Hi,
I'm only do music on my sparetime, but when I do I want the best sounding instruments, that's why I bought Vienna.
It's much more fun when it sounds good!
I know I have to study the instrumental articulations terms, but the time is limited, as usual.
Maybe I have overpowered myself with Vienna, but in contrast to NI Kontakt 3, witch I bought first to get the hands on the VSL sounds, there is no competition in the software how you utilize the articulations in a user friendly way. Vienna is stunning!
Before I bought Kontakt 3, I got Miroslav philharmonic and garritan orchestra, so I have gone through the most orchestra libraries, and now recently I bought EastWest Quantum Leap stuff on their summer-sale, the StormDrums 2 complement the Vienna SE on the drum parts witch are rather poor in the SE product, and the PLUS package doesn't add any drums.
I have also bought NineVolts Audio Taiko drums 24bit, witch are totally gorgeous sounding and easy to use, only 2 midikeys.
Fits perfectly in the mix of Vienna and other (ReFX Nexus2) sounds.
I'm mostly do Trance and club music, but lately I have manage to do some nice orchestral themes and when you combine these two styles you get very intresting HQ results.
More educational videos are very velcome, I found the new expression maps for Cubase 5 very usefull.
But the Sustain expression was missing, and when I try to add it it will not function.
I have to look deeper into this.
BR,
Magnus
