but...but...but.. I have a guitar.... I don't play it very well...I don't play anything very well.... I'm a composer...not a performer. I don't write pop music...I write orchestral music. I love oboes with their expressiveness and their nuance. Did you know that quite apart from the variations from instrument to instrument, the method used in shaping the reed of an oboe can have an amazing effect on the tone...Players often have a box of reeds they use to create different tones and effects. But I have an oboe library. I need a guitar library. I'm down to 2....Yellow tools pure guitars...$134 and Hans Zimmer guitars vol.2..$279. Does anyone know if the extra $145 dollars is money well spent? The Zimmer Demo sounds great and it got a great review from SOS...but that was 4 years ago...it's also in Akai format and that can be a pain...everything is all split up cause of ram issues. Yellow tools is a new library...even comes in EXS format...Is anyone using these libraries?
