Where was I? I got side tracked. [[;)]]
-
you asked about what kind of music I made... I wondered about where to find electric percussion and bass synths that was as good or maybe better than trilogy and stylus.
I would also like your opinion on my suitcase intro

Well I think your suitcase intro sounds very well mixed. The pan pipe type sound is a bit up front and played like a keyboard player would play it, if you get my meaning. But overall, it sounds fine to me, given this particular genre. This is the thing you see Audun. If you want the strings and lead instruments to sound as realistic as possible, you will need to get an orchestral library like VSL with the legato function. I am the same myself, and can't go forward until the Mac arrives, by which time, I'll probably be dead. I'm using First edition with no perf tools, because I got caught out when Apple bought Emagic. I like using Logic, therefore I've had to wait. That's life.
Anyway, I don't know what your finances are like and it's none of my business. But, I would suggest a lib like the VSL Opus 1 with the pref tools. That would take care of the orchestral side of things and you could add to it as and when you needed to.
For pads (regarding this genre - suitcase MP3) - you can't go wrong with Atmosphere. I use it and love it. It has a patch called Hollywood Strings! [:P]
For Bass - Trilogy is excellent. I use it. So many basses to choose from. [H]
Stormdrums you have and everything I've heard so far sounds excellent with Stormdrums. I will get it. Stylus is being updated soon, I understand.
You may wish to look at the Moog plugin for other types of basses. Very good sound. And maybe FM7. [H]
Albino we covered already and it's very good. Also, for your different genre's, you may wish to look at Absynth 2. Weird and wonderful! [[:|]]
The SAM libraries are excellent, and you already have them I see.
You should be able to make a pretty good sound with that lot. I assume that you are waiting for GS3 (patiently of course - never get excited) and I understand there will be some libraries incuded, such as excerpts from VSL. Plus Gigapulse!
So the only thing left is to rob a bank! [I]
This is my personal opinion you understand, and this department takes no responsibilty for any misunderstandings and will self-destruct in 10 seconds anyway. [:D]
Good luck and bests

Edit: For goodness sake try them out first Audun. Don't just take my word for it. Phew! Nearly forgot to say that! [H] Guilt attack coming on!

Hahhaa! No need DG. I have the patience of Job.
And a very Happy Birthday to you today. So how old will that be? 35?

Thanks for comments Paul, you've been really helpful. I was about to buy opus 1 but then suddenly this gs3 thing with included vsl stopped me. I have a budget on 2000$ right now, if I want or need something.
I am also tempted to buy a 19" lcd screen but I don't NEED it, but it's so cooool [H] and big...[:D] I have a 17" right now.
It's just a matter of time before I have atmosphere,trilogy and stylus(rmx too) I don't even need to try them, I've heard enough good about them. Nice demo's too. But you are right Paul, robbing a bank wouldn't be a bad idea. [:D]

$2000!!! Oh Audun! You haven't stolen The Scream have you? Take it back mate. Take it back. [:D]
On second thoughts, I'l take it off you for $5000. I'm into alienation at the moment. [[;)]]
My pleasure.

Speaking of stealing paintings...weird that you brought it up. Someone DID steal paintings from our munch museum in norway. [*-)] I don't know if they took the scream but they grabbed a few others. Happened a few days ago.
But hey, I'm innocent. I promise! [6] muahaha
Is someone interested in buying a picture I painted the other day? [H]
[:D] [:D]

Yes Audun. They took The Scream I'm afraid. Good to see you keeping up with your local news. [:P]
-
I've been so much away from the tv (will be even more away from it when gs 3 comes)...And I usually don't watch the news. There is allways something that scares you about what's happening...I rather not know.
The news made me stop eating chicken [:P]
-
Well chicken because they contained a bacteria called salmonella or something. I don't remember.
Last night I started on a action song, but I had to stop because the choir wouldn't sing properly and I can't use many instruments( I have gigastudio 32) I just bought it to learn about what it was, I didn't understand it....
Try to ask a random person on the street what gigastudio is...He would think that you had escaped from a mental hospital or something. [:D] In other words, he wouldn't have known what you where talking about... that was what I felt like. Had no clue what it was. And then I heard of GS 3 and have waited ever since.
The day I'm holding that baby I'm starting composing with samples on a computer. ..Without interruptions.
And I will buy Opus 1 if the gigasymphony doesn't mesure up with the ideas I have.
I am still waiting, and waiting....
Hey William! Do you have something I can hear from you?

Hey William! Do you have something I can hear from you?
Hehe! Try asking Peter 0302 what Giga is and he'll think you've escaped from Alcatraz. In fact, ask any musician that's interested in Giga, if you can get into the mental hospital in the first place. [:D] [:D]
You can hear some of Bill's pieces on the VSL demo site, Audun. If you PM me your email address I will send you something by email, if you wish.
Yeah. I don't eat chicken or red meat. I know what you mean. Very sensible Audun.
Later
Paul
