    Absolutely William! You tell them.

    Besides, musicians are just composer's slaves! [8o|]

    I'll be glad when I can do it all myself ... THE RIGHT WAY!

    Born in Hampstead, London in 1932. Close enough for me - I didn't know her parents...

    Good Lord. So was my mother. Do think they're related? [I]

    Oh, for God sake Nicks@selectionofvegetables.com, Evan Evans was born on Alpha Centauri in 1847, but he's still an American! [6]

    Heavens!

    An entire page of retorts to my silly post.

    Look, if Liz Taylor feels bloated she ought to take something for it.

    Alpha Centauri is in this galaxy so Evan could not possibly have been born there: ridiculous notion.

    Thanks to the Tuba King for properly identifying the band from Liverpool who now tower as colossal figures in 20th century music.

    P.S. Did we scare that poor chap out of here?

    I really hate to see that. I don't think we should be so insular here as to keep people out unless they are less then civil. I hope it's not are own snobbery that won't tolerate other viewpoints - even highly critical ones.

    My own reaction the Nafai's comments was no reaction at all. It's exactly what I would expect from a player in an orchestra. In another thread I distinguished categorically between real orchestra's and samples with sole operator. I think it's fair to compare the two only in the sense that we are trying to get as close as possible to the real thing in all aspects. If someone comes along and says, " Very good but still lacking utterly for countless reasons (count 80 people/80 articulations per 16th note (Tutti)/80 souls/80 sons and daughters on and on.) I can't blame someone who sits in the middle of this to call a spade a spade (to them anyway.) So what!

    I'm thrilled with Andy's accomplishment. It's the new benchmark. But if you give me a choice between a good live orchestra and MIDI. I will go with the ensemble at a million to hundred ratio.

    But I'll probably do a mock up with VSL first.

    That's 10,000 to 1 for those less mathematically inclined.

    Ah Yes, the "I Was Drunk " defense. Okay I understand. All the regulars here at VSL have a drinking problem.

    Now what I want to know is: What was that guy's excuse?

    Sorry if this has been answered already but--

    Andy can you give us details of your hardware set up? I'm interested to know how much horsepower you needed to do this sort of mock up. And did it all run real-time or did you need bounces? Thanks and congratulations on an amazing piece of work!
