I´m curious, Dave, how do your clients react on this demo?

Very good question. The trailer industry people don't think it meets their standards. It doesn't meet mine either. Generally most people like it and actually think it sounds good. I may remix it and address some of the obvious problems such as more appropriate samples for the performances. Also reinforce some parts with orchestration. And more reverb!

Dave

I'd like to hear those sections fully developed as you mentioned. Maybe you can do that when you're sitting around eating bon-bons and collecting royalties next year.

I personally don't know any royalty.

I hear you on the Bon Bons Bill. I won't eat any but I 'd like to compose a few. Perhaps some serious works as well. It would be interesting to start a thread on the life of the artist in America. Europe traditionally has been for more supportive - even of American artists (including jazz players, as you probably know.)

Don't know any royalty? Isn't that Paul guy a knight or duke or something?

Oh yes, Sir Robbins. But he was stripped of his title. He's now living in an ancient stone tower on a forbidding cliff above the stormy sea where he's been confined by the local duke. Something about "Crimes against Nature" - that sort of thing. Apparently he'd been reading "The Monk." Anyway, it's to our benefit since he gets lots of time to post here.

"Crimes Against Nature" ?

What did he do, score a big Hollywood movie?

No, what happened was he talked to some people about providing backing for Britney. He was actually planning on using VSL string samples! Can you believe that? That's why he's locked in that tower. The duke had no choice. He's a sample user himself. Has a great EXS24 setup and so of course has some respect for the VSL. But anyway I hear Old Robbie's fingernails and hair are getting really long. And there's a strange look in his eyes now. Or so the locals say. Of course they're a superstitious lot around there. But I shudder to think of what's going to happen when they let Old Robbie out. Probably be a great subject for a new Hammer film.

Bit of transatlantic chirp aye? Bit of teutonic chirp thrown for good measure in as well! Was it something I said? I can take it, and I can dish it! Haven't got time now unfortunately. Maybe later though! Bit of trouble with the old mem saib actually. Played a bit of trick tonight on her in the shower. There could be a court case! She screamed the bloody place down! I blame you lot and all that talk about Psycho! Becoming a monk could be closer than you think.

Later

You just can't beat Paul (Sir Robbins) after he's had a few.
