[quote name='jakenewmanbass' timestamp='1379965589' post='2218915'] [size=4]It was an absolute pleasure to play, mostly because every detail of the orchestration had been thought about.... Makes all the difference even with that small an ensemble.[/size] [/quote] Great when that happens, you can play everything with solid confidence, and know everyone else will be 'on it' as well. Good one mate. Glad some folks might find the site useful.

What ho ! What's going on in the Jazz club then ? In the red corner, a German style bow, and in the blue corner, a French style bow.

Just been doing some work for someone, and I had to revisit some Orchestration techniques before I made an Ass of myself, and thankfully this site came in useful. So if you want to do some serious Orchestral orchestration study - This site is for you. It's from the Rimsky Korsakov books, but it is laid out very well with all the Audio examples. Each section can be taken at your own pace, or just pick sections out at random. It's all pretty serious stuff.

Sleeping is a complete waste of time, and is expensive. I was born in 1957 and have never been to bed to sleep. The money I have saved on beds, pyjamas and cornflakes is pretty amazing.

Carol did ok with a pick. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9idtdWAAEA&list=PLEF9252D63177D537"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9idtdWAAEA&list=PLEF9252D63177D537[/url]

In the 50/60's Monk Montgomery did ok (great) with it, he seemed to get that natural decay and lovely thick round tone of an Upright, he was also a good DB player that could swing nicely, which helped...but yep, they are few and far between. Garry

Most freebies (not all) are usually just .dll files that don't need registration, and they can be dragged and dropped anywhere you want, but on a lot of 3rd party VST/VSTi's that come with libraries and presets, the .dll will only install from the original disc. [size=4]Mainly because you have to do the serial number/challenge and response/iLok thing before it will go any further[/size] [size=4]Or in the case of Native Instruments, the service centre thing.[/size] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZfT2T1wRzo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZfT2T1wRzo[/url]

One will be 32 bit version plugs (x86) the other of course x64 versions. Some Vsts/Vsti's install a Vst3 version as well. If Reaper can handle VST3's, they will be in ..... [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]C:\Program Files\[b]Commonfiles[/b]\Vst3\ (for 64 bit)[/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]C:\Program Files(x86)\[b]Commonfiles[/b]\Vst3\ (for 32 bit)[/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]But a DAW that can handle Vst3, usually locates the Vst3 folders/files automatically.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]Garry[/size][/font][/color]

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1379617109' post='2214967'] [size=4]C:\Program Files\VstPlugins is where the 64 bit plugins are installed by default.[/size] C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins are where the 32 bit plugins are installed by default. I'd highly recommend sticking to these locations. [/quote] It's worth a mention that sometimes... If a VST or VSTi has an installer, it will sometimes use or create a folder called Steinberg. So it would be... C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins (for 64 bit) Then direct your DAW to that folder as well as \VstPlugins, and scan/re-scan both folders. Garry

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1379008863' post='2207730'] That's awesome mate. So what's the trick in getting noticed? I guess using the correct/appropriate tags? [/quote] Possible, but more than likely having more Media friendly cues, as opposed to song format - But who knows, pot luck I suppose.
