Family Grand Binaural Piano Comparison using The Rocketeer Theme
7https://www.patreon.com/mikeheimburger
On Christmas Eve, Christian Henson of Spitfire Audio released his new piano sample called "Family Grand." It was recorded on his home piano using two stereo mics above the piano and a special binaural audio mic placed at the bench where you'd sit if you were playing the piano. I think it's an amazing sample, made even more amazing by the fact that it's free.
The binaural part of it sounds remarkable. Like you are seriously sitting at his piano in his home. When I tried it for myself, I knew that the opening passage of The Rocketeer was the perfect thing to test it on. I recorded my experimenting so I could share it here. It's eye opening to compare Family Grand to other piano samples. I will definitely be using this in future compositions and I'd highly recommend it. It's not the piano for every scenario, but it is remarkably versatile in the binaural recordings ability to be placed into a room.
