    o.K. I needed to explicate more carefully, considering the delicacy of these issues...

    Sometimes very talented people develop certain "problems." Rudyard Kipling with his "brownies." Guy Bacos, the fine composer, with this other person who seems to be posting here as well. I have no idea of who he is.


    Of course I have no such problems. I am disturbed however by this person named William who keeps sneaking into my bedroom in the middle of the night.

    Once again William read my previous post, you're jumping too false conclusions.

    I was joking. I thought that was obvious.

    End of my part of this discussion. Good luck to all of you!

    William, were you pulling an Andy Kaufman?

    Yes, he is always an inspiration. [[:|]]

    Well, that gave me a chuckle [:D]

    Also Guy - that's a classic! Composing a demo for an instrument, and later forgetting about it and it's sound [:)]

    All good stuff.

    Yes that is what I was trying to joke about, that Guy has done so many of these things he seems to be a set of about 4 clones all working on demos. That's why he uses a quad core. He needs at least one processor per clone.

    BTW on the original topic, another favorite is the Baritone Horn. This instrument is another example of the increasing perfection of sampling shown in the later releases. The tone is the rich velvety sound of a really good player, instead of the out-of-tune fumbling heard so often in bands. The legato is beautiful, but also there is a 4-velocity sustain version which has a huge range. I was wondering if that is stretched in fact, because it goes down to the tuba range, a low C if I remember right. If it is stretched, it still sounds totally natural. But the range and playability makes it an ideal low mellow brass sound for a wide variety of scoring.

    Maybe I'm drinking too much VSL, I should consider VSL Anonymous for help.... [:D]

    A few month ago, this guy sent me a piece I thought was very nice, I asked him who is it by? He said: "You!" I SWEAR, I would never have recognized it in a million years, and I still didn't, so I looked in my arrange files and found it! Of course when I new it was my own composition I didn't think it was so good anymore.....
