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 Unless your computer is totally outdated, look at sample libraries first before you spend any money.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
