That's cool for an amateur, but let's get real. While the majority of the time my projects are recorded by live players, if you're doing TV work, it's lamost all sampler based. Also when th producer and director come over to my studio, I can't constantly be making excusses because the samples they are hearing on my mock ups don't really cut it.Originally posted by Mark Schmieder:

For professional composers we need the best tools around, not some pie in the sky notion that if we use inferior sounds somehow this will keep orchestras in bussiness.
Also samples have nothing to do with killing orchestras in this country .... it's killing seesion players in LA. Noone is going to Orchestra Hall to hear a virtual orchestra. What's killing orchestras are he publics indeference to something that should be embrassed. (although that's a whole other subject).
