We also recorded Paul's Yamaha upright piano in his living-room, using 2 Rode NT-2 microphones, straight into Digidesign Pro Tools M-Powered using an Ozonic k/b, ART Tube M/P, and PowerBook 12" laptop. This allowed our listeners to hear what a real piano sounds like recorded into a DAW.



Paul and James were very impressed with all the instruments, however they both seemed to favor the sound and features of Synthogy's Ivory, and made it their "Top Rated" piano. Rated "Best Overall Value", was the Art Vista.
