"Another option is to buy used monitors from a reliable seller. 
You can probably find someone who is upgrading to more professional monitors or has just lost interest in composing or recording.

"What's your budget?
I've been researching this for weeks and I'm hanging on for the widely rumoured new Mac Pro.
Whatever you get, forget 8meg of ram. Ram is cheap and I'd go for 32 meg or you might find yourself adding more later."

    Congrats on your first real gig!! Not much of a surprise as you good and always had the potential :) Yeah, I did read that you upgraded your library. I'll def look you up on facebook. You'll get a request from Hardworking Hansani lol. ttyl

    Hey John, how are you. I have been busy and just signing in after a long while. Just listened to your new "Action" piece....sounding good! A great amount of musical growth has occurred! Hey, if you have a Facebook let me know.
  • Anthony Berlin March 23, 2011 at 2:25am
    So am I! :D I have been saving for years to afford all of this!
  • Anthony Berlin March 21, 2011 at 12:49pm

    Hehe. Well it has cost alot of money! And to be honest, Hollywood Strings has been my best investment since my computer, when it comes to orchestral libraries! Also, I've been looking at other libraries for choirs, and found Liberis and Requiem Pro by Tonehammer. You should look into those. They seem even better than Symphonic Choirs!

  • Anthony Berlin March 20, 2011 at 5:29pm

    Thanks alot John! :D

    Yeah I scored a private fake trailer for LOTR that my buddy did. He wanted that theme in there, but still with some originality to it. :)

    I used EWQL Hollywood Strings, EWQL Storm Drum, EWQL Symphonic Orchestra Platinum (with Pro XP) and EWQL Symphonic Choirs for this piece, and all the other pieces as well, except of course not the choir, for the pieces that had none. ;)

    Great music man! You have true talent! Your sense of harmony is amazing and I love the way you change keys. Cudos!

    i really like "Strength of a Noble Kind"!
    IMO it has alot of FFA(Hitoshi Sakamoto) feeling to it which i really like!
    very cheery and yet epic and tells alot of story!
    imo it sounds very professional as-well!
