Testing Native Instruments Alicia's Keys - Moonlight sonata 3rd movement.

[FrickerHenry]

Just curious ... does the sound of the virtual piano come through the computer speakers or the keyboard / midi controller's speakers ??? Thanks (:

[Darkvinx88]

@FrickerHenry comes from the monitors :)

The keys playing aren't coinciding with the music. Can you explain that? I'm watching carefully and I don't see it. Not to be rude, but this sounds exactly like my record by Vladimir Horowitz. If this is you playing, you are beyond just excellent...regardless of software.

[Darkvinx88]

@troutslayer52101 ive recorded audio and video separetly and ive experienced syncronization problems..btw im a guitarrist its not me playing of course..i wish i can!! i use this softwares to create my songs..take a look at my keyboard compositions like electric numb,omnisphere impro and dark nights i do played them :)

[1StarProductions]

I have Alicia's Keys and it sucks. The lower G and A keys are out of tune and sound gnarly. It generally sounds fake and not half as good as other higher-end VI's. I guess that's why it's only $100. I think all the people who think this VI is great aren't real piano players.

[Darkvinx88]

@1StarProductions well..im a guitarrist...and for what i need..this is really good...i know there are better vsti..but usually are more heavy GB-wise and a lot more expensive...so for me its really good :)

@1StarProductions

thx for the information.

can you advice me a really good piano vst?? I'm a "virtual piano composer" and I just cant find a "realistic" piano vst.

alex east

[Darkvinx88]

@alex2east the best vst piano on the market is synthogy ivory Grand Pianos..

[alex2east]

@Darkvinx88

thanks for the answer.

What do you think of "Galaxy Vintage D" ?? ... the trailer is awesome

[Darkvinx88]

@alex2east well you have to try it...look for a demo

[ManolitoMystiq]

@Darkvinx88: What do you think of East West Pianos, or haven't you tried those?

Mano

[Darkvinx88]

@ManolitoMystiq ive never tried them..the best for pop,rock,jazz,blues is alicia keys..the best for classical music is Syntology Ivory..the others are also good but sound "different" its a matter of taste in the end

[Darkvinx88]

@ShadowsofSmoke i havent tested ivory yet..but i think alicia's keys is really good and realistic if you can you use it properly(this demo was made when i installed it now ive a much more realistic sound)..i need it in my instrumental rock songs and it does the job really good..

[ShadowsofSmoke]

@Darkvinx88 Take a listen to Ivory, and you will HEAR that there's no comparing the two. Actually, Alicia's Keys was rushed to the market. Thomas Scarbee always release excellent stuff, but it's so apparent that N.I was pushing the guy to hurry. The low-end of the piano had samples that were out of tune. This has never happened before with all of the instruments, he's done.

[ChrisKogos]

MIDI PLEASE!!!! i need it this is the same midi wikipedia used for piano sonata no 14's page

[paulpaid]

I like alicia and I like Native Instrument's stuff, but I'm guessing this is marketed towards someone who doesn't have a decent piano vsti. I dont hear anything outstanding from this app.

[Darkvinx88]

@paulpaid this is a small test..its far far better than this demo...ive made this the day after i got it..now after some tweaks sounds really amazing

[DeJemig]

Is it just me or do the keys something else than the music played?

[Darkvinx88]

@DeJemig they play the same thing but not syncronized..when i edited it the video was so heavy that i cant match it with the audio...the preview was slow so in the end its not syncronized but its the same thing.

[EricMaldonadoMusic]

Do you know where to get this vsti?

[Darkvinx88]

@EricMaldonadoMusic search on Taringa.net theres a post somewhere from a user called llvllaxl...he makes a lot of good uploads :D

[Kay79andPeachez79]

@Darkvinx88 Hey, whats going on? I found that download and the install went fine I think, but when I tried to play Alicia's keys some of the notes would'nt play, you know what could cause this? thanks in advance

[Darkvinx88]

@Kay79andPeachez79 mmm you have to have kontakt player 4 and then install the kontakt 4 crack(once cracked kontakt player works as the full kontat 4 loads all the libraries you have and so on) in order to run it properly...after that it loads fully and it works really good

[Kay79andPeachez79]

@Darkvinx88 Thanx for for responding...well I have the free download of Kontact 4 from their site...would I still need to install the crack? Hope hope you are right because then I at least no what the problem is and could fix it hopefully. Thank you very much for helping.

[Darkvinx88]

@Kay79andPeachez79 you have to have kontakt player 4.0 installed then install alicia keys and then install the crack for kontakt 4.0 (theres no crack for kontakt player)...after that it should work without the activation error

[kb1629]

Played very beautifully! But what about those CPU and Disk meters. O__O

[Darkvinx88]

@kb1629 its because of the recording program...remember im playing and recording the screen of the pc at the same time..thats why its goes very high...during normal use its about 10 15%

[ka85ak]

How so very beautiful!! Thanks my dear!!

[teamtroduzco]
