Re: [motm] Modular Synth Emulating Symphony Orch - MP3 Demo

2006-09-20 by Stephen Drake

It sounds great! I can tell there was a ton of effort put into it, and
the sum of all your fussiness sounds very realistic. As a professional
orchestral musician, it doesn't exactly make me fear for my job, but
it's still an excellent version.

There's been quite a lot of hoop-de-doo in the orchestral musicians
mailing lists over the claims that virtual orchestras and samplers are
going to replace live musicians. Personally, I think it's balderdash.
I've listened to a few of the sampled orchestral renditions of
symphonic works, and they generally stink. Your effort is actually a
lot more realistic sounding than most of them! So keep up the good
work!
