Oh yeah. I love to listen that guy talk. His squealing into the microphone cracked me up … several times. AHAHAHAH!!!
The quality of the unreleased score warrants illegal possession. Hopefully those mp3-dogs won’t come sniffin’ around my place anytime soon.
… Until her knight in shining armor appeared on a bright white stallion to make her at ease once again (me, of course).
Once you start listening to Elfman’s scores, you’ll find it hard to listen to the music of most other contemporary film composers. Almost everything else is so bland in comparison! /fanboy remark.
I also hated the theatre I watched Corpse Bride in. The volume was too damn low. I could hear the audience noise better than I could the dialogue at times.
There have always been bad movies catered to the masses. There are great directors out there with great movies. You just have to look a bit harder to find some of them.
Pay no heed all of those misinformed, mentally handicapped individuals that claim Shirly Walker co-wrote the Batman score, because it’s not true!
The choir sounds bloody excellent, in my opinion. It might be a bit bloated for my computer. All of these new sample packages are becoming SO bloated! I find it hard to work with bloatedness.
I LOVE VSL to death. I think everything is worth the money, definitely. You might want to check out other brass libraries, as VSL’s weakness (if you’d call it that) is in the brass samples. Check out my page if you’d like: http://www.nigel.has.it. I use mainly VSL for my orchestra compositions, so you can get an idea of how they sound. Good luck!
I know some theory, but I mainly compose by ear and never write my stuff down. I find there’s no point at the moment because I don’t have access to a real orchestra.
Actually, I’ve read quite the opposite about Logic and it’s sampler. I’ve read that it’s better and easier to use than Gigastudio. But I don’t know. I use Sonar.
I wouldn’t worry about getting 2 computers right now. If you’ve got enough ram (1 gig should do for a while) and a good processor, you should be good to go.
