like I said, there's a market for both and I exited that you are making
instruments now. I'm sure it's wild stuff and I can't wait to try it.

that's a good goal. most jingle people don't have the patience to be
creative so I hope there's some Distorted reality type squishy stock presets
for them to make into the next car commercial so you can feed your family.

When you do that as a sample library company it's good in one way as it sets
your stuff apart and gives it a signature, some people like that, but it
left me little room to use it other than as a very background thing. Your
new approach seems more helpful to someone like me.
