There are two ways around it though - either you don't use it at all, or you use it until it's a natural part of your workflow and it doesn't get in your way.

If the latter is what you can truly s ...

It's become more and more clear to me that we mean different things when we say "composer". I automatically assumed you need to deliver finished audio. Perhaps because in my world of pop ...

"A few years" is kind of a stretch though.

It is, indeed. I wish I had realized what I realize now, about computers, much sooner. I would have used the time I wasted in far more profitab ...

Oh, and by the way: I truly believe that instead of splashing out on Eastwest libraries, it's a FAR better idea to spend the money on Greenberg's courses.

I promise, whoever does that, will never b ...

here's an interesting article by someone whose lectures I learn a lot from, and he's a top notch composer too. He's what I define a 'real composer' rather than a 'working composer'. Not that a 'workin ...

virtually all of those processes are so much easier on the computer

No, seriously...I respect ...

Epictetus, am I understanding correctly then that you mix and master everything on your workstation? That you score to video using a workstation? That you write your parts by hand for your performers ...

No thanks Laughing

Besides, I already tried most of everything. If I had to choose, I'd choose Kontakt and what ...

ok, thanks. So it means that sf2 has no particular advantage compared to WAV, except for the additional data about basic keymapping having already been done, etc.

I respect your opinion, however I would say you're by far in the minority. I would also like to know how you handle things like spiccato, slurs, runs, accents and legato playing on a workstation. I do ...

The programming/mapping data that goes into an SF2 is pretty minimal compared to the audio data. It's basically a text file that says which sample goes where. I'd be surprised if it'd be over 1kb even ...

and I will also add that Eastwest values their customers as much as someone who works in a supermarket values the cans he's stacking on the shelf. Their demos are impressive, I'll admit that. But so i ...

thanks for your input.

based exclusively on Musicians fingers and
controllers that they are used to work with !

Right on, Anthony. The artificiality and weirdness offered by most software intended for musicians is c ...

also, the Play VST from Eastwest is a right piece of crap. Incredibly rough, basic and primitive. Can't do a damn thing with it, all you can do is load the sound and pan it and raise or lower the volu ...
