Welcome rbowser - Our Newest Moderator

[Garritan]

I am pleased to welcome Randy as our newest moderator of the Garritan Forums. )(~ )(~ )(~

As many of you have seen over the months, Randy has been quite active and extremely helpful to other members.

He seemed to be a de facto moderator and it seemed only natural to bestow the title. His positive and pleasant manner has been a real credit to this forum

It is a real privilege to have Moderator Randy among us! :)

Gary Garritan

[jsp2]

Congrats, Randy!

I'll agree with Gary on being a credit to the forum.
Certainly one of the most helpful and courteous members of this community.

Congratulations once again Randy......but remember, "With great power comes great responsibility"! :D

Congrats... and a bit of condolences, as I know some of us can be a bit of a headache at times! ;)

Take two aspirin and keep up the good work.

Gary,

Being a member of this Northern Sounds group of musicians has blessed me with a constant string of very good things--Camaraderie, access to great original music, stimulating discussions, and very fun surprises one after the other.

And this is the topper. I'm so pleased you see me as a moderator here at the Forums, and I'm even more pleased to say Yes and help out in this capacity.

It's an honor to be associated with the Garritan Corporation and this great online community.

Thank you!

That's why people never let me be a moderator on forums anymore. I always submit the communist manifesto under that name.

They upgrade me to administrator instead. :D

[rpearl]

Randy,

You must be able to do this now that your musical will ensure that you are independently wealthy:D :D :D

Congratulations! You make this a better place, and while I have no idea what a Moderator does, I am sure you will bring the sense of tact, decency, and generosity that you bring to all your posts.

All the best!

Congrats, Randy. Now it's official!

[reberclark]

Congratulations Randy! I've been reading the boards for awhile now and you are consistently one of the most tactful, artful, fair-handed, even-tempered people on this thing. It is always a pleasure to read your posts. Additionally I believe you are a great teacher. Happy moderating!

and remember:

"Everything in moderation - including moderation."

[jmc]

Congrats Randy, you have been doing a great job so far. Keep up the fantastic work!

[wrayer]

I second OldBob, congrats and you certainly make a fine moderator!

[rbowser-]

Thanks, CJ Pro, Rpearl, Haydn, Oldbob, Leaf, Reberclark, JMC, Ernstinen* and Wrayer!

It's such a cool surprise that Gary asked me to do this.

He's assured me that all I need to do is:

--once an hour run the Forums through a "forbidden word filter"
--to delete posts that don't mention a Garritan product at least once
--to publicly humiliate anyone who says anything negative about Native Instruments
--to ban anyone who doesn't reply to Gary's funny picture threads
--to ask anyone posting music which is just too good to have some consideration and quit putting up such great stuff (OK now, Christophe?!?)
--to ban anyone who uses the word "genius" when replying to a musical post in The Listening Room
--and to demand more posts are put up in the technical Forums since not enough people seem to be having complicated problems using Garritan Libraries.

Other than that, I can just keep doing what I do.

AngryForumMember: Gpo sucks. You should all die in a fire!

(rbowser): Welcome AngryForumMember! It's always nice to see new
members expressing their opinions, especially so passionately.
We here at the GPO forums very much appreciate all kinds of opinions
and you have certainly given us a lot to think about.

Now having said that, I wonder if your bold comments might be a
little bit derivative? I often hear people saying 'This sucks' or
'That sucks'. And don't you think that 'die in a fire' has become
a bit of an internet forum cliché?

Of course, that may have been your intention in which case I must
say that you have succeeded slendidly. Otherwise, you might want
to consider using a thesaurus or other online literary resource to add some
variety to your otherwise very expressive first posting.

Once again, thank you for sharing this. It certainly made me sit up
and take notice. I look forward to your next post.

* Brian2112? who?


Well I guess that means I'm banned since I often use the word genius in the listening room.

Noun: genius (geniuses, genii) jeenyus

1. Someone who has exceptional intellectual ability and origionality
"Mozart was a child genius:
2. Unusual mental ability
3. Someone who is dazzlingly skilled in any field.

4. Exceptional creative ability
5. A natural talent "he has a genius for interior decorating" [but he would rather write music]

OK FOR YOU SAmantha--You just now used the "G" word around 7 times!---You know what THAt means!

Glad to see you were picked for this. Gary made an excellent choice!

Moderator Randy, congrats! )(~

I somehow knew that something of the sort would happen sooner or later.
I don't know what a moderator has to do here... but I'm sure we'll find out sooner or later... ~|

Happy Moderation! :D

[rbowser-]

Thanks, Sean! - I'll catch you later at the official Moderator's water bubbler--We can gossip and swap Moderator tips.

And thank you, Michael_uk - Glad to hear you'll be watching out! When in doubt about something you're about to post, just re-call that picture of me with the whip!

It's OK, David "Et Lux" - I checked up on the use of "WOOT!"--and kanazo is safe--his language has passed inspection.

Raymond--hehe--You know, once in awhile people mistakenly type my name as "Browser"--Maybe I should just change it!

Aziraphal, yes I have been given my official memory eraser thingie--and I know how to use it!

And Jamie "Skysaw" - Thanks much.

We be having fun. :)

I guess there is no one who has exceptional intellectual ability and origionality, or unusual mental ability, or Someone who is dazzlingly skilled in any field, with exceptional creative ability or A natural talent on this forum!

Since I know that these are the qualities of a genius then I really should not be using this word to discribe the accomplishments of fellow forum members.

[Leaf]

Wow, moderator for only one day and you already found Brian2112.:wow:

I think you must have had some help from Samantha the genius.

[rbowser-]

As if I needed more evidence, once again these Garritan Forums at Northern Sounds show themselves to be The best bulletin boards on the net--bar none!

Good to see you here, Larry, Leaf, Ern--And BRian!

Samantha!--Teasing! You know, levity, humor, ar ar--! Pardon me if you have felt tweaked. :D

Well, but if you want the word "genius" to be a serious topic for a moment, I feel it's a Way over-used word which has lost its meaning, best left in text books perhaps. I think there's abundant evidence that this group of musicians/composers on the Garritan Forums is an incredibly talented one--That's all I know. Every day is a constant flow of excellent music from dedicated people--It's wonderful. I certainly know that much!

Randy B.
(rbowser)

[rbowser-]

LOL! Yeah, Ern, coincidence.

When I was younger it kind of BUrned Me Up that Bowser of Sha Na Na beat me to the punch, and used my name before I had a chance to get rich and famous too! HOW many times did I have friends tease me, doing that famous Bowser pose---ack! I guess he actually spelled his name with a "Z" though?

And then another annoying thing about my family name, I remember in school, I had this collection of "Bowser Bags"--what restaurants used to hand out for meal left overs. HOW many friends thought they were being original, giving me one of those as a gag gift.

OH well---Woof Woof and http://www.variety.buffnet.net/graphics/2005_cast/bowzer.jpg

Not a serious topic but a fun topic. The only thing that I take seriously on this forum is the valubale information and knowledge I gain from it emembers about GPO, Finale, Sonar, reverb, altiverb, principles of orchestration etc. All the rest is just part of the levity, humor and fun that can be had here as well.

As far as the use or over use of any word remains a matter of opinion. However I do respect your opinion regarding this word in question. What I hope is that you will also respect my wish to use the word as I see fit.

The only reason I mentioned the word is because you introduced it in this thread and I saw it as an opportunity to use the medium of levity, humor and fun to participate in the thread.

This will be my last response to this post on this subject. So, that being said I think it is time to let it go and offer use the word congratulation on your new post as moderator. I know that as moderator you will not have any trouble expression yourself to other forum members.

[rbowser-]

Thanks for the welcome, Samantha!

I was in especially good spirits yesterday, and was joking around, teasing Gary, myself, Everyone--I am sorry if any of my joking backfired. You are certainly not the only person who feels comfortable using the word "genius" and I didn't have you or anyone particular in mind when I threw that joke in. My teasing was in a general way poking fun at when any of us take ourselves too seriously. I'm sorry that I seem to have pushed your buttons.

These are wonderful bulletin boards, with a great mix of people and personalities, and you are certainly a valued member of the community, Samantha. I look forward to hearing more music from you!

Watch out for the time spent on the bulletin board, though. I used to do the moderating/administrating thing for a large nursing bulletin board. I'm now retired from that responsibility. It was very rewarding and quite cool being part of a team to help make the nursing bulletin board a pleasant, safe, informative and friendly place for nurses to visit. But there were days when I spent HOURS and HOURS doing the moderating thing. This was time that could have spent writing music, taking out the garbage, vacuuming dust-bunnies off the floor, spending time with the wife, going to the bathroom, eating and sleeping! :wow: :wow: LOL! It's a great volunteer job. And I know that you will be quite helpful to the membership here. But moderating can almost become quite addicting sometimes. LOL! :)

Warm regards,

Ted

Belated congratulations, Randy )(~ !

(Too much work recently - am only just catching up with the forum...).

Presumably you manage to compose so prolifically and offer excellent advice to so many people because you have espoused the Metric Calendar - 100 hours to a day, 10 days a week, 10 weeks a month - as otherwise what you do would NOT be humanly feasible. That being the case, it's obviously no trouble at all to add moderating to your list ! Seriously though - moderation in all things... make sure you leave time for yourself and your own music. Tis well worth it !

All the very best -

The updater to GPO Sibelius ed. is now posted on the Sibelius web site help center page. Dan @ Sibelius has already told me that this is the update I have been waiting for. YIPPIE!!! haow ever his answer also left me with a question......
My question to him was: the updater I am looking for would free the GPO Sibelius ed. into a free stand alone version GPO that can be used in my Sonar 4 studio version......
Dan's Reply was: This is true........it will.....all I have to do is go into my c drive:programs:Sibelius: and then copy the Kontact2.dll file into my vst folder that sonar uses for plug ins.........(I understand this so I think to myself no problem)
My question to you is....when you work in sonar (and I know that you have the home version which you make scream!!!!!!) how do you make say a violin play,,,, do you go into the FX bin and then plug in the kontact player and then look in the gpo folder for the violin?????? or do you just go into the fx bin and look in the gpo folder and select the violin????

I am a little unsure of hoe this is done and since I know that YOU are now (and always will be) THE EXPERT, I knew that you could help me....he he he!!

and you know if this works then I will be able to get to the place that was my first intention....Sonar for recording.......sibelius for music notation and GPO for plug in sounds.............ohhhh hhhaaapppppyyyy day!!! No more dry sounds........I will be able to use reverb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! and delay

as always thank you for your help and inspiration

PS....I know that this reply does not fit this thread.........I tried to PM you and your msg box is full and will not accept any more msgs...........to any one I offend because of this reply............Please accept my apoligies.......I am sorry........I do not mean to....I did sincerly try the other way first........but then again this question my just help someone else on this board.........

Hey, Cliff - Sorry about the PM box being full. I wish I could turn that option off so people just have to use my email--that's my preference. The PM is full of messages I don't want to throw out.
