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).
