    For those of you who make a living with composing or music in general....

    Aren't we lucky bastards ??? [:)]

    My schedule is about to go crazy again so my week of rest is over (and xmas is right around the corner, Damn it !!) ...but hey, chatting with everyone here at the forum is a lot of fun...

    I will miss you suckas...and will try to keep an eye on this thread because I heard its been nominated for ...Best Thread of the ..week !!...

    then again...there is always the computer crash...where one can check out the forum in between ...

    Keep up the constructive criticizm....and don't forget: Music is supposed to be fun. You could be working 9-5 at the local Bank...(ah,..instead of 8am-4am in the studio..hm..9-5 might not be soo bad after all...if I think about it..)

    Be back lata...

    By the way...how do you post an mp3 on this forum ?

    Since we can talk about sounds until we're dead - I decided why not just let the music speak for itself....

    but I need somebodys help to post it...basically, I have taken the same four bars and let a bunch of libraries play - you can decide for yourself what sounds warm and what doesn't...

    I have an mp3 and a screenshot of logic so everybody can see what 's going on.

    Only if you are interested... Oh, out fo fairness I won't say which other ibraries are in use...its besides the point anyways...

    lemme know...

    Actually, putting an MP3 here is something I also would like to know how to do.


    I have some cool helicopter sounds... [:P]

    So now that all are so relieved that everything is back to music, as opposed to sarcasm...

    WHAT THE HELL WAS THE POINT OF THIS THREAD?

    (That's no sarcasm by the way. A simple question.)

    Thor and his obedient disciple here have made no points whatsoever. The room sound is bad, the room sound is o.k. VSL is bad, VSL is good. EWQLSO is better, EWQLSO is not better -----

    what is your point? You have said absolutely nothing with many, many words. Say something meaningful. That is a simple, direct challenge for you. Say something that means something about music, samples, etc. Don't waffle, don't bullshit, just say something that has something which linguists call DENOTATION. Or SENTIENCE. Or THOUGHT PROCESSES...

    There were rare exceptions like the Vienna oboe which everyone complained about

    NOOOO..... I do love the Viennese oboe! [:D] (at least not everyone then hehe [H] )

    Well, there you go and I wouldn't disagree. Nothing wrong with the instrument or the samples and I understand you loving it. My main point was that VSL responds to it's customers when there's even a percieved problem or even just an earnest request. The fact that there was no French Oboe which many are used to was the issue - not the quality of the samples etc.

    BLACK or WHITE ! Well. to me everything is a bit more complex than that, sorry if that's too complicated for you.
    I'll try to be more ONE AND ONLY OPINION WRITTEN IN CAPITAL LETTERS...ok ?

    btw, where is the post where I say EWQLSO is better ....? ...hm...where do I say that VSL (as a whole) is bad ?? ...

    I haven't seen anything that has something which linguists call DENOTATION. Or SENTIENCE. Or THOUGHT PROCESSES...coming from you Sir William...

    I don't know if I'm about to go off-topic, but my point of view is that VSL guys came out with a product clearly conceived to replace, at least in most cases, a real orchestra.

    I watched again the Universal Mode video: Synful is too limited for a comparison. For now, apart from VSL there are no other digital orchestras playable in real-time.

    Honestly speaking, it doesn't seem an insignificant innovation...

    Just one comment regarding one poster's so delicate style...cough! cough!

    I think we all have the right to occasionally loose it and get out of line. I have done so. But when someone constantly harasses the same people post after post that is carrying it too far! People have the right to their own opinion on this forum. Say what you have to say but no need to get arrogant! Please respect that!

    Guy - I just don't think it's necessary to keep going over old ground - over and over and over and over again.

    And btw - I've seen many posts from people who say they want to post an MP3 example of this or that sound or piece of music. 99% of the time it's usually OK at best - but generally a disappointment at worst. MP3 examples don't prove anything with regard to what's been posted on this thread.

    Not at all my dear fellow.

    Jeez, I can't even remember what this thread is about and I sure ain't reading through it again.

    I got sent a piece from a friend of mine in France - oh - about 4 weeks or so ago. Real orchestra recording.

    Believe me, this was some serious sounding music. Honestly, MP3's of sampled material AFAIC - CAN impress me insomuch as the programming. I've heard just about every John Williams clone going since sample libraries were invented for instance. John Williams impresses me - but JW soundalikes don't. Their programming does - but that's another thing altogether.

    You will now, because you are top 1% - seriously need to come out with something extra special now old chap. If it comes out sounding like HZ - I may put out a contract on you.

    [:P] [:D]

    Guy: Who died and made you Queen of the Forum? I'll write anything I feel like. Especially if it irritates you. End of that part of discussion.

    Thor: Well, I notice yet again - absolutely nothing of substance. And yet I asked what was your point. You answered with more nothingness. Apparently, I must assume your point is a very modern one: possibly Deconstructionist, in that nothing - no text, no statement, no possible point of view - means anything in reality. This is only an assumption of course. Based upon your very Deconstructed writings.

    Paul: yes, the JW clones are extremely disturbing and in fact should probably be subjected to intense de-programming, involving regular electroshock therapy reducing them to drooling wrecks whose only mental activity consists of repeating the statement over and over again:

    "I will stop copying John Williams' use of the II chord with a raised third over a tonic pedal point especially if it involves spiccato violins."

    "I will stop copying John Williams' use of the II chord with a raised third over a tonic pedal point especially if it involves spiccato violins."

    "I will stop copying John Williams' use of the II chord with a raised third over a tonic pedal point especially if it involves spiccato violins."

    "I will stop copying John Williams' use of the II chord with a raised third over a tonic pedal point especially if it involves spiccato violins."
