It’s just that manually editing
You can probably automate a lot of the process. I've not sampled a piano before though so maybe there's more manual work required there.
Have you worked with HISE's multi-mic feature before?
-
@David-Healey exactly. Babysitting those delicate pp decays and transients takes forever... I actually watched your all videos in bootcamp and tried to apply those techniques here but the sheer volume of 88 keys makes it a different beast.
To be honest, I haven’t tried the multi-mic feature yet. My current plan was just opening separate Sampler modules for Room and Far mics which is exactly why I was so worried about the RAM and voice count!.
If HISE can handle all 3 mics inside a single Sampler, that would be a total lifesaver. Do I need to combine my mics into multi-channel files in my DAW first or can HISE link the separate stereo files internally?
-
@omerdal Single sampler is the way to go. You load all the samples and HISE can merge them into a single virtual sample. From then on you only have to deal with it as if it's a single sample, if you move the start/end time, adjust the pitch/volume/pan etc. it will apply to all mics. But you are still able to purge individual channels and route the mics separately.
I have a few videos on YouTube (and possibly Patreon) showing how to work with multi-mics.

@David-Healey I was really over complicating it in my head by trying to manage separate sampler modules
I’m heading over to your channel right now to find those multi-mic tutorials. Thanks a ton for pointing me in the right direction. -
@omerdal You might also find this video on sample editing useful. My workflow is constantly evolving and it's now a little different from what I show in the video.
-
@David-Healey Thanks for the video, checking it out today. It’s actually a huge relief to hear that even you are still tweaking your workflow after all this time. Gives me hope that I won’t be stuck in this mapping hell forever.
Even if your process has changed since then, I’m sure there are some solid tricks in there for me. Thank you so much :) -
@omerdal Every time I edit a library I end up refining the process or trying different tools/methods.
-
@omerdal this looks DOPE. congrats and i wish you success
-
@David-Healey Thanks again for all the guidance and the resources.

@l8prod Thanks a lot. Really appreciate the support. Hearing this keeps the motivation high :)
