Well, I just got a copy of Vienna Special Edition (EWQL was tempting but I really wanted to be able to start with dry sounds and really have control over nuances, even if it meant not sounding great right away 'out of the box'), and I'm just exploring it now and getting used to the different layout. It gives you so much control, which is awesome, but it means I have alot of parameters to tweak/functions to map to my keyboard... it may be awhile before I really feel like I have some real control over the program. But to start I thought I'd give it a test drive, so here's a somewhat random smattering of styles in a shorter track, though a battle feel seems to prevail through most of it.

I was really happy with how it sounded in comparison to Garritan, and thought I'd try something I'd never have been able to pull off before, so near the very end at 3:50 I threw in some big Hollywood-orchestra hits, and I'm so excited with how it came out! I think there's alot of cool sounds I can get out of this program, once I have a better feel for it.

Feedback always appreciated!!
