"Dear Ingo.
The Garritan idea's really clever - should've thought of it ages back. I'll do that.
BIAB's a kinda DAW, really, isn't it? I'm looking for more of a library of sounds for something/a VST that comes with nice New Agey paddy backing sounds…"

"Hi Chris, welcome to CF. I'm going to suggest "Band-in-a-Box" which is a product I've had for a number of years. I can't whole heartedly recommend it because it is kind of tricky to get good results with it, but it will create pads etc. The current…"
"Thought I'd better add a disclaimer - all the VSTs I've got are legal and paid for - I know Kontakt comes with pads, they were lovely but they died with an external hard disc a couple of years or more back. Never been able to find a copy of the…"
Dear Anyone. For years now (cue sad violin music!) I've been looking for pad/backing sounds like these...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaRrq7cYu84or... (and,…
"Dear Jon et al.
I'd agree with you if I could afford to pay a bunch of real people to play the stuff I write - can only talk for myself here! Then you'd get all the random elements - though why us humans practice and practice to play as perfectly…"

"Just a thought - not certain what version of Windows you're on - why don't you Rewire - or similar - Finale and Cubase together? Then instead of having to do all the importing/exporting stuff, you could use them both together to create a finished…"
"Dear David.
Nope, I'm using the wonderful Quick Score Elite Level 2 by Cris Sion, accept no imitation. Yup, Dorico works EXACTLY the same way as Quick Score Elite - but it's £500!!! There's a student version for £50, I know, but I'll never…"

"Well Chris like I said I'm no expert but I'm happy to talk about my approach to this stuff. Doing this work is more of what they call sound design than composition and I'm more into composition but there is common ground between the two.
There are…"

"Dear Ingo Lee.I'd dearly love you to explain how you did it! The problem I usually have is that all these YouTube tutorials - not saying your explanation, just the YouTube tutorials - only seem to work on the VST they're designed to work on. I get…"
"HI Chris -
I don't do much ambient and I'm certainly no expert but here's a clip of a piece that I did. If this is anywhere close to what you want to do I can explain how I did it.

I'll try my best to help. If you can try your best to explain your goals and problems you'll get the best results ;D Enjoy the site!
Hi John, Wow, thanks for your nice comments. To tell you the truth, I don't know the radio stations to which you are referring. Are they internet stations? To tell you the truth, what I don't do is market....I'm lazy and remiss about that. I diddle around in my little studio in the woods and leave it pretty much as a hobby. About mixing on the computer, I wish I could help you, but I'm a technophobe myself. I use a very old fashioned system, the Roland Boss recorders and a Roland keyboard, mostly. I don't know how to record on a computer, though I bought a Mac last spring, thinking that I WOULD learn, but so far, I haven't.
Thank you for the nice comments about the piano pieces. I'll load more new ones in the next few days. I'm working on a new suite right now that I like. Also finished up another piano suite a couple of months ago....A Week in the Life, a piano piece for each day of the week.
I wish you luck finding help with your computer. James Semple is a member here, in fact, I believe he's a site administrator. He also lives in the UK, though I'm not sure where...maybe no where close to you. At any rate, I have found him to be VERY generous with his knowledge and advice on here. Have you made his acquaintance yet?
Bye, Martha
