Hi! I really love your work with this library! It made me buy it :D Is there a reason why you're still using the Motu 828 ? And could you recommend one as I'm about to set up my little studio.

@AlexInnoMusic Thank you and glad I was able to help out! :)

The reason I still have my MOTU 828 is because I tried another card which totally failed ... however I already got one of those new Steinberg devices in mind but didn't have the chance to care about that now ...

Love your work! What sound card are you using?

@Panimala Thank you! MOTU 828 Mk1

Hi alex! (ich hoffe, es stört dich nicht, das ich dich mit du anrede, wenn doch, tut mir sehr leid )

Ich denke darüber nach entweder OE oder Albion zu kaufen....was würdest du empfehlen? Ich hab schon viele demos, reviews, videos zu beiden geschaut/gehört/gelesen, und finde, dass beide sehr gut klingen. Nur frage ich mich, ob man Albion auch für richtig bombastische stücke nutzen kann? Es erschien mir eher vom etwas weicheren typ zu sein, während OE mehr IN YOUR FACE ist. Was meinst du?

[alexpfefferdotnet]

@KnSOrchestral Kein Thema, ich dutz eh jeden :)

Also um ehrlich sein, hängt es von dir ab, wie du etwas bombastisch hinbekommst. Nur weil z.B. ein Trombonesample nicht "pratzt" heisst das nicht, dass es nicht gross klingen kann. Epischen noblen "Mörderbrass" wirst du z.B. bei keiner kleineren Ensemble Samplelibrary finden - soviel ist sicher ... deshalb kosten die grösseren oder detailreicheren Pakete ja auch ihr Geld!

Generell aber würde ich dir nur eins raten. Benutze einfach deine Ohren! :)

Delightful and informative. I enjoyed your insights. That piece makes me want to drive fast.

@alexpfefferdotnet No no, I'm selling off some old sound equipment I don't use anymore and was wondering if this was worth getting having already gotten HSO. But thank you for your response.

At the moment I just arrange existing music - trying to get into composing but I have difficulty actually starting a piece and getting it underway, I can't seem to get my ideas from brain to sequencer. But will keep trying!

[alexpfefferdotnet]

@birdsofafeather1990 Thanks a lot! I am not sure if I got you right. You are saying that you have Halion Orchestra but you wanna sell it and get Albion instead? To be honest I never got into the Halion Orchestra stuff .. however you should be aware that Albion is a ensemble library and not enabling you to have e.g. access to Violins 1 or Violas etc. ... but in the end it is just sounding awesome!!

at 19:39 reminds me of the very end of Peter Gabriel's "Red Rain" (when the drums stop) there is pink noise that you don't notice until it stops. You made nice use of this effect. I like your sound choices very much.
