Almost 3 years on from launching my online Session Pianist, Production & sampled piano MIDI to Audio service www.pianoproducer.com I am pleased to announce the upcoming Premium Service of having your piano MIDI played back and recorded in a professional recording studio on a stunning Hamburg Steinway Model D Concert Grand.

Captured at 24bit-88.2kHz with premium mics, pre-amps & converters, it's the ultimate in realism for your projects.

More details to follow.

Some additional information. The signal chain is:

Schoeps MKIV >> Benchmark PRE420 >> RADAR Studio A-D >> ProTools HD

We settled on this after numerous trials & combinations, and feel it represents the piano's tone, attack transients and sonic signature accurately. Also, adjusting the velocity values & scaling in the MIDI file can control the level of brightness or warmth according to taste.

We are shooting a video next week showcasing the piano playing a number of excerpts from MIDI files. I will update this thread when it's on the site.
