    It's crap.

    I spent 7 hours sitting on the bog the other day with an acute attack of gastro enteritis - and that's what I more or less sounded like. You could have got a better sound miking me up with some decent recording equipment and cutting it to the scene later.

    Jesus.

    I knew you would love it, that's why I posted it up - just for you mate.

    Boy am I glad I'm not on the receiving end of your razor-sharp Brit tongue Paul [B]

    I must admit I also relished the track enormously (although I'd have to wait for Paul's suggested muck-up/mock-up to compare), particularly the obliggatory Cinescamply upward woodwind run at about .20"... Is there anything that is VSL in there? But I must say, I was impressed with the anvil/hammer sound, what library was that from?

    That's just normal banter for around these here parts Erik. Never want to take it to heart or too seriously and as long you are making money out of rubbish - how can anyone complain?

    I must admit I am not very happy with the woodwinds I currently have (not VSL). I am eagerly waiting for companies like Cinesamples, Audiobro and EW to come up with their woodwinds libraries. I am sure VSL woodwinds is the best you can have at the moment, its a bit too expensive for me to get right now..

    I have layered quite a lot of different things from various sources in the hammer type percussion hits and such.. There is some stuff from Sonokinetic Tutti, Spitfire Percussion and then some Tonehammer percussions..

    IT IS NOT A TOTALLY SMOOTH GLIDE.

    Again, I never said it was.  I simply said that slurs can be done without hitting the partials between the notes, which is absolutely true as shown by the example I posted.  You're the one who compared it to a smooth glide or synth portamento, not me.

    I have to say I'm baffled why you'd even bring up a thread from months ago on a completely unrelated topic.  I'm not interested in debating it all over again, the old topic is still there if anyone wants to go read it.  But if you're going to put words in my mouth I'm going to correct those falsehoods.

    To Errikos:

    GREAT SENTENCE!!! IS IT YOURS????

    Yes, it originated as a comment in one of my polemic posts somewhere in the middle of this thread, and I decided to sport it as my signature in the vein hope that through repetition - as with subliminal messages - people might think thrice about what they are, what they do, how, and who they think they're kidding (including themselves).

    I encourage its flagrant and unlimited proliferation.

    Maybe I didn't understand exactly that sentence, and I was mistaking being ironic. Please consider that messages that are too subliminal can be misunderstood by many people...

    So what is ambiguous about this sentence rendering its understanding difficult? It is its repetition I was comparing to subliminal messages, not the sentence itself. On the contrary, this sentence's/aphorism's message is crystal clear, with no intentional - and I believe no perceivable - irony about it. It means exactly what it says:
