"Ah, I know of people who generally are quite happy with NotePerformer but avoid the piano. I don't find your Aria piano that bad in tone -- but as things stand, it does seem to lack some expressiveness in places and getting the balance right is…"
"I've been accused of spending too much time commenting on renderings as opposed to the music and, as I guess this is done using the far from optimal NotePerfomer piano, I didn't want to say anything specific here. But it certainly did strike me…"
"I never know what I'm doing until I finish a piece and often not even then......."
"I'm glad you've posted an original work for a change rather than working on material by others, however interesting the results sometimes are. And I think the programme of the piece is very clear with the intermittent sf outbursts and clock…"
"At last I've arrived. Dragged out from the ranks of the instantly forgotten composers to the small select group of the hated. You can't imagine what a compliment that is, Rowy! And no, I've never studied any sort of music at an academic level, other…"
"the last movement of my 12th seems to have had perhaps the most positive feedback of any of my works to date but I'm glad you seem to enjoy my latest and I much appreciate the comments. I know my harmonies can confuse those who approach my music…"
I fairly recently completed my latest chamber work. Like with the 12th, this finishes with a consolatory adagio as its heart, though this time it's a bit more complex and starts with a variant of the main motif of the first movement which is highly…
"I started with "serious" libraries around 2005 when VSL was indeed the clear leader with only EWQL providing any sort of competition. Nowadays, Orchestral Tools have a huge range, as do Spitfire to name just perhaps the biggest. For chamber music…"
"I was a bit surprised initially when you said it was VSL as I use the Synchron instruments quite widely in a chamber context (I find VSL general too clinical for full orchestra works). I just tried the Special Edition trumpet and indeed the…"
" this may be less ambitious than the fascinatingly varied Nonet (which incidentally has for me a more logical and interesting instrumentation than the Spohr standard as woodwind, brass and strings are equally represented) but a lot of weird and…"

"explanation accepted, Dave -- I'll do a YouTube search as suggested. As for your last paragraph -- I wouldn't disagree, there! There are plenty of people on certain other forums (esp. TC) who are just the same). Of course some of us are better…"
"I don't really share Dave's pessimism about AI.If AI can produce the commercial stuff that humans currently do then it will inevitably happen because it's cheaper. And someone still has to programme the AI so I expect we'll be more in a world of…"
"It seems perhaps Dave has forgotten he asked people to listen to this. I tried to find the work on his website but without success as it might be interesting to put Callisto into context (and I can't really remember the piece now anyway so would…"

you had given me some very valuable feedback on a earlier orchestral work, particularly noting the absence of a cohesive theme. I have since decided to break the piece up into a full length symphony and in this context, I'd appreciate your comments about how the first movement sounds.
Thanks!
