What's new

Show me your instruments!

Hey Rachel,

My wife has the same thing with her clarinet...nowadays we use samples more often than the real thing. I actually recently wrote an oboe and piano piece using VSL's oboe you may be interested in referencing (if looking to add another virtual oboe to your arsenal!)


oh this is truly beautiful, your composition is amazing. The oboe sounds perfect, I wouldn't have played as good hehe, so you are right sometimes it is better to use vst, not always, but sometimes yes ;). Thanks for sharing. Here is one of my compos with 8Dio Claire oboe if you want to listen:

Congratulations on the beautiful piece, and the whole album! The oboe's lyricism shines through and the 8Dio is perfectly suited to the music.

As for using virtual instruments, I actually write everything with the goal of live performance, but love the fact that even if I never get one, I can be reasonably satisified with the virtual performance.

Much continued success, Rachel!

What's in the box? Err, case?

I haven't played one of these in almost a decade!

EDIT: It's probably obvious to some people what it is, but a possible hint is that my dog HATES it.

I’m mainly an in the box composer. But I used to be a professional wind player in another life. Here’s my current, non electronic setup.

That’s a pretty instrument. Strange but true, I’ve always wanted to learn accordion. Polka was big in my community growing up.
 
My drums from a recording session a year or so ago. The setup hasn't changed much since then.
