Hi Dale,

Most Sample libraries run on both, Mac and Windows. Unless your computer is totally outdated, look at sample libraries first before you spend any money. Minimum computer hardware requirements are usually provided by the sample library supplier.

Make sure that the sample library has been recorded dry. The quality of your piano track will depend a lot on your midi editing and naturally on the sound system you use for playing your recording.

More expensive sample libraries contain samples recorded at many different dynamic levels for realistic dynamic sounds. The dynamic levels or layers are cross faded in the sample player engine and controlled by velocity of your midi track. Sample players that come with the sample libraries such as Kontakt Player permit reduced memory usage by purging unused samples.


Best wishes,

Herbert

Thanks again Herbert.
I have no idea what I am doing with this stuff. I did a search for sample libraries and found one that I like. It was only fifty dollars. Not too bad. It is called PMI Bosendorfer 290 MULT24 Files. After I downloaded file 1, which took a long time, I got a email that I need to download 3 more parts to the file, and they are big too. I think I will be downloading for a while. I wonder if that player that you mentioned is in the archive?

Hi Dale,

A Bösendorfer 290 sample library at $ 50 sounds like a real bargain. Let us know how you go.


Best wishes,
