So glad someone is talking about production voices. I love love love their stuff. Have been using them for forever.

[HexBeatz]

Yano what Sean I like you man, I’ve watched a lot of your videos for mastering and you’ve helped me a lot

[Eyngii]

My favourite will always be Keyscape, because it sounds realistic and with a few tweaks you can get the most of an acoustic piano sound of it 🎹🎶

[SoundsAndGear]

Dope video bro! I hadn't heard of the last two, that last one was pretty nice too!

[SauceDa]

That emotional piano is something else buddy.

[barryjneely]

"Death Piano" was perfect for what I needed, thanks.

[Harrysound]

Alicia’s keys...I remember trying it years ago as I bought komplete and just turned all the reverb and ambiance up and let it go. Definately the best.

[arenbie]

Sean idk why you don't have more subs mane your content is on point!!

[jamiebales]

Hey man, Alicia's Keys is part of Komplete Ultimate, not Komplete Standard.

[samuelnelson]

Again great video Sean, interesting how this video surfaced as I just bought Kontakt yesterday. Perfect timing

[sensium]

StudioGrand is great! Love my alicia keys too! Thanks for your informative videos!

[introoutrobed]

Shopping for piano sounds and this was super helpful! Excellent piano playing too — had to watch the video again to see what you did there! Thanks always.

Best piano I’ve ever played is so underrated but has by far the best sound. Ivory II by Synthogy

[ayospvceman]

Where is the release knob on the Alicias Keys Plug in?r do you need a sustain pedal to control the release?

[Cluless]

Love the Emotional and Death pianos and of course the Studio Grand.

I had the great luck to have a Steinway 2.10 model B at home for some years. And, although it wasn't a model D of course, the sound quality and character was "a relative", so I had the chance to get used to thet sound. That said, to me the most similar sound I heard from a library is from Embertone Walker 1955 Model D for Kontakt. One of the most amazing library I've heard, and one of the bigger also, as if you want to take whole the different microphone position it takes more than 200 Gb! Quite expensive also but, as soon as I can, it's going to be my first purchase.

[Kraflyn]

which one has the best round robin repeating spiccatos please? To avoid the machinegun effect

[MalikMAO]

Can you make a video of yours settings for reverbs, and other pluggins which you used to build this quality of sound.

[producerhat]

hey man, what settings do you have for the emotional piano?
