Dan,

Congratulations on a job very well done! I am very happy for you!

Wow - not bad. When is that bass bone update due? graemlins/tounge_images/icons/smile.gif

[dandean]

Hi Simon,

We\'re working on the Solo Brass Upgrade right now. At NAMM, we showed the Bass Trombone dyn-xf features to a number of people who were amazed. There is absolutely no phasing/artifacts normally associated with x-fading solo instruments. Also, the Kontakt versions are underway and should be ready soon.

Good to hear from you, Simon

congrats Dan. The library deserves it.

[Maarten Spruijt]

Congratulations Dan!!

Way to go Dan! I think your work on the Brass Ensembles is exemplary. You\'ve done an especially nice job capturing the dynamic layers in the Trombones and French Horns from mf-ff. This is where I\'ve found some of the other libraries fall a bit short.

[dandean]

Thanks Kip, Simon, Ashif and Maarten. I appreciate it! If you haven\'t read this review, it is immensely entertaining and humorous. Dave Stewart\'s wit really shines through.

Hi Stacey, Kirk and everyone,

I was really nice to see you all at NAMM and meet many of you. After a long year of production, I\'m finally out of the studio.

would you care to elaborate on which method you are using for this?

DDBE is a great achievement, even without the 5* review.

Now to get dynamic crossfades without phasing and to get the VSL legato working together...

[KingIdiot]

Hey there Dan,

Congratulations! We knew you had it in ya. Al was so impressed and happy for you that he went ahead and chipped another tooth! ;-)

Seriously, congratulations on creating another great sample library.

You\'re correct. The sun actually DOES shine where this proprietary development takes place, and though it could be viewed by some as hydraulic, I like to think of it as more geothermal. Its not so much gas, but steam - an excellent way to heat things up. I\'ll post something soon.
