MAX RICHTER PIANO: So what do we think of the new piano sample from composer Max Richter? [SPOILER ALERT] It's gorgeous! So today Guy takes a look at one of the most intimate and rewarding pianos he's played in a long time and tries - with only partial success - to write music to accompany the birds who come to the shed bird feeders....in real time.

Unfortunately there was an audio issue with this video which we have now corrected. It was a technical problem at our end and nothing to do with the library! A new version of the video with fixed audio is available here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZA9yeeQL0vU.html

I absolutely loved the birds in there as you kept playing. Perfect soundtrack for watching birds 😃. Don’t change Guy 🙏

@ThinkSpaceEducation 4 месяца назад

I love my bird feeders - surrounded by nature is a very good place to write music

@LindaMissad 4 месяца назад

Thanks, Guy, great sounding piano... fun to see the birds as well. Your tidbits about noodling are valuable. Always good incites.

Love that piano sound! There’s so much room for creativity with it

@roogrey 4 месяца назад

A lovely video, Guy. I'm blown away by that piano and see exactly what you mean. I especially agree with the point you make at 13:45; I use my phone all the time to record moments of inspiration and happy accidents, they are never the same twice. 👏

@masterrenderer4338 4 месяца назад

It sounds beautiful! Also I am thoroughly enjoying the trailer course and the new setup of the courses. 👍

@ThinkSpaceEducation 4 месяца назад

Excellent! Works reallty well doesn it!?

@masterrenderer4338 4 месяца назад

@ThinkSpaceEducation It does, it also "forces" you to practice and lowers the threshold to do so.

@bryanhitch9383 4 месяца назад

I have just ordered it myself after that. Like you I prefer to work at the piano before going on to Logic but even then this sounds like an instrument to use in general anyway. Nice Vid (as always)

@CharlieFisherMusic 4 месяца назад

Yet to watch the video, but I'd just like to say this is probably the most realistic sounding intimate piano library. For £110 it's an absolute steal. Probably the best low end I've ever heard from a piano vst....

@ashleyaudioproductions6867 4 месяца назад

Yes I agree, that sounds fantastic. The finger rolls and sustain sound authentic.

@billyruss 4 месяца назад

It does sound like a really nice piano. Something odd happens to the sound at around 4:40, and there's definite distortion at 5:00 (and after) - not sure what happened there.

@adnsounddesign 4 месяца назад

I was looking the comment to see if I was alone. I confirm what @billyruss wrote.

@ZebulonsPi 4 месяца назад

Agree 100%, actually pulled me out of it a bit. The piano was beautiful before that (and I'm a huge Richter fan), but yeah, the distortion after that point is VERY bad.

@billyruss 4 месяца назад

It clears up at about the 8:00 mark

Guy I absolutely love your channel so much, can you tell us what your favourite piece of music you've written is?

@alexkarpenter2306 4 месяца назад

Hello, Guy! Really love your channel for the last 3-4 years (or maybe more)! I hope you don't might me asking, but I have one idea for future videos... What do you think about getting a deep dive in some of your cues from your movies?) For instance, some action cues from Marvel's animation, or themes for Iron Man or Planet Hulk, or some action cues from Jackboots on Whitehall? I'm talking especially about action cues, since I find your orchestral action writing really strong, especially in Jackboots on Whitehall. I think it would be a really great thing for the new year to find out details about real-life examples of advanced action orchestration. Anyway, that's up to you! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :)

@guym1428 4 месяца назад

Thats a good idea- we have trouble clearing video to use on the channel and Marvel arent known for their relaxed approach to copyright! Ill give it some thought though adn ahappy new year to you too

@johnmcvicker6728 4 месяца назад

Thru my studio monitors - sounds good. You'd probably place the speakers appropriately and each key is placed well in the stereo field. I would probably have wanted each note to be "stereo" and positioned really along the whole stereo field. Sounds good from here. I have to wonder if anyone at pianobook have done anything like this too. Forte was definitely clipping at about 5:05 and your mic was close to clipping as well.

@johnmcvicker6728 4 месяца назад

@@mcfahk I think Guy goes through new microphones nearly every season, month, fortnight, etc. Usually is pretty good and sometimes a little rough like this. Sound-checks (like we do in live sound mixing) are worth doing with video recording too. Pro-tip for anyone selling audio courses - make sure your audio is top-notch! :) I enjoy Guy's videos because he's a bit like me - sometimes rushing headlong into wanting to help others with some tips. Creativity can be messy.

@gregmceachern7114 4 месяца назад

I got a hold of some reel to reel tape recordings of birds in nature one time the government was throwing away. I played them on my stereo and placed the speakers in my apartment open windows. The recordings attracted all kinds of small birds to a small sapling in the middle of the courtyard. It was neat. My neighbour noticed the quiet commotion.

@ThinkSpaceEducation 4 месяца назад

Thats very cool. It is a well established method for finding song birds in spring when they are setting up territory.

@nicholaswheeler1311 4 месяца назад

You, generally speaking, simply cannot beat a real instrument for composing. It just feels so much more organic. I’ll check out this VST piano though and see…

@adammortonmusic 4 месяца назад

I grew up on the piano, been playing for nearly 25 years now! When composing, if I can't get the emotion through on a solo piano, I haven't achieved the correct melody / harmony yet. I always start on piano and then arrange from there. Awesome to hear your thoughts on composing from the piano! :)

@ThinkSpaceEducation 4 месяца назад

I almost always start on a piano or an ensemble string patch to get the basic idea sorted

@alareya1789 4 месяца назад

@paulcooper9981 4 месяца назад

Would you venture an opinion on how this compares with Pianoteq 8? I have that and it has that effect on me - it makes me want to play, and the ideas start coming from my noodling 😊.

@Fastvoice 4 месяца назад

... and it doesn't need Kontakt to work.

@paulcooper9981 4 месяца назад

Also… the standalone Pianoteq app does record everything you play (as MIDI) and you can go back and review and save it later if there’s something good in there.

@Fastvoice 4 месяца назад

@@paulcooper9981 Yep - saves files with timestamps and the number of notes you played. You can just import the file into your DAW and edit it - which initiated at least one or two of my song ideas which I surely would have forgotten otherwise. 😉

@t.a.e9143 4 месяца назад

How do you timestamp and find your way back to the yes-moments of the eternal noodles. For the - to be continued 'tomorrow'. As far as I know, a phone is a non-telling black screen at any moment in time, be it today, tomorrow or yesterday. Please help !!! I really mean it.

@bookstuart 4 месяца назад

I think Guy just listens to the audio and picks out the yes moments. As Guy says Max’s piano is idea for composing ‘noodles’ as Guy calls them (I call them doddles) and have a midi recorder running in the background all the time. I use either Cubase or the midi recorder in my Kawai mp10. Midi is flexible, you can add, modify and clean up the noodles.

@Fastvoice 4 месяца назад

Sorry, but my studio monitors give me a lot of distortion at the forte notes here and even when you speak louder. I'm not used to this - usually they have very little THD. Sounds like digital clipping (did you try to get over 0 dB?).

@LodvarDude 4 месяца назад

The sound has either been recorded too hot or something happened during export of the video. Probably a limiter acting up.

@ThinkSpaceEducation 4 месяца назад

That was me not the samples! It was satup for "quiet and intimate" and not "Guy tries to thrash the keyboard" mode

149 pounds for a piano that sounds nice. I already have about 4 of those when I bought the standard Native Instruments bundle couple years ago. It doesn't sound like a deal for me.

@MartinJG100 4 месяца назад

Hot signal but sounds OK, Guy. You are right, a lot of virtual pianos can sound a bit thin and brittle and yes, noodling on the real thing is a world apart. PS - 1:30 I would take the shed any day, not literally, of course. Anyway, who is this geezer Max Richter... :)

@DihelsonMendonca 4 месяца назад

It sounds electronic. A real acoustic piano doesn't repeat the sounds of the Keys. If you play 10 times, 10 times will be different. That's why most of the electronic pianos sounds like an Harp. Unfortunately. 😮
