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. 2 additional pianos have the character of a vintage Yamaha CP80 Electric Grand and an upright by Nordiska Pianofabriken.

The Grand is a VST Instrument devoted to providing the sound of a Concert Grand Piano in the self-contained, pristine environment of your computer. 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. Reading the forums (including Audiofanzine).

I played on a piano up the Yamaha CLP-170 and I wondered for a long time if the virtual PC pianos brought a real bonus.

You can try to run Cubase in 32-bit mode, and in Windows XP compatibility, as experiment (C6 doesn’t support Win XP, but it works, sometimes). So it could works only if you are very lucky. I used the Bösendorfer, as I regarded this is the best starting point. Steinberg The Grand 2 - Herve C's reviewtranslated. The Grand 2 is not compatible with W7, same as 64-bit OS. But always keep in mind: for The Grand 3, Steinberg has not only come up. I’m not in front of my computer at the monment so I might get some of the details wrong.
