I tried EZKeys and thought it sounded great but have never had a chance to compare it to some of my other pianos. If anyone has done some shootouts, I would like to get your thoughts. Also how does it sound in a mix? Just OK or jump up and down stellar?

I was recording a midi piano track tonight.  I was using EZkeys and then loaded True Piano.  I can say that I prefer the EZkeys piano over the True Piano.

I highly recommend downloading the FREE version of Addictive Keys..

It's only 49 keys of the Studio Grand....but it's FREE...and sounds great...

you get 3 mic positions instead of 6...but it's FREE...

Did I mention...it's FREE?

I'm not sure that the EZkeys libraries are the be all/end all libraries but more of a compromise that will sit well in a mix for someone who is inexperienced or just plain in a hurry to get the task completed.  That said, I know that comparisons to the best products are taken into account and the product isn't hastily thrown together and rushed to market.

OK, I'm dl'ing now.


I have Ivory II (the full boat), NI's piano series, The Giant, TruePianos & EZKeys Grand & Upright (and some others I'm sure). I hope this is not my new "silver bullet" that I just have to buy

I already saw you bought it Baps...

I love AK....

Don't get me wrong...I love EZK too....but I just think that AK sounds a bit better...to me...

But that's must me...

Addictive is very good, just from the initial listen. I downloaded that free demo. Thanks cclarry. I have to use it in a mix however to be sure. I have the Bosendorfer 290 from years ago which sounds terrible by itself however, it works many times in the mix as the piano in the background and off to the side. Working on a comparsion with EZKeys now.

I got the update.

Uh Oh, more to come? I'm already behind on the newest EZKeys Jazz MIDI. Not that I do a lot of Jazz.

What's next? Techno Piano?

I see that the Rhodes and the Wurley pianos are now released.  Not very techno.  ;)
