so is this like vst's of different instruments and things, rather then or in addition to sound recordings, or just some huge collection of the latter?

the quality of your work is already wonderful.
(what i can hear with the limited range of what i have to play it back on)

Thank you for the kind words!

It's a library of high-quality sound samples of orchestral instruments, recorded in all articulations. I don't own any products from them yet, but usually, the samples are not 'accessible' so that you could just help yourself and use them in any way you wish. They include a VST plugin though which I can use in my DAW and basically configure it to play those samples for me.

So, the result should be that I can replace my existing library (Garritan) with the new one, giving my tracks a more realistic and possibly less 'ah, that's computer made, the strings sound a bit cheap'-kind of touch.

Heh

That is great! It looks like Your music will be evem much more awesome!
Mrawr

* even much more awesome

Well, thank you for the kind words, too!

I admit I've been struggling with the distributor to get that thing delivered to me on time; but right now things aren't looking to bad so I could get my paws on it even tonight - if I'm lucky.

It's not my lucky day, it seems. Tommorrow will be the day.

Congratulations! You'll have so much fun!

If it's only half as much fun as I had trying to get that packet shipped to me from Germany to Switzerland, then I'll be busy for years!

I'm really looking forward to it, and I'm going to try and snag that announced +favourite from you here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/338...../#cid:25958065

Germany? But I thought VSL is produced by an Austrian company... not that that would be much better in terms of postage.
And my guess is that you're not only going to snag my +fav...

VSL is produced in Austria, yes, but they forward orders to the 'closest' distributors. My order went to bestservice.de in Germany. Even though I had some initial struggle, I need to say the company lives up to its name, they've done an awful lot to ensure I'd have it on the week-end, finally ending up in them calling back a DHL delivery, and sending it again via UPS express courier.

Listened to Disederium, and I think it was well worth the investment, considering the skill you've demonstrated with it already ^^.

Thank you! I'm really more than just happy with that investment; mostly because it allows me to do things I didn't *want* to do before.

It can be frustrating when you have some music in your head, you write it down, and you figure out it just sounds horrible because you don't happen to have an orchestra at your disposal, and the (rather inexpensive) library you used before would simply produce a result that makes you cross your eyes, and rewrite the passage to something simpler.

Also, thanks again for the watch & the favourites; while it's always wonderful to receive feedback and comments, I've never really wanted to bother people by "advertising" my works - with the exception of some friends I regularily notify, because I know they'd like to listen, and don't use FA. So, that might explain why the "Watched by" list here isn't *that* long.

I have friends who would love your music...I wouldn't just spam everyone's page with links *chuckles*. I just think that there are a lot of people on FA who would love your music, but just haven't found you yet ^^.

Hell, I would never have found you if I hadn't hit the main page at just the right time to catch one of your songs on it =P. And I'm definitely glad I did ^^.
