    I just wanted to say that the new pro edition demos are incredible. I have only listen to Craig and Maarten's but I am totally floored as to what they show off.

    Maarten -

    This is the first demo I have heard where strings are truly convincing (tutti). If that wasn't enough, when he layers in the trumpets on this unison line I continued to be amazed. Great job Maarten. I get my 'first edition this Thurs or Fri - can't wait!!! Do you think the trumpets with the repitition tool would be good enough just with the trumpets playing (Dual of the Fates?)

    Craig-

    You never cease to amaze me with your voice leading and harmonic structures. Both "hollywood" and "anarchy" were treats. So much to comment on - just fantastic!!!

    Thanks to both of you for so convincingly selling this library.

    Thanks Rob 8-} (Dietz, now I know why you don't use the ) in a smile). I look forward to hearing what you come up with using VSL. I'm sure it will be musical.

    Hey Rob,

    Thanks a lot!

    I had a great time creating that "Traincatcher" demo. Lots of energy hehe! [[:)]]

    Well the fast repetitions (some included in 1st, the rest in Pro edition) are great for doing fast things like this. But, trumpet fanfares is probably the most difficult thing to mockup. Especially with that vague line between staccato/marcato/legato playing. The repetition tool will certainly help you further, so will the legato tool. They sound great on the trumpets. But no sample can replace a live trumpet section. [[:)]]

    Maarten & Craig - excellent demos, thanks again for showing how is should be done to us novices.

    BTW, Maarten your website URL never seems to work, is it supposed to?

    Timkiel, my .com is down at the moment. Hope to get it up as soon as possible. However, I have a mirror site right here.

    All the best,

    I would like to add my enthusiasm of the Pro samples to this thread. I just recently recieved the 1st edition! So I'm in a state of awe. It's good to know my investment will continue to grow and perfect itself! Thanks all!
