Ooohhh, that sounds nothing but beautiful!

And I must add, Piet, your demos (writing, arranging, mixing) for the different pianos are nothing short of amazing!

It's funny, this board, in the sense that the recommendations/information I read/get here I usually check out while "recommendations" on other boards seem to be more "fan based".

In short, just bought Pianoteq 7...

Thanks, Thomas!
Those demo's of mine are both a cause of pride and embarrassment, I must confess. I'm quite pleased with the musical ideas in nearly all of them, but I also always want to redo almost all of them from scratch, because I fairly sure that, with a bit more time and concentration, I can make them all much better now, soundwise. Especially these last few months, I think I've raised my mixing and producing game considerably (and I also bought some new hard- and software which is really making a difference), so everything I've done before that, simply begs to be remade. But then something else comes along that has me occupied, and those remakes get postponed ...

Thanks again and enjoy Pianoteq!

Ha! Yes I know exactly what you mean, there is no end to the "want" of perfection. Have a few want-to-redos myself

But, let me assure you that nothing you do to these mixes will (for me) make it "better".

It's like with the re-makes of movies, I still need to find a remake of a movie I've already seen that is better than the original. The first one is the one you connect with.

So if you were to redo these pieces, for me it wouldn't necessary be better, just different. And in most cases I think I'd prefer the original versions.

And yes, I'd really like them to be available on for example Tidal... Let me know if you want help distributing them.

I'm really impressed with the Steinway B Felt preset. At least as good as any of the sampled felts I've heard.
