R.K., I disagree with one thing - the music business is the only one that guarantees trouble and 100% loss. The film business is that, and worse. Usually guarantees jail time and 1,000% loss. I know. [:'(]

Jail time is the fatuated issue absolutely. Thanks for the in depth focus william. Now we're on the same page. Let me tell you a stroke of luck I ran into. Ever sense I can remember, I've alway's gotten offers that one cannot refuse, if you know what I mean. You refuse and you get a knock on the door. Alway's working for others and never having anything to show for. In jail primarily as you put it. And then the darndest thing happened to me. I was in Oklahoma city one night when the federal building went up a few years back. And ever since then I've been out of jail. Never got any offers any more, out of jail, blacklisted for life. And the irony is I've written three books so far, with many lined up for future date. Have 4 to 5 CD's on the burner, almost completed. This has never been able to happen before. I can't believe it. I have the time to myself. Incredible. I can go nuts any time I wish. Watch this

Fantastic views, Mathis. I'm a big fan of mountain scenery, and it's my intention to end my days in alpine countryside, surrounded by such majesty.
Thanks for posting this.

Hahaha!
Angelo,
A wonderful quote.
And that effectively puts paid to any aspirations i might have had of a
'Symphony of the alps!'

There are smaller things of endless amounts in the alps and everywhere else worth making a little composition about. Some people, like Mahler for example, are born with Grössenwahnsinn (engl. megalomania), and see only the big picture. Of course there is nothing wrong with Mahler's music, also there are still so many beautiful things left to be composed in C major.
Did you ever listen to the music of Marie-Joseph-Alexandre-Deodat de Severac (1872-1921), a composer who worked all his lifetime as a school teacher and is one of the very few composers the music I really love, respectively play or listen to from time to time.

Angelo,
I've not had the opportunity to listen to De Severac's work, so i'll go looking. Thanks for the tip.
And your quote of '.....there are still so many beautiful things left to be composed in C major', runs to the heart of my personal philosophy about the 'life' left in what some would call 'finished genres.'
I profoundly agree with you.
Regards,
Alex.

Are you still pissed off at the string quartet samples only, or have you forgave and moved on to the biggies. You were mentioning the C# and D flat aquisition earlier. If you use logic I can walk you on how to achieve these articulation. Or are you still pissed off completely on the string quartets obligatories. you hold a mean fort. Are you a viking ? I'm a munshkin.

If its not articulation then what exagtacly is it ?
And i'm sorry for you about the other forum cancelation, But people do not tolerate geniuses, nowaday's. Especialy if they're in numerous fields. Please try to tolerate the music field for a second or two. I wrote a slide up in a violin, last night just for you. To see if thats what you're talking about. If its not it, please explain !

The solo strings have major and minor scales in the performance instruments ARTICULATION instruments. Don't tell me those arn't articulation scales, mister!!
Major and minor scales don't have much to do with tunings I am writing about...

Ok Now I see what you're taliking about temperment. From what i'm getting out of samples are pefect tuning and its a blast to play something thats perfectly in tune alway's. Piano tuners have their own way of tuning, some tune perfect fifth's, some tune prfect fourth's, some care about the thirds as they go up, some don't. I found out that if tuners don't use a tuner machine, then their almost alway's off temperment, but nevertheless can still be in tune. I use an acu tuner for that reason.
I cannot depend on somones ear anymore. Supposedly piano US tune at 440 and europe at 880. That was an old temperment, I don't think europe tunes at 880 any more. But Real players unless they're from LSO or VSO or NYSO or others, they are gonna play slightly out of tune from here to there. Thats why these samples are a blast. I've gotten so spoiled by hearing perfect tuning, I can hear real strings immediately because of their out of tuning. Only the very best stay completely in tune. Isacc stearn could be heard from his slightly out of tune playing. He was an exception. And the only one.

Well, basic tuning history is that it went up and not down. Although there might be idiosynchracies I'm not aware of. 480 would be veeerrrryyyy high, still.
Today's early music interpreters tune their historic instruments to 415hz, which is pretty exactly a semitone down 440hz.
Then there are all kinds of tunings inbetween, I think most prominent around 430hz.
As far as I'm aware most orchestra today tune higher than 440hz. If I rember right I heard of one orchestra tune to 448hz (that might be where your 8 comes from).
Argentinian Tango is 442hz, because the Banodoneons are tuned to 442hz.
That's all I know about the topic.
