Here is my favorite preset for the Steinway D (Ribbon mic and Mid 2 mic taking the pole position with the Condenser mic and the equalized Tube mic behind). Hope you enjoy!

Hey MMKA,

thank you for your reply. I was on the fence about the Full version but yes, they sound very beautiful. Both the close and the ambient version actually. It helped me a lot :)

I'm sure this will also help other people wanting to know more about the library and the sound you can achieve with it (because honestly, I haven't found another library with this sense of realism and directness of sound).

Best regards,

Mango

Hello,

basically, what I am asking is: is the full library worth it?

I already muted the Room Mix and Mid microphones but I like to keep the Reverb on (-10.3) with just the Condenser Mic. Disabling the reverb completely kind of makes it more direct but also more digital sounding (you always hear the room in which you play in as well, I might experiment with reducing the Reverb further). 

Your suggestion about the Body was right. I felt an improvement with that.

I am just asking to hear how the three close mics or even two sound together because on some forums that is considered to be the ultimate experience :)

Hello!

I currently have the standard Steinway D library and while it is good, I would like to have a closer sound which gives me the impression of actually sitting at the piano and also gives me the opportunity to tame the sometimes pingy impressions I get from the high octaves.

Can somebody who has the full library send some examples of how it sounds with a mix of close mics? 

I was wondering if I should upgrade given the current discount.

Yes those notes are bugging me as well. Something is not quite right.

Wow, that really just fixed everything for me! Amazing! You're really on an entirely different level! 

No more harsh tones and weird velocity response, just perfect on my Kawai MP11! Makes you really feel like there's some kind of strings and hammers working at your fingertips.

What really impressed me is how you also achieved a good balance between the high and the low notes. The lows were not assertive enough before, now I think they are! 

Cudos to you guys!

Heya,

I'm kind of new to the VSL world. I have recently purchased the Steinway D but I have apparently no way to insert it into Reaper. The entire library (105 GB) is on my F drive (SSD), but normally, I would just find my VST files with Reaper but I can't in this case. I tried doing stuff with the Synchron Library Installer, but I have no idea where this package file could be (I downloaded the compressed Steinway files with the Vienna Download Manager). 

Any idea how I could fix this? I never had such a problem with any of my software.

Hi Michi,

thank you for the fast reply. 

I will write you an E - Mail.

Heya,

I'm new to the entire VSL business. I bought 4 vouchers with PayPal but it seems like there was a problem. I used my secure browser from my antivirus (meaning it does the transaction not in the same browser) and now the vouchers don't appear wherever they are supposed to appear. 

I'm kind of unnerved given the fact that I just spent 300 euros but didn't get anything.  

Can someone help me or do I just have to wait until Monday? (which would be kind of a bummer because I wanted to get the VSL Steinway at the intro price). 

Greetings,

Mango
