That does it!

Another vicious attack on my character by Nick Batzdorf.

Well, I'm not going to pay any attention to someone who simulates room and hall sounds with artificial reverbs (collage!)

I'll stick with what the rest of us do: drag are cpu's down to the local Cathedral, play the track and capture the natural reverb on cassette recorder.

(stereo's not real either by the way)

Dave, how do you know... [:O]ops:


(welcome back, I missed you!)

A flame war!

Cool. [:D]

Ahhhh, Dave & Nick. You got Mathis all worried. Is'nt that nice [:P]

mathis,

Not to worry. I know all things (related to car waxing.)
Now to listen to your work.

Paul,

Whatever you forgot to say: it better be good.

Nick,

I want you to get help.

It was something about The Beatles and a lady called Astrid. I've forgotton.

Nick is a Green, did you know that?

I'll get Natasha to wax your car Dave, no worries.

[:D]

I believe Nick Phoenix, the other Nick, is a Green. Ralph Nader hasn't been my favorite person recently, so I only eat greens. [:P]

Sorry, wrong again. The actual quote from baseball manager Leo Durocer was, "They're a bunch of nice guys, but I think they're going to finish last."

On the Mozart issue:
If he were alive today, he'd probably be using VSL and certainly would use the string runs and harp glisses as that would save him precious time in the bar or pool hall. I mean....damn....he'd dash off a movement as fast as possible just to get out the door and go and get legless.

How can we possibly respect someone with a substance abuse problem like that? If Mozart admonished me, I'd laugh at him.

Bach however would be a different matter.......

Colin [[;)]]

If he were alive today and working in Los Angeles, he'd have to use VSL because so many budgets are being cut, especially TV, that there's not enough money IN the budget to hire anyone outside the composer and the engineer.

If Mozart were working in Los Angeles (which I do) he would probably be broke, in anguish, and feeling like he was about to keel over (did he sense this early death?)

I somehow feel able to speak for him as I am born 200 years exactly from him (within a few hours) have an identical birth chart, and even had a crowd of people gather around me, so strikingly similar is my profile to his. T-shirts with huge embossed head shots of Beethoven and Mozart being sold in the lobby of a Los Angeles Philharmonic concert: Zubin Mehta's 60th birthday celebration - Berg Vln Cto., Mahler 6th (two of my favorite pieces.) I was staring at the Mozart and a dear old saleslady was staring at me. She shrieked and gathered everyone around. I was actually a little shaken by that.

I do share at least one gift of the great master: versatility (which could mean I can do both polka and disco.) I did recently discover I compose in the same manner (Mozart would write what he knew he wanted in any given part to its end and then go back and write the other parts with and around it. Maybe that's why his melodies are so unhampered and his music "fits" so.)

Just a little silliness on the...

Very Silly Long threads forum.


Dave Connor

sheesh. . .leave town for 3 days and come back to find this monster still raging.

and to think that all i wanted was a pepsi.

Dave,

What have you been smoking? (And where can I get some?)

Ironic that this extremely l - o - n - g thread started about PICCOLO ornaments, don't you think?

BTW get over there to those user demos immediately! Or it's no more long-winded responses to Korngold posts for you!

Let's hope nobody inquires about tuba ornaments...

Darn it Fred, you beat me to the tuba metaphor!

LOL.

Wow, (checking the post times), so he did!

[[;)]]

Evan Evans

William,

"Smokin!" That's a line out of a Jim Carrey movie right?

Btw, I listened to your soprano and orchestra piece today. Lovely. Very sure handed with such genuine orchestral writing.

Okay, I'll drag my modem over to the user demo area.

I only reserve that for 2001 and Yellow Submarine these days. And Dave, do something about your modem. It's like being in the Ice Age!

And John, Guinness looks a lot like Pepsi, but it'll do you a lot more good!

Herrrumph!

Paul,

All to happy to oblige but you'll have to float me a few quid for the new setup.

Before any further negotiations, I do have one question:

What's a quid anyway?

Dave

@"dpcon said:

Do you know, I have no idea where that word originates from, Dave. Where did you get that one from. Mad as a Hatter of course, comes from Alice in Wonderland.

Quid? Quid pro quo? Haven't had much in the way of a few quid for a while.

You'll have to watch Get Carter, I think.

Later
