Bach was absolutely not right about everything all along.
You are confusing him with my wife....
owever, I notice that when I start going down the rabbit hole of researching alternatives to VSL, I always am left feeling overwhelmed, confused, and/or insecure about my own abilities.
Your stuff is one of the main reasons I got into VSL. Always top class, always a good listen and I learn something from them every time. Class act.
Those comments are the reason I left this thread. I expected more, not from their dull uninspiring music, but as a fellow musician.

Reading people saying stuff like, "I've only heard 2 composers that have done good work with VSL", when I've heard literally dozens upon dozens that have, makes me wonder if I'm completely out to lunch.
Am I one of those dull and uninspiring composers that more was expected from?

Hello Dear Villain.
I certainly hope that my lack of enthusiasm for the VSL sound would not have any impact on your own confidence in its continued use, unless you found that it led you to feel differently yourself. We can only go by what our own ears tell us.
I would also like to draw attention to the fact that, while I never said anything about the fundamental quality of the music itself that others have done with VSL, nor the character of those people, yours included, some others in this thread felt the need to make the discussion about that, or about "talking out of one's ass." I see by your "likes" that you seem to endorse this kind of attitude, but I implore you to reconsider the net value to the human endeavour of such crass personal escalations of differences in opinion.
Interesting. I can't see that working for the sort of stuff I write even if my keyboard skills were up to it, as the rhythmic and expressive complexity is too great. Kind of the whole point for me of scoring music using notation is that you go beyond the idea of the keyboard and one's own technical capacity and instead imagine the specialist skills of each instrumentalist and their vertical combination.If you're writing with notation software, I'd advise printing out the music, then use it as a guide to actually play each part in your DAW. You will never get satisfying results from machine playback.
