Steinway B Giga file import

2002-09-01 by Y2k

Hi everyone I have read the emails regarding the The Grand.

I have been able to install the Steinway B giga sample in Logic 5.2

It took 4 minutes to convert and came out as 516 samples at a total of 1.56 gig.

And it sounds great and is not killing my Windows XP Pro PIII 1 gig with 512 mb of ram machine.  I had it running with 32 (24bit 48K) audio tracks and no problem.  Also it even bounced down with no problems.

Just a idea for anyone who needs a nice sounding piano file.

I have the gigapiano as well it is ok but the Steinway sounds alot better.

The way I installed it was I installed the giga file of the steinway into gigastudio under Windows 98 SE.  The orginial file is two cd roms.  Once I installed it I copied the gigafile into logic and the logic did the rest.

So therefore you can take the Steinway B giga file which is about 910 mb winzip it up which makes it about 600 mb and back up the winzip file on a CD Rom.  And install the backed up WInzip file on the XP system and only use logic.

This is great because I never have to use Gigastudio again or Windows 98.

Just a Idea.

Mark
