When i play the soft piano in LABS i get this click sound everytime i press a sertain note & it's kinda annoying. Does some have a solution to get rid of that sound?

My personal favorite use of Claustrophobic is to narrow it's stereo field and then pair it with a brighter piano at a lower level that I push into a wide stereo field and gently flowing reverb - it ends up having this sense of being extremely close with Claustrophobic piano, but then a spacious brightness that fills the space, which for me leads to a really intimate, contemplative place. It takes a bit of mixing so it isn't obviously two pianos, but I find having most of the reverb tail being on a bright, low volume piano makes Claustrophobic shine all the more!

I totally agree with you. I've been saying for ages that the best instruments for making music are the ones you have, not the ones you wish you had. I have had folks wonder why I use an MT-32. It's because I have one, and still find it useful. Same with my music room speakers. I use 2 RCF 12's, supplemented by a couple of tweeters - again, because these are what I have.

That was a very inspiring video! Those sounds really moved me, and conjured up cinematic imagery and drama that had me feeling breathless. So wonderful to have these composing tools at our fingertips! Thanks for making these videos. I look forward to every one!

This is quickly becoming my most favourite music making / sounddesign / sw / hw gear / whatever related to music making channel on YT .. amazing amount of content, amazing quality (not just by content but also technically - appreciate video / sound quality) - extremely appreciated !

Not gonna lie. I used to skip over your videos as soon as you said, "Howdy doody, Buckaroonies!" When I finally gave you a chance, I've come to a point where I look forward to coffee with Cameron every Monday, and make sure to try out whatever new instrument, effect or technique you're showing off, by the end of the day. (Continue to) use your powers for good!

Winter Felt Piano is nowhere to be found online anymore. Can you please provide a link to the Decent Sampler version? THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been following you for a while now, and I love your videos, but it was only with this video that I really came to appreciate your playing. Very nice! Clearly I need to download Christian Henson’s pianos so I can start playing like you! :-) Thanks for sharing, you’re a star!

This is really really cool, first list I've seen that consistently lists solid options, as well as no repeats from other videos I've seen

Beautiful piece with just the Claustrophobic piano. Amazing how you can somehow alter time itself with sparse playing.

Thought I'd give it a watch even though I tend to stick with Vienna Imperial for almost all my piano needs. Some really interesting stuff here, amazing that they're all free.

Nice one Prof. V, loving your work. Christian Henson is one of the great unsung heroes of our profession, I hadn’t heard Claustrophobic Piano but it sounds and plays wonderful(ly).

I'm here just to say this: wow. Came for the title and leaving the video with a mind blowing creative lesson. Thnk u for such a class.

I've been making lots of music for the past year or so and I've used basically exclusively free plugins, the only two exceptions being the analog lab and gentleman piano that came with my Arturia $100 min keyboard and I haven't *needed* either of those once.

Was just about to watch this, and then realised I have all five of those pianos, but decided to watch it anyway. Great choice.

Oh sweet, was literally just looking for good piano sounds this morning. Thanks!

The links to the winter and the Autumn pianos both say "Page Not Found" if anyone knows how i can still download the files that would be great

Poolz has an AMAZING track... called "Wondering Why". Incredible piano on that tune.

Hey, has anybody still install pack of claustrophobic piano please?🙏🏻 cant find it on the internet anymore🙈

Everything you said in the beginning is true, however, Spitfire Audio has a collection of free vsts that vastly improved a few songs I created in Ableton Live Lite using only the stock MIDI instruments.

I've been wanting to pick up keyscape for awhile, but these free pianos are changing my mind :b

Not sure if you tried it, but I would add Neo Piano - Piano One to the list. I've been using it for a while and I'm pretty happy with what it can do. Edit: I especially like the settings for the point of view (point of hearing?), where you can adjust whether to hear it from the player's or the audience's perspective.

links dont work

Great stuff; very valuable to orient oneself in the ocean of options. Just a question: do you happen to know what happened to Winter Felt and Autumn pianos? Pianobook does not have them anymore (broken links) 😔😔😔

Hi guys, I'm trying to download the decent sampler pianos but all the links don't work, and if I try googling them I also can't find them. Anyone can help please?

I use an old keyboard as a midi so I dont have the option to change octaves. There IS a piano plugin that help me with that issue ?

im having trouble with pianobook claustrophobic piano, i cant find the files in FL studio (manage plugins scanner) once I've extracted them to my folders. would WinRAR be causing issues? or which folder should i be extracting them too? glass piano from spitfire audio worked fine. using pc also, any help would be much appreciated.

these pianobook vst are not longer in the website, where can we find them now?

I've been looking for a nice piano for a while. That autumn piano gave me a little tingle. Several little tingles, actually. Thanks.

I am new to this. "Plugin" suggests it needs another piece of software where this vst needs to be installed to. Is this correct? If so, what software program would that be?

dude, seriously thanks a lot for this vid, I really needed some good sounding piano plugins cuz I was tired of using keyzone by bitsonic.

where I get AUTUMN piano please, the link dont work🥲, or another vst with the effect of autum piano multi 👏

I've been a denizen of internet audio forums since, well, since forums were a thing... Can't tell you how many times I've had the plugin question. Best answer ever was from mastering engineer John Scrip of Massive Mastering: Use what you need, with the settings you need, when you need it.

Say bro your link for the Autumn piano isnt working anymore, do you know where I can find it now?

For some of us who don't have an instrumental keyboard, I want to know how to change the attack. Example: If you just click the key in the keyboard roll, you get a high attack. So how do you change it?

@AutPen38

Жыл бұрын

Depends on which VST you are using. Some include a knob that allows you to alter (e.g. slow down) the attack, such that the sound fades up, but many have a fixed attack setting. Similarly, some piano ROMplers are based on many velocity layers (so the timbre changes a lot based on how hard the original piano's keys were struck) and other VST pianos are more limited and typically take up less space on your hard drive. As far as I know, there is isn't a MIDI cc for altering the attack length; it depends on the instrument itself.

Would anyone know how to get and use claustrophobic piano in FL studio? I've been struggling to do so and trying to have it open and I don't know if to use Kontakt 7 player? I don't know I've just been confused and still haven't been able to use it.

I struggle with creating a pianobook account. I cant receive an activasion mail. Checked the spam folder. Anybody help :(

I have FL Studio, and it comes with a beautiful piano already that I use a lot. (Or did until my PC crashed). The stage grand is awesome. I think people mainly need to learn how to use their DAW. You can take the same stage grand, and change the sound of it using some of the plug ins that come with the program. You can have the piano soft, ambient, or whatever. Maybe that is sound design, but I just like seeing what the program can do, because I can't afford to buy extra VSTs and plug ins.

The main point here is a good one. Find a nice full-range piano that provides enough control over tone, envelope, etc. Then you can modify it to the musical context. that's why I am not a big fan of all these muted pianos that seem so popular. They are one-trick ponies. maintaining lots of plugins for one-off use is inefficient.

I have decent sampler but can’t seem to find any of these pianos there Does anyone know why?

the thing you played in spindle sounded so nice

when you play the chune, i hear some noise between each notes , i believe its the keys sounds that were recorded making the samples. i know it makes it more realistic but that bothered me a bit, it started to make annoying sounds to my ears. someone felt the same ?

The Ratio Grand piano for SinePlayer is also really nice.
