Anyone wonder if
Akira used virtual pianos in the game's soundtracks? I mean, even I can quite easily make a very realistic sounding piano track on FL Studio, and the game piano tracks give me that feeling.
Re: Anyone wonder if
I believe so. There's even a video on the Making of SH2 with him creating Lying Figure noises (I think, or some other monster) through a keyboard.
Re: Anyone wonder if
Don't believe I ever saw that video. :U

A.Y. mostly used prerecorded material and samples to "compose" the SILENT HILL soundtracks. The music he did create was almost entirely digital, aside from the guitars and bass.

Re: Anyone wonder if
Yamaoka never used an actual piano on any the sound tracks. The piano on the Silent Hill 2 soundtrack, for example, is very obviously not real. There's an old virtual instrument/sampler called SampleTank that has a piano called "1920s Upright Piano" that is close to the one he used.

Re: Anyone wonder if
Well that's a bit of a disappointment.
Re: Anyone wonder if
It's understandable though, given the time and expense of setting up, miking, and properly recording an actual acoustic piano. It probably wouldn't be a big deal for a large production, with a group of engineers and the money to dump into the studio time, but I think Yamaoka was mostly on his own and probably under a ridiculous time crunch.

Re: Anyone wonder if
Did reFX Nexus exist back then? I mean cause, I use virtual pianos too, and mine sound almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
Re: Anyone wonder if
Nah, the original Nexus 1 came out mid-2006.
Back in the day, SampleTank was really popular, and I'd bet he used it for his piano during the SH2 days. For SH3, he used a much better, more realistic sounding sampled piano. I have no idea what he was using, but it sounded really great (especially for the time).
