Florian75 However, when I press heavily the keys, I get quite a metallic sound. Particularly true for the D5 note. When I play piano, this unpleasant tone disappear. It a bit like a very light coin was lying on the string.
I also notice the metallic coin-like sound on the D5 note. However, it doesn’t bother me when playing, and perhaps this is the vintage character of the piano, making it sound slightly imperfect.
I noticed that VSL has an audio export feature, which is quite handy. I’m not sure if this is new. I recorded some Christian music using the Concert D 1887, and I think the quality is great without needing mastering through my Ableton Live.
thanks jenpal.
I also believe that there is also the time for the ears and brain to adjust.
After 6 months of Modern D, you need some time to adjust, don’t you think?

Yes, I think so. It’s incredible how our brains work. Sometimes stepping away for a while and then returning can change your perspective.
However, I have mild hearing loss in my right ear and tinnitus in both. So I’m not sure if that’s why I don’t mind the metallic sound.
Initially, I wasn’t a fan of vintage piano sounds but gradually grew to like them. My default VSL piano is the CFX, which is bright and remains my favourite but I sometimes prefer a drier vintage sound.
jenpal the good thing is that we are just a couple clicks away from playing a pristine modern Steinway D, or a 1887 vintage one, as an example. If you just had an acoustic piano, it would be slightly more difficult to do the same thing 😉
We are fortunate to have all these options at our disposal 🙏🏻

That’s absolutely right. We are indeed fortunate having access to many different virtual pianos. 😃
Florian75 No compression on mine.
jenpal Well played and uplifting 😊
