Re:[linux-audio-user] Pianotest1 recording as requested by Mark and answers to questions by others.

<SNIP> I've uploaded the MP3 recording of this MIDI file to http://project-portability.foad.nl/mp3/pianotest1.mp3 Note though that it was sampled from Grandest Piano beta v0.1 and thus will not neccesarily represent the v1.0 release of the piano. <SNIP> Roel, I think this is quite a good start! The upper registers, above middle C, are the best to my ears. They sound quite open and natural. I beleive that this part would be easy to mix and would come through just great on pop music. I think that below middle C, or maybe even an octave further, there isn't quite the power that I hear in the Bardstown (link follows - look for Piano Shoot Out) or the Post Bosendorfer samples on the previous link, but those are 9 foot pianos that costs about $200K U.S. It's got the largest sound around. What piano did you sample by the way?? I certainly liked yours more than a couple that I've purchased and look forward to hearing your final product. It was, BTW, a bit hard, as I suggested earlier, to compare yours with the others because of your choice to use 48K instead of 44.1K. This will make it a bit more difficult for people to use your library at the same time that they use a tool like GigaSampler, but 48K people need a great piano also! Go for it! http://bardstownaudio.com/frames/mp3.html With best regards, Mark
