"Thank you Michael, I did a little digging and found out the Korg stick is a syncrosoft product. The same company Cubase uses. The stick should be compatible with other companies that used the protocol also refrred to as an eliscenser. sycrosoft…"
"Michael, Can you tell me if I can use an old Korg usb stick for the licenses? I was cleaning and found it the other day. No longer needed for Korg because they went to a different validation scheme that no longer uses the the dongle.

"Consoling and thank you for the assurances. I've had a USB stick go defunct and got obsessive about back-ups. I do 2 of the DAW and Vienna samples. As it is, I can do a software license with EW but have no free slots for a drive to hold the samples,…"
"That Vienna key comes with a helluvan overhead. If you lose it or break it during the guarantee period you have to buy your licenses again at 20 Euros per license. It's only guaranteed against failure. To avoid re-buying the licenses, Vienna offers…"
"Yes, a usb stick with a two year warranty. $26.If you loose the stick after that, I assume you can buy another. Same in the case of a hardware crash or theft. I suppose there are a few advantages, but not many.

"Dane, I believe the sample library companies biggest customers are Television/movie/video game/advertisement composers. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. For every successful movie composer there are likely 1000 or more wanna be's. I don't…"
"Just my opinion, but a usb key is about the silliest thing I've heard of. Not that I'm advocating their use, but there are cracks out there. I hope the libraries that use these keys are well worth the hassle of yet another thing sticking out of your…"
"I've wondered what the difference is between "cinematic" and symphonic sample libraries - though I suppose "cinematic" has a better selling pitch. There must be lots of wannabe cinema composers out there. Well, they aspire to compose so why not?…"
"I've heard good things about Vienna. I was hesitant because you need a dongle. Not a deal breaker. Mainly I'm running out of usb ports. Most composers who liked Spitfire also liked Vienna. If I see a deal I might look at their libs in the future.…"
"Good to meet another CbB user here! Yes, it will be interesting to see how the future develops over there. So long as scook and Craig and a few others stay around questions will be answered. Since Gibson let Craig go I think he's migrated more…"
"Michael, Yes I see you over on the Cakewalk forum on occasion. Good to see you here! It is a nice program. You've also used the program when it was 599.00 correct? Differences are it lacks some of the third party plugins that the older version had,…"

"I ended up buying the Spitfire Albion One library. Time will tell if I will use it. I hear good reviews on it as the sort of "staple" library from Spitfire. We'll see.

I see right now, that you use Soundcloud's player instead of the built-in one here. I think it's a good idea, because it relieves from synchronizing two important places. Maybe I'll steal this idea ;-)
This is a little out of date. I've since upgraded the computer system and monitor, but all the other gear is pretty much the same.

Hi Doug, i'm listening to your music, it's very, very sofisticated. There's some rich variations of texture, it made me wonder: how it would be if it was a paint?
Best wishes to you
Hi. Tough question you got for me there. I rarely have favourites of anything, but there are many a great chamber piece. If I were to mention every great chamber piece, this would just be a large list of pieces, so I'll leave it be.
Some chamber pieces that sticks out to me are Griegs string quartet in g minor, op. 27 and Beethovens string quartet in c sharp minor, op. 131. When it comes to pieces for cello and piano I can't say I have anything I would call favourite.. I'm sorry. Though in example Brahms, Beethoven, Britten, Bartok (etc) have composed good pieces for this given duo.
As said, I don't really hve favourites in music. Some pieces will stand out, of course, but the repertoire I have to choose from is too great for me to have favourites.
Hey Doug, I've been browsing through this website and your name has just been cropping up everywhere! You have a totally sweet studio, and I love the jams, they've got a great feeling to them, would be good live I reckon!
