While I’m not a pianist, I’ve certainly done a fair amount of piano programming as well as lot of research looking for that perfect piano sound. On today's episode I compare ten (yes ten!) piano libraries with examples from meditation to jazz and Beethoven to Debussy.Plus in my Year of Taxi update, we check in on any returns or forwards and take a listen to this week’s submission which is a Stranger Things-inspired synth tension cue, and then I give my thoughts a Cuban salsa cue written by another longtime 52 Cues Community Member, Enrico Caporale (https://soundcloud.com/user-542988836).Watch this episode on YouTube!https://youtu.be/3xQnNDvUYIg00:00 - Intro & Welcome02:16 - Year of Taxi Check-In16:23 - 10 Piano VSTs Compared01:08:47 - Join the 52 Cues Community!01:10:02 - Salsa Huevo En Barbita," by Enrico Caproale01:17:22 - Outro & How You Can Support 52 Cues!All Is Well - Music for Meditation by Shannon Kropfhttps://open.spotify.com/album/69hUKqypKHV5o27jadtPc7Support for the 52 Cues Podcast comes from ReelCrafter, the professional way to pitch your production music and know exactly when your cues are heard.Start your free trial at ReelCrafter.com/52Cues!Join the 52 Cues Community! – https://my.52cues.comIt's free to post your cues for feedback from the community, network with other composers, and ask questions about the industry!Plus, member subscribers get extra perks like workshops, livestreams, cue breakdowns, live feedback sessions, hundreds of hours of video archives, and opportunities to submit to real music libraries.One-on-one coaching sessions and video critiques also available at http://52cues.com/coaching!Note: Links may be affiliate links which generate a small commission but at no extra cost to you!
