most of the high-end vsts are not accessible. their interfaces are bit-mapped and jaws can't even scratch them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Tyo" <mtyo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Bryan,I know there's been a lot of discussion on what is and isn't accessible these days, and you're a good resource on this stuff. How much of this high-end software is accessible to where we can really work with it and be as fiercely competitive with anyone else? I understand that one can have a ton of money tied up in these libraries and plug-ins. For me personally, I want to be able to do as much with this stuff as possible; but I'm a bit leery about sinking money and/or going into debt with all of this, only to do a fraction of what's possible with these plug-ins.Mike----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Smart" <bryansmart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, August 16, 2010 12:52 Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Akai samplesYes; most of the current generation workstation keyboards have pretty decent orchestral sounds, particularly when compared to what was typical, say, 10 years ago.However, the bar is much higher now. Most Hollywood films are scored with software now, and I bet that you couldn't even notice. Huge libraries from EWQL and others are used, and most of those composers use a master computer running a DAW (serving as a sequencer), with slave systems just running softsynths. Your total synth farm might consist of 5 machines in an average setup. This is needed to have enough processing power to completely mimic a full orchestral arrangement in real-time, with all sections, solo instruments, and all articulations of the above. The new libraries, under the control of a skilled composer/sequencer, sound absolutely as real as you'd want.Bryan PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
