What are the specs on your computer? cause I'm currently using the New York Concert Grand from NI with a 13" Mac Book Pro: 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, and 4 GB of memory, and I'm getting a clicking sound when I play the sound.

[idaveit]

@ryancangri This is possibly due to a too small buffer size. Try to enhance the buffer size of your audio system. Be aware that this will enlarge the latency. You have to find a good balance between latency and "no clicking".

[sistagirl488deleted]

hi, what kind of speakers are you using?

[idaveit]

@sistagirl488deleted I use very old and large HiFi Speakers. The piano is placed directly on these speakers (no joke). So I get vibrations almost like on a real piano and the sound seems to come from the instrument.

Best regards

Dave

[1citylee]

I"m very, very curious! How are you playing Alicia's Keys without a computer, or a midi controller?

[idaveit]

@1citylee The Numa Nero Keyboard is a midi controller, triggering the vst Alicia Keys piano library on my computer.

[KevinMason81]

I like this. I would love to hear the late Julie London sing to this

[idaveit]

@KevinMason81 ... "I would love to hear the late Julie London sing to this" : Oh yes that would be great!

Best regards

Dave

[MrRefurbishedBrain]

This timbre is so Alicia..lol.. nice playing!!!

[FrickerHenry]

Just curious ... is the sound of this virtual piano transmitted through your computer or your actual midi keyboard.... either the speakers on the computer of the keyboard (: Thanks :D

[idaveit]

@FrickerHenry This is a computer based piano sound, the midi keyboard is just a controller without any sound.

Best wishes

Dave

[1948eger]

thank you

[ObiWanKentucky]

Beautiful, but where can I get the piano sheet for this? I so want it :)

[idaveit]

@ObiWanKentucky Hi, you can buy it at musicnotes or sheetmusicdirect etc.

I played another intro (first 4 bars).

Kind regards

Dave

[ObiWanKentucky]

@idaveit Thanx Dave :) Hey, more vids please! Excellent..

[scarbo1989]

Quite nice, my friend. I use East West Bösendorfer on my videos, but this Yamaha sounds terrific as well. Cheers from Brazil!

[idaveit]

@scarbo1989 Thank you very much. Yes, the Alicia's Keys piano has a very nice and unique timbre.

All the best

Dave

[danielepila]

only six years? you are a genious !!! saluti da Ischia

[idaveit]

@danielepila Oh wow, thank you, that is very kind of you. It would be great to be a G*****". But to be honest: to record a video, I have to play several times to get a take that I like. So unfortunately no G****** at all.

I wish you all the best

Dave
