I had to do something quickly for another client the other day and just used my Yamaha CLP 545 CFX sound as time was at a premium and it cuts through the mix.
I have not tried it for uptempo stuff yet. I then left it overnight and was surprised the next morning I had added so much to the sound, tweaked some of it back - especially the stereo widener - and never looked at Ivory again. It has more depth, more velocity, and not such a straight (no word hear to describe the harsh lifeless digital sound of other libraries) when you hit the key. I then took off all the plugins (which you can do with a bypass switch hehe) and I still like the sound of the actual sample better than Ivory. Up to this point, I was a/b ing Ivory second-guessing myself a little for spending the money. THEN, I somehow managed to find the hidden pages where you can have multiple FX, wood ambiance plug-ins, etc. I liked it just tweaking around with the mics (first of all load the 275 - not just one of the mic versions) a bit but went digging for a manual that didn't seem to help much. But after much thought (of course, always hoping that you could demo it like the waves plug-ins) I decided to buy it. So, as anybody in the music field who does this for a living and therefore these are not toys but tools, I have to really watch my expenses.
I bought the Ravenscroft IOS instead of the Ivory and though I only used it a couple of times (not for recording) I was impressed by the actual sampled sound. I have always had high hopes for a decent digital piano. I wrote the VI Labs company and asked if they are going to implement a sale again and they wrote back yesterday saying they are about to do a summer sale so I should keep checking their website.Īs mentioned above I have libraries from all the major players. What do you mean by "a bomb"? Good or bad? After a LOT of research and listening to sound files and watching videos, am deciding that the Ravenscroft and also their TrueKeys collection of 3 pianos, seem to me the way to go.
