Stefan, thanks for posting about the Eastwest Library, I am interested to hear what other companies are doing. Such information enables me to hypothesis about the future of sampling, and such information includes the deals and prices of other sampled collections. Perhaps I am an overly simple man but I like to imagine all the future possibilities of sample libraries - I mean... I like to do other stuff too.
I have the VSL Saxes and I think they are excellent. What has been so nice about this collection is it has me thinking differently about sax. I'm sure this is just my personal take but I must say, after coming from a jazz background, and after playing with longwinded – excuse the pun – sax players and their longwinded solos, I forgot how wonderful the sax is as an orchestral instrument. I don’t own any of the YellowTools collections, nor have I heard any demos of their Saxes. However, I can say the VSL Legato Tool is a wonderful thing and it does great things to the soprano and tenor sax as a sampled instrument.
All the best and keep being excited - Enthusiasm is no small thing, in fact it is probably the best of things, because it reinforces the importance of experience and experience alone.
