Fixed the paragraphs.
Rob, I'm glad someone agrees with me, even to a point. I know that you know I was not referring to guys like you; I've heard your stuff and I can tell that you are asking for functionality and efficiency, as opposed to crutches/prosthetics. Also, I agree that "no library will make poop smell any differently" - as yet! My problem is that with so many people entering the industry with ill-advised confidence (just listen to all those cloned demos in all those websites...) and somehow getting work, the public - and most importantly directors and producers - slowly but surely are just getting used to that 'smell', just like when you visit a farm. Not that this could ever be called great, or even good music, but I'm so afraid that it could become the acceptable standard, especially when software is increasingly getting better all the time at covering inadequacy.
I would just like to repeat, that characterless, generic musical blocks such as scales, scale-arpeggios, bariolage, harmonic glissandi, etc., that are most difficult to reproduce with single-note samples, are most welcome and will immediately find their way into my shopping basket.
