    Sure. "Composition, orchestration and instrumentation". [:)]

    One thing that recently occurred to me is to include "History" in this - like "Composers/Instruments/Music History" or something along those lines because that is one of the things I've found most interesting on this forum - like when Esperlad corrects me about Gershwin and the two Bennetts, or when DPcon talks about Raksin, etc. The history of music is the basis of it - the elemental thing that composers today are working from - and should be an essential part of it. Especially in the days of shallow, disorganized internet knowledge and 18 month hardware/software obsolescence.

    Yes indeed... a focus on musical issues would be very helpful. Specifically it would be facinating to discuss particular orchestral textures and the best use of VSL to capture them.

    I've found it really helpful when folks site a musical situation and the VSL patch(s) used to achieve it. Perhaps a chapter could be devoted to links to user demos and techniques employed to create them. Beat Kaufmans recent post of the inner workings of the Bach demo was a great and useful example.

    You are all great!

    Looking Forward,
    Robert
