This can be really dramatic by switching out Logic Pro’s Piano for Piano V. I will always export the MIDI tracks as well as the audio tracks from the Logic Pro’s virtual instruments, as I find I can often improve the track by using a different virtual instrument with the original MIDI performance. I've had several projects come to me for mixing from Logic Pro, and since I find Logic Pro clunky and buggy, I always try to export the projects to other DAW software. (On a side note, I'm very impressed with Logic Pro’s Drummer, and have ended up keeping drum tracks made from this virtual instrument – unable to beat them with humans or other software). In any case, I've often suggested that people buy Logic Pro because it's a great way to affordably start recording music, but the virtual instruments and plug-ins just feel flat to my ears and have a way of making tracks sound lifeless and homogenous. Although Apple’s Logic Pro may be a great DAW and is very affordable, I'm not a big fan – especially in regard to its virtual instrument sounds. That said, Arturia’s Piano V is a very useful tool in these days of laptop production.

I've gone to some pretty extreme lengths to record actual pianos instead of using digital ones. I am very picky about piano sounds, and, in general, my rule is that only real pianos sound like a piano should – so I don't like to use sampled or modeled pianos if at all possible.
