I have a friend who has told me many times that Ivory ACD is his favorite. sweet timbre.īut now I think I get that none of these are perfect.īut I like some of them better than others.įor my tastes, Garritan CFX is the best. I have been using it with the Close and Player mics.īeautiful lower octaves. also, I find that I definitely need a headphone amplifier, to get enough volume for any of the vst's to sound good.Īs for Ravenscroft's sound and playability? I must not forget to mention, that the headphones play an important role. and had problems with clicks, and dropouts and all that. Now I have certainly been on a grail search for the most awesome piano vst. but, I have not focused on the results enough to give you a good answer for that. Next, not sure about how it records or sounds in a mix.

i want something really different.įirst off, know that I am an amateur.

This is a sound that could be more in Ravenscroft territory. The close mikes open from the players perspective and the ambient/ear position ones 3/4 open untill i hear a natural, warm, crystal clear and intimite ambience And of course calibrated eq and other settings to my liking. I have created my own RECORDING sound on the Garritan that is very different from what i first heard from it on youtube and soundcloud examples. how would you describe the overall vibe/sound of the Ravenscroft ? I mean, what are you waiting for? Christmas?Īnd Elmer, I have installed the CFX update. Truth be told, I could be happy with CFX and Ravenscroft. Not pulling the trigger after reading some stuff that well, made me quite hesitant.

Also, Ravenscroft is incredibly awesome too.
