Thanks Herb,
I certainly give that a try! I'm open to suggestion!

And yes it is that "LA Hollywood sound". Love 'em or hate 'em, LA players are the best at what they do and I loved it the first time that I recorded them there and do everytime since then (budget permitting).
Thanks again Alex,

Wow! Tough room!!! I'm probably gonna get hammered for this but we're really statring to sound like musical snobs here. Let's face it, we're not practicing neurosugery. Just because someone isn't as well versed as others (obviously your more enlightend to know that it was the LSO) however, some peoples reference point isn't as elevated as others...let's not scare them off by making them feel inferior. I'm of the opinion that sometimes learning through osmosis can be just as valuable. And Alex was right when he spoke of others viewing these forums, starting their musical journey and offering them our gained knowledge.
Usually I never get envolved in quibbling, but c'mon guys...we're better than this!! Not trying to offend anyone....just MHO.

Interesting.
One of my absolute favourite composers is Sibelius. Some would say that the only horn players that can really make it sound right are Finnish players.

That's why when I was up to do "Bpbby Jones-Stroke of Genius" I call the LSO to find out about their recording schedule (ultimately I was bumped by James Horner-but if you gotta be bumped by someone, I guess

I'm learning that I have to choose my words quite carefully on this forum so I'll end my thread with this comment. In no way did I say that LA was the best (in the world, universe etc) I just said they were the best at what "they" do. Just like the LSO is the best at what "they" do (but I will be bold and say-and please someone somewhere don't slam me for saying this-they do have the best Horn section in the world...I know I've probably ticked someone off somewhere by saying that) Vienna is the best at what they do, etc, etc, etc. I was merely defending the people that I've worked with when I felt that they were being "down played" in a couple of post. We all remember where the origins of orchestral music derived from (yes, Europe...there I said it!) and contrary to popular belief, we here in the US know that the world doesn't revolve around us. That's why when I was up to do "Bpbby Jones-Stroke of Genius" I called the LSO to find out about their recording schedule (ultimately I was bumped by James Horner-but if you gotta be bumped by someone, I guess JH is a good one to be bumped by-and please lets not go down the JH road-I know all the controversy over his plagiarizing himself and other things) But are proud of the fact that even if the "LA Hollywood Sound" has sort of become like the word "Xerox" in refering to movie music I guess there's a compliment burried in there somewhere. My comments about sbobbery had nothing to do with this issue of who's doing what but more so with disrepecting an individual' lack of knoweldge about music or where a particular score is recorded etc. That's all...I just hate to see anyone inhibited to join in these discussions for fear of ridicule because the rest of us have had the fortune of an education and professional experience. Really that's all that was floating around in this small little brain of mine. Personally I would hate it if this country were the only source for what we do...that's a rediculous thought that I doubt anyone in this county shares. Once again, we're the "Gatekeepers" no matter what continent we're perched on.
I will say thanks for all your comments about the Tpts (which is how this whole thing got started) and thanks to Herb for getting me headed in the right direction with the right patches!
Happy writing all and never let anyone tell you there are "too many notes!"
