[Alan Russell]

Hello ALL,

I\'d like to take the time to thank Northernsounds.com for this extraordinary prize.
Since the 1960\'s I\'ve spent my musical career arranging pop songs. This wonderful gift form the Gods will allow me to venture into writing something orchestral which is something I\'ve wanted to do for a very long time. For those who know me through Northernsounds and other forums, thank you for your continued support.

Thank you Papa Chalk!!

Alan Russell

Feels good.... don\'t it.

Alan HAS WON FREE


<center> <font size=\"+2\"> East West Symphonic Orchestra </font></center>
<center>THE COMPLETE SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA LIBRARY </center>
<center>VOLUME ONE - STRINGS
VOLUME TWO - WOODWINDS
VOLUME THREE - BRASS
VOLUME FOUR - PERCUSSION</center>

ewso.gif
The EASTWEST / QUANTUM LEAP SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA was recorded where orchestral instruments sound their most natural - in a ‘state of the art’ concert hall.

Listen to the pure beauty of the \"critically acclaimed\" Symphonic Orchestra and \"state of the art\" 125 million dollar Concert Hall that were captured, using custom built recording equipment, by audio legend - Prof. Keith O. Johnson - recipient of two GRAMMYS, plus eight additonal GRAMMY nominations for his 90 plus Classical Recordings.

This is the first 24-bit orchestral sample library to include three simultaneous stereo mic setups (close, stage and hall), so users can mix together any combination of mic positions to control tonality and ambience.
A major benefit of this recording philosophy is the tonal control the three simultaneous stereo tracks provide. Users can literally alter the tone and ambience of any instrument or section by incrementally moving out from the close mics, to the stage mics, to the hall mics (an audio zoom) in real-time!

This \"virtual repositioning of the listener\" in a concert hall environment offers a surprising amount of tonal control, virtually eliminating the need for EQ; and the ambient control, using any combination of these three stereo tracks, eliminates the need for artificial reverb (which usually sounds artificial).

You can create the sound \"you\" want. With other orchestral libraries, you get what they give you, and apart from adding reverb and EQ, you have virtually no control over the sound of the instruments. The control of tonality and ambience in the EASTWEST / QUANTUM LEAP SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA enables each user to \"design\" the sound of the orchestra to suit the work that is being created - no other orchestral collection offers this!

<center>NO SAMPLER REQUIRED! </center>
Each volume comes as a VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT which includes a high-performance NATIVE INSTRUMENTS interface powered by the efficient KONTAKT audio engine, including Direct-from-Disk*, for Mac and PC (*With freely-downloadable Direct-from-Disk extension).

Alan was the only one that answered my post the other day .
And then he wins this prize.
One might speculate , that maybe I put in a good word on his behalf to the sample gods.
Let that be a lesson to the rest of you. images/icons/grin.gif images/icons/grin.gif images/icons/grin.gif

[Netvudu]

I don´t even know you Kenn, but I always said you are the best images/icons/grin.gif

[Alan Russell]

To all that responded,

thank you so much for your kind thoughts. May you all receive a wonderful gift such as this in the not too distant future. I\'ve got a long journey ahead of me and I\'m sure I\'ll put these 4 volumes to use throughout the years to come.

Thanks again NorthernSound Artists!

[Kona]

I\'m new to this forum. I know Alan from the Yamaha motif forum and have a great interest in Orchestral Composition using computers and samplers. I have no experience at sampling but have the equipment ready to start. Congrats Alan on your win images/icons/wink.gif and may God help you compose and create beautiful masterpeaces. Peace

[Garius]

[P de Caumette]

Congrats Alan,

looking forward to bebop with strings...

[Alan Russell]

Patrick de Caumette,

this could get very interesting..I mean C. Parker (Bird) did record with the strings. Remember those cuts..like \"Just Friends\" I am going to have to bridge Jazz and orchestral with these volumes in some way to be perfectly honest..
There will be a a way!

Thanks again..

Alan Russell
