Stephen Doheny replied to Simon Godden's discussion OUCH! Installation of EWQLSO 32-bit (only a 32-bit DAW) going very badly.

"Good Morning Simon.....
Yes after you install the first installation disc, it should open up the path of the location of the EWQL directory. (Make a note of this path)....Then take disc # 2, 3 and copy and past the contents of those discs ( .DLL…"

"Thanks Julian for your comments. I appreciate them too. I agree with you about receiving criticism is good to have...its how we learn, its how we grow. When you present music to the untrained ear or family and friends, they tend to be more biased…"

Hello! I started for the love of music at age 7 when my mother would play the Warsaw Piano Concerto and also Clair de Lune. I was amazed even back then of the sounds it produced and the gorgeous melody. I started taking lessons at age 8 and then all the way through High School. I never had training in orchestral works, but as I got older, I found myself being requested to play for weddings and church services. I started playing the Church organ for Sunday Mass in the 8th Grade. Eventually I was turned onto Christian music and how the piano was used with orchestral accomp. I looked and looked for accomp tapes and music books. They were there, but rare. So I wished I always could just write my own scores. That way, I could play whatever I wanted and have a true orchestra behind me. I found Kork Sequencers, MIDI Keyboards, and the world of electronics. Then I found the awesome power of computers and now how sampled software now works with them. I used East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra's, Symphonic Choirs. I have more orchestral sounds from Standard Solos, duets, trios, quartets to full Symphonic masterpieces han can be scored. Back in 1981 I was asked to perform piano accompinament for Elizabeth Ward, Miss America. WOW what an expierience. I live and Harrisburg, PA and would love to hear from you and your experiences. Stephen

thanks Steve, for the info. well, yes some of my music is on the gentle side, but then there are things like Sym 2 mv 1 "In the Womb", Sym 1 mv 3 "Nigredo" and "At the Edge of the Event Horizon" which are at times decidedly on the edge of violent in places. Goes with the territory. :-)

Do you write your music in a sequencer, with notation software or what?

Myself, I use Finale 2008.
Karen E. Peace September 4, 2007 at 2:38pm

Your music is very lovely, quite sophisitcated, and the mix is great! OK so EWQL is your sound library, yes? very nice sounds. :-)
Karen E. Peace September 4, 2007 at 2:37pm

Sure, Stephen, I would like to have my link on your page if you are willing. My regular music homepage is www.soundclick.com/kepeaceusa. You can use this picture here if you like. Thanks! ps. Let me know and I'll return the favor on my soundclick links page -- the website you want the link to.

Hi Stephen, glad to have you as a friend.

What does "soft creative" mean, and what is "EWQL Symphonic Orchestra" ? I'm assuming the former means something like "as opposed to hard-core classical" -- or program music, etc.

I'll go take a peek at your music. Thanks for being a friend.
Sharon HGTV August 24, 2007 at 9:27pm

I do indeed work for HGTV but Chris is the one with all the talent. I'm just a hack who passes herself off as a producer. Thanks for the invite! The tracks sound great!

Nice to meet you Stephen. Thank you for your kind comments. You've written/orchetrated some beautiful music!

Hello Stephen, thanks for comments! Yes, I use EWQL Gold Pro XP. Your music is wonderful! Thanks for your welcome...
Jonathan Davis August 15, 2007 at 1:36pm

So is it fair to say that with platinum you have to do less tweaking? Or is the mixing process pretty much as involved no matter what sampled library you use? I really can't wait to get symphonic choirs. I think that will be my next purchase ;)
