I'm not a piano player but wish I would have learned more than the guitar some days. I'm in the market for an upright piano now. Can I find something good in the price range of 3500.00? What brand or model do you recommend. New or used isn't a concern. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm currently working on a piano/vocal song - and for some reason, I can't seem to get the vocals and piano to work well together.

This is what I've come up with - take a listen:

I am totally new to midi, no experience whatsoever. I just got the Bosendorfer 290 by eastwest. The book says I can use it as an RTAS plugin so I figure I can use it like any plugin . I have a Yamaha keyboard running into the preamp into an 002r. When I bring up the plugin the keyboard goes silent. I do not have midi cables hooked up from the keyboard to the 002r. Is this the problem?

I mainly record classical chamber music (recitals in theatres and auditorium with very good acoustics) and I'm very proud of the results: by now I used a Neumann km183 spaced pair in A-B recording technique through a MOTU Traveler (preamp, AD converter and audio card all in a box) connected to an Apple powerbook (recording at 48KHz 24 bit).

hey guys today i want to know which ist simply the best piano plugin on the market.
thanx for the answerzz

I have some good piano note samples eg : notes A to G two octaves.
When I load each note into Kontact 1 as a new instrument, all the notes play together. ie : I load C as a new instrument and then C# as a new instrument. I play the note for C but both C and C# play together.
How can I get Kontact 1 to play each note individually ?

hey I'm new to all this forum stuff, but i read some of the entrees and all you guys are using some nice gear. all I have is a condenser mic (cad) and a vocal mic. (don't know what make, I borrowed it) for some practice I am doing some x-mas songs. my wife singing, and a grand piano. the piano is in a church sitting in the front of the room. baisicly on a stage.

I am new to the DAW world but here is my problem. I have a Yamaha P120 and a 3ghz computer with 1.5Gigs of ram and an Emu 0404 soundcard.

Now this may sound strange or naive but let me know what I can do.

I have a plethora of keyboards and am constantly disappointed with acoustic piano sounds. The closest thing I’ve got right now is a Korg Triton Studio, and well, the acoustic piano sound is beyond hideous. Does anyone know where I might go to get some good advice on a weighted keyboard with the most realistic acoustic piano sound available? I currently have neither.

Hi guys! It's been a while.

Here's my lastest offering for the chopping block:
