Top FREE Piano VST Plugins every Producer NEEDS

even in the upper range just amazing I've never played a free piano before it's reacted like that [Music] an absolute staple of every producer's setup should be an exceptional piano but thanks to some amazing sample Library companies and VST plugins you can now get access to some of the best pianos on the market for absolutely free so the question is which ones are the absolute best you don't have to waste your time looking for them yourself well in this video I'm going to be breaking down my top three piano vsts that every producer needs no matter which genre you are producing yourself and I've actually used these free pianos on multiple real world projects for major music Publishers such as BMG hit movie trailers such as Star Wars rise of Skywalker and Jurassic world and much much more coming up [Music] foreign hi I'm Michael Emerson bringing you the best tips tricks and tools to accelerate your keyboard skills for your music production so let's dive straight into the door and see if we can check out the best free pianos that you can get right now okay the first free piano VST that I've got for you right here is sound paint 1928 Steinway grand piano and I'm just going to play it to start with so you can hear the incredible sound that you can get for yes for free which is amazing I couldn't believe this was free [Music] thank you [Music] absolutely incredible instrument and if you combine that with an actual 88 key weighted midi keyboard and it's important to have the weighted keys because then it's going to feel like a real piano when you combine it so definitely check out the free resource that I've made for you called The Music Maker toolkit which outlines the best midi keyboards that you could buy right now in different budget categories from low all the way to High plus the best virtual instruments you could download right now for free and also paid in different instrument categories so be sure to download that free Resource as my free gift to you in the description below this video basically when you load up this instrument the way that sound paint works is it it runs in its own engine similar to like if you've used contact before but actually what you can do with it is you can load different sounds in there and blend them together so you're not just stuck with like a normal piano sound which is amazing out of the box but actually every little layer of the piano when it's been recorded has been recording such great detail that when you play it on your midi keyboard if you've got a decent one it's going to feel like a real piano because it's going to react to it like you're playing a real piano now you might notice here when I'm playing a chord really hard it's going to play a really really hard Dynamic but if I play a soft one the same chord but it's really really soft and everything in between as well which is amazing it gives you such creative control when you're playing with it [Music] even in the upper range just amazing I've never played a free piano before let's reacted like that absolutely amazing and that's just the the main two mic sound of it so that's if you want to stand this out let's say you like making Lo-Fi music okay let's go for more like Lo-Fi sort of chords so [Music] yeah so it's you can create lots of different music with this and then this is one of my favorite Sounds here which is the main rain now when you play this it has got a nice sort of reverby sound to it foreign Just Amazing Just download that just download it it's I've used it in so many of different projects for major Publishers trailer stuff I've used it in pop stuff I've used singer songwriter stuff that you can just apply it to absolutely anything even if you just want it as a low piano sound and it's hyper realistic and you're not going to get a better free piano than that one in my opinion all round because you could use it in loads of different projects no matter which kind of genre you are writing in that is an all-round brilliant piano by sound pain I just can't believe it um the next one I've got for you here is it's been a staple the last few years in the Cinematic World especially but also it's it's got into a lot of Pop stuff and different artists have used it as well is the labs soft piano now this has a really nice soundness it's got a very specific sound to it but play that idea that I came up with before foreign [Music] to it as it as it says on the tin their Labs soft piano of course it's going to be soft so this is achieved with a nice felt piano that's been recorded by Spitfire audio and spitfire audio the lab's range you should definitely check that out because it's got a whole Suite of free virtual instruments for you but I like the Simplicity of this one there's not much to it so it's just a great sound out of the box you've got the Reverb you can add on there you've got the the way it reacts to the Keys and you've also got the the volume as well so if you wanted to be really soft no matter how hard I'm pressing that there it's the same velocity but if I put it all the way to the top it will react to my velocity much more like a real piano would so if I hit it hard [Laughter] let's hit it soft [Laughter] so it's definitely not got as as much of a dynamic range as the Steinway sample Steinway but it's got a very nice sound to it in fact I used it a project called oceans [Music] works great with Strikers it works great with broken chords it works great in pretty much any cinematic context but it's also useful for the kind of singer-songwriter sound it's been using a lot of pop songs so that is another great staple uh Labs soft piano and to be honest that would just go with those too and let me know in the comments which one you prefer the 1920 Steinway or the labs free soft piano so in a recording or midi performance it's not just the VST or the correct notes that you're playing that make all the difference to make your part sound more human more realistic more Dynamic and engaging it's also having the correct sustained pedal technique and this is another vital skill that you need to be able to master to be able to bring out your Dynamic playing but also create engaging piano parts that will bring your music to life and sound more human so go check out that video now by click or tapping the screen or another fast track Keys video clip
