    Thanks Brad! Serenity now!! Just been to watch The Rite with Anthony Hopkins and it hasn't really altered my mood - a movie to avoid! I enjoy composing in my free time and I'm just after a good/realistic VST with orchestral sounds. I demod, if that's a word, the Miroslav VST and I'm impressed, but then I saw VSL on youtube and thought I'd investigate. Thier website implies you can demo the VST in its full glory. Thanks for your concern for both my health and VST options. Tony

    DG, I have a demo license for VI Pro on my Steinberg dongle. So does this mean I can download the orchestral library for demo?? Thanks for everybody's help! I've regained faith in humanity!!! Tony P.S. Don't go and watch The Rite, it sucks!!!

    The only way to demo the sample libraries is to buy the exploration kit. Not what you want to hear, I know, but I'm afraid that is the situation.

    I can tell you that I have used both Miroslav and VSL.  VSL sound and playability were both better.

    Heaven forbid anyone actually pays for something these days.  I'm glad VSL uses protection keys.  It prevents cheapskates from ripping them off.  You won't believe the number of people who wanted me to give them Symphobia for free.  I paid $2700 for both and these #($*#($* want me to give it to them for free?  

    The only thing that might be neat is if VSL ever has a server where you can try before you buy, like TrySound.com.  That's a nifty idea. Personally,  I got the Exploration Kit but it was a gift from a composer I'm working for so i didn't pay anything for it but WOULD have if he hadn't offered.

    I have had the same thing happen.  Someone wanted me to give them Symphobia and LASS.  They said,"Hey I'll trade you some cracked software I have."  I mean really????? This same guy has never paid for one piece of software, and yet has about everything known to man. Makes money off of it... and still doesn't pay for anything.  Rediculous!

    Yeah the rationale was that he was a college student and couldn't afford.  Jesus, the self entitlement.  when I was in university I had a U20 and Atari 520ST and got by just fine with that.  I almost told the guy to f- off and really wanted to report him to the administrator of the site but figured everyone can make a bad judgement so I just told him I wasn't going to give away software I bought.

    OT Comment:

    Fiery Angel... a U20!  I actually also had one (it still functions as a sound module amazingly enough-the keyboard is way beyond repair).  Of course there are now some sound samples by this new-fangled dedicated Austrian company - that rather supercedes it by just a bit <smile>.

    yes the U20 was great in its day.  Probably the keyboard I owned for the longest time.  Over 10 years before I traded up for an XP30.

    Don't miss those days though.  With VSL, you can realize every music idea possible.
