I really hope Wavesfactory does this library justice and doesn't screw the pooch. The demo you posted makes the piano sound a little muddy but I blame that on Soundclouds absolutely abysmal compression. (edit: just listened to the ones on wavesfactory soundcloud and it has that same muddy sound. I think I'm right in that it's the compression soundcloud uses)

Ever since I got the original survey about this, I've been salivating. This may end up being my replacement piano if they do it right.

What I've played around with Mercury I haven't noticed muddyness. The sound is warm and fairly round.

One man's warm and round is another man's muddy?

TBH I was not that impressed. Maybe I'm just not a piano geek?

I recently read a gushing review of it, so I was curious. I wasn't hearing anything all that special from the demos I heard. The current piano to beat is Pearl, IMO.

...It has nice sounding Metropolis Plate reverbs though I'll probably not use them since I love putting Eventide Blackhole reverb on pianos (there's nothing better for a piano than Blackhole).

A bit OT but I have to ask - any particular BH presets you've found particularly useful with piano? I really like BH and have used it on a few projects, but so far it's been more of an "effect" than as a traditional reverb space.

I usually mod the "Blackhole" preset to suit my needs. I like my piano to sound soft with a long tail. I'm not really going for traditional reverbs with piano and that's pretty much the reason I like Blackhole.

Cool, thanks. I'll have to give it a try!

Pianos do have different personalities so not everyone is going to like every piano. :)

and......

guitars (electric or acoustic)
amp sims
bases
drums
synths
eq
reverb
compressors
...........etc.

I guess there's one exception, upon which we can all agree:

We probably can agree that we need more.

Becan geek, yes. Piano, not so much.
