Topic: Combine forces?
Hi,
A couple of us here are editing sounds, each on his or her own, in our 'big search' for the best possible edited piano-sound that we can get.
I was wondering if people would be willing to 'combine forces' a bit to see if we can all work together to come up with such an edited version or preferably a whole set of different ones.
I myself don't have a real piano to compare to. I also don't have a sample set like Ivory. I made the choice for PianoTeq when I 'felt the need to spend money'
Further I only have the piano sample set that came standard with LogicPro, sounds that I'm not so happy with.
Question:
Are any people on this forum willing to record separate notes in a couple of velocities as a basis to work from? That might be an mp3 with those notes from a good sample set like Ivory or from a real acoustic grand, although Ivory will probably be easier since it's already been recorded under proper circumstances etc. Every note would preferably be recorded in maybe 4 or 5 levels of velocity without AND with sustain pedal, the latter recorded all the way to hear how it fades out.
I can ofcourse make a midi-file with those notes that people with decent sample sets who are willing to help could use. Just let me know it that would be easier.
That way we might end up with an fxp as close to those samples as we can - by sharing the fxp, we might all give it a try (or at least the ones who are willing to spend time on editing). We can also get some idea of how the sound will respond to different keyboards since obviously everyone will have a different one with its own settings.
Further it would be nice if someone would record a decent midi-file that everyone could use to listen to and tweak the sound from.
That way everyone has the same material to work with and thus we could truely 'combine forces'.
Please let me know what you guys think!
Cheers
Hans
