, please follow the suggestions below.
