Hi folks!

What paino vst would you recomend using to get that big room piano sound you hear on so many Crossover House tracks...?

Or maybe a nice effect that helps to really make it stand out.....I try a little reverb but cant seem to get it just right...

Cheers guys

record a real piano, nothing beats that!

but NI's akoustic piano is pretty awesome as piano plugins go

wusikstation 4 has that miestro piano thats alright probally just as good as the one on sampletank. also try just adding a string layer over top of whatever piano vst or sampler you already have. if the attack is right it really thickins the piano up.

Processing is what gives it that 'big room sound'.

Akoustik, Ivory, Pianoteq, The Grand, Garritan Steinway D, whatever, plus a big hall reverb and compression/eq.

Steinberg The Grand 2 + Ambience VST = http://www.last.fm/music/rutger+muller

And what I usually do is play at a medium/soft velocity (minimal music style), but compress it to be louder.

the "thread title length" limitation is really working wonders for the comic value of this one...
