Rob,
Healthy discussion and a sharing of POV in a civilised way is surely a healthy pastime. As you've discovered, there are those (me included) who offer an alternative sometimes, based on opinion and perspective. If you browse the forum, you'll find many discussions, passionate and objective, about a number of topics. The hollywood sound saga is not restricted to this thread. There have been many. And the discussions have prove fruitful for many (me included) who are open minded enough to respect and appreciate a different POV. I wn't speak for others, but I've learnt much, and filed away in the grey matter much information about a variety of musical and technical subjects.
It would also be fair to say I'm as guilty as many others when it comes to introducing alternate discussion in threads dependant on the subject material.
Far from being antagonistic, this thread has been a source of knowledge and reflection. Others have been far more 'enthusiastic'!
The discussion of players and origins is one of personal preferences, and there are those (again, me included) who will question and offer something different as their personal preference.
No one's having a go at you Rob, on the contrary, we're enjoying a conversation between peers about subjects we're amused, passionate or objective about. (Sometimes a mixture of all three)
And importantly, to get back to the origin of the thread, we've all learnt something new about VSL Trumpet samples!
Regards,
Alex.
