    Hi andreas1, 

    A bass recorder is not planned in the near future.

    Hi Paul,

    there is also no planned piccolo ? There are some nice Vivaldi's concertos waiting for it ... 😉

    Best.

    Many thanks for your response. What a pity! Unfortunately because of that I can not simulate my quartet with Vienna Instruments. I have tried the Great Bass, but it doesn't sound good.

    Hi Philippe, 

    We are planning to record all the instruments we can get our hands on. It simply takes a lot of time to record and edit all of those instruments properly. 

    So right now, there is also no piccolo at the horizon. 

    And andreas1, I´m sorry that your quartet doesn´t sound like you want it to sound. Maybe it´s a good idea to hire a bass recorder player for that purpose?

    Best,
    Paul

    This thread really irritates me.  This guy says the recorder ensemble is not good enough for him.

    I don't believe it for one second. HE is not good enough for it. 

    It is one of the most outstanding jobs of sampling yet done, far better than anything else sampled for recorders, and the fabulous player who did the recordings is an outstanding virtuoso that anyone using the library gets instant access to.   

    I should not post here anymore because I get too irritated, but I find it disgusting - the total lack of appreciation for the outstanding beauty of the various libraries here.   The recorder is a perfected example of the ultimate expertise in sampling that VSL has achieved.  To just blow it off the way this guy does is very disturbing.

    Well, why don't you let us be the judge of that, if I may be so bold. I'd love to hear your recorder quartet realized with VSL. By all means, go ahead and post it :>)

    Out of context the phrase sounds different than intended:

    I mean: With the Great Bass my Quartet doesn’t sound good, because it’s the wrong instrument.

    Thank you for the suggestion, but the effort for this is too large for the purpose.

    I have no idea now why I responded to this thread - better just to work on some music with the great VSL samples.  I'll stick to that approach.
