That's kind of a 'screw yourself if you do, screw yourself if you don't' situation

Must also learn to accept that the vast majority of legato is and will continue to be sub-optimal at best, and in most cases unusable, for the rest of our simulation

From @Double Helix via PM:
6. Do I have to pay any attention whatsoever to anything a VI-C member posts? No, but you're screwing yourself.
I would agree but amend this to:
6. Do I have to pay any attention whatsoever to anything a VI-C member posts? No, but consider the source.
And not to say I'm worthy or anyone specifically is worthy, just consider the post history and source and take it into account. Anonymous posts such as myself are super sketchy.

8. Do I have to make obligatory “very excited” and “on the edge of silence” jokes in every Spitfire Audio teaser thread? No, but you’re screwing yourself

9. If my EPIC track feels right, but still needs work, do I have to wait to share it on VI-C? No, but you’re screwing yourself.

Use the modwheel, Luke!
You forgot: does library x work nicely with library y?

Do I need to know every frickin' sample library abbreviation in order to know what the hell people are talking about over here? No, but you're screwing yourself.

Something like a David Fairclough.....
Do I need to up my tolerance to booze? (or is it different these days?)

I’d wager it’s still better to screw yourself than not getting screwed at all.

Do I need to use terms like ‘mic positions’, ’128 gb of ram’, ´fortissimo’ and ‘I have 25 similar libraries, do I need this’, to look like an important composer?

No. But a Mel Gibson avatar does help!

Only one I'm not totally on board with is Omni. I'm rarely satisfied with it. I spend way too long slogging through endless sounds that aren't what I'm looking for. Part of what i look for in samples is the ability to open it up and feel like i know exactly what I'll get out of it and how to achieve it. Can't seem to get to that point with Omni.

When life gives you lemons, swap 'em for mangos
You could sell it. However, eventually (and sure as night follows day) you'll realise that in doing so you did indeed screw yourself.

I kinda feel the same @Casiquire , I'm a much bigger fan of Zebra and Diva to achieve sounds than Omni. I imagine we're still screwing ourselves though, because people will read these opinions and they will find ways to screw us for our lack of faith...

I think in the future I'll be buying more third party sounds for it just for the sake of knowing exactly where to find each sound I'm looking for.

I used to feel that way - there's a lot in there that is very high bandwidth, or has way too much going on, or really loud, so it doesn't fit in a mix. There are a lot of great things in there, it just takes a while to find it. The patches from The Unfinished though are great for scoring and have a really high hit rate for me.
