    Well said.

    Although I would say I don't salivate. I just get rather aroused...

    Sonrise, which company is doing the hype?

    Not to name names, of course. [6]

    I really don't know if it's smart to say as it would start a discussion that VSL might not want on their forums.

    Ok, so let's be realistic. Sampling is like any other business. They will always tell you your product is better. But there is a difference between doing is professional and well...stupidly.

    I guess I'll pm it to you.

    thanks for keeping unnamed companies unnamed - but to avoid such an inconvenience in the future VSL will seriously consider to hype the products a little bit in the future [:P]
    and remember: only a CRAY can run an endless loop in just three seconds.

    cm,

    That wouldn't irritate me as much as say you guys getting defensive in the most unprofessional manner if we were to question you librarys, and point out flaws. You don't get defensive, you actually work to get the problem fixed.

    Not to mention you put out numerous patches and fix your librarys before making more of them.

    It's actually hard for me to find flaws in your patches (only a few)

    In my experience as a consumer, this is very true. The closest I've ever seen VSL come to hype was in the 2 weeks before the release of the VI's, with the countdown and 'new clue' appearing in the flash screen on intro page every day [:D] Such fun!

    But VSL could employ this little bit of hype because the loyal market they've earned could trust that the products were almost finished, worth 100 times the hype (love the Solo Strings), and worth the wait.

    There's something about that Contrabassoon that, well, erm...........

    I beg to differ. While yes the contrabassoon has certain... qualities, shall we say ... there is nothing in all of music to match the sensual, sultry, ravishing and actually quite immoral sound of the bass flute. A simply lascivious instrument, which really ought to be banned by the Legion of Decency. My favorite of all instruments, of course.

    A certain sampling company that I have been buying from, continually keeps saying things like:

    "This is the first time anyone has done this."
    "No one will ever come close to this library."


    When you've got a product that speaks for itself, no hype is needed! [:P]

    Also,

    'Demos Coming Soon', and

    'Products available shortly',

    .... pffft.
