Abbreviations

[rendleman]

I have been reading the message board for almost a year, but this is my first post. Could someone please provide a list of abbreviations used for the various sound libraries? Although some are obvious, it can be quite confusing to read the messages if you do not know what the abbreviations mean.

Hi Richard
For starters:

MV = Miroslav Vitous
GOS = Garritan Orchestral Strings
VSL = Vienna Symphonic Library
AO = Siedlaczek\'s Advanced Orchestra
DDSS = Dan Dean\'s solo strings
DDWW = Dan Dean\'s solo woodwinds (or is it DDWS?)
DDBS = Dan Dean\'s solo brass
DDBE = Dan Dean\'s brass ensembles
QLSO = Quantum Leap/East Wests symphony orch.
QLRI = Quantum Leap Rare instruments
VOTA = Voices of the apocalypse (Quantum Leap)
US = Ultimate strings
UP/UOP = Ultimate Percussion
LOP = London Orch.Percussion
SI = Sonic Implants Symphonic strings

Hope this makes sence

regards
Bjarne

I\'m jsut going by how it started. i was DDWW back when it released, I always liked DDSW better, but understand that it can get confusing.

Hi Richard, I recently made a request to the forum moderators for an explanation of terms here;

http://www.northernsounds.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=27;t=000028 (\"http://www.northernsounds.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=27;t=000028\")

Books, CD ROMS, websites, all have legends/help/keys/faqs, etc. I think it is reasonable to ask for the same here.

It is frustrating to be closely following a thread when someone suddenly says; \"no use LOP!\" images/icons/smile.gif

Regards, Scott.

I\'m glad to see that I\'m not the only person who has been confused. I think a glossary of terms would be most welcome. Alternatively, we could all take 2-3 extra seconds to actually write out product names in full.
