I like the Westgate woodwinds library. You can get a good price at the
Tascam (Gigastudio) web site.

Hi!  You might want to check out our oboe as well.  It is the most extensively sampled 
oboe on the market as far as articulations and velocity layers.  It is also only $99.00

Here are a couple of demos...

http://www.donniechristianstudios.com/mp3demos/PeterOboe.mp3

This one has the oboe as well as some of the other woodwinds an the cello...

Yes, as a matter of fact there is a free oboe demo (in Kontakt) on my website that you are 
welcome to download if you like.

Is it more extensive than the oboes in the Vienna Symphonic Library?

Nope, the VSL French Oboe is $295 and has anywhere from 1-4 velocities max.  Mine is 
$99.00 and has up to 16!

Donnie

Somewhere in this world there is an oboist, male or female preferably, since this is a female instrument to me, although hard to process, recording a solo performance in a studio and with some time left after the recording doing an EXS24 instrument and giving it to us, thank you in advance

Donnie, good luck with the Celeste, I really hope
you're on the level.

There is a set of Oboe samples available free here:

http://theremin.music.uiowa.edu/MIS.Oboe.html

they just need to be assembled into EXS instruments

kind regards

Wow, that is a lot of stuff...

Wonder why they haven't put it in an archive.

:-)

Cheers
Hans

Regarding the MIS samples:
Critical stuff IMO. Very tough to loop (and most of the notes aren't sufficiently long enough for any sustained things), some sounds
are horribly out of tune too.
In addition, on some instruments even the FF notes still aren't louder than -30dB or something (IIRC). Now yes, they seem to be
recorded properly - but still, there goes all your bit depth.

Steve,

Your article hits a few nails lo on the head. Congratulations!

In case anyone's interested, the Sound on Sound article I'm referring 
to is here:

http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar05/articles/soundingoff.htm

Not sure, you may have to be a subscriber.

OK, the article isn't specifically about the EXS but it does mention 
production techniques we can probably all relate to and Steve *is* on 
this list.

 Thanks for this post, Andris. What a great read.

That article was terrific.

Brilliant!

Hi..I find it obsurd(is that a word>)..That it even has to be put into fiction to be 
a bravo..Isn't or rather hasn't it allways been about the music??I feel the whole 
computer thing to be about the truest thing to so called LO-FI as there could 
ever be. When the technology appears to be able to provide a better product 
then what occurs naturally it folds back upon itself and reveals the true 
limitations that are everpresent with all recording processes..That being talent 
being captured by the talented(think Tom Dowd)  And all the other greats of 
recording..And then there are the great performances captured by less 
creatives that it had no bearing on.In so much as the moment.although 
perhaps not near prefect in recording was too great to have even that less 
then perfect capture tarnish it.I;m guilty of the whole blown away by what I can 
get for a buck now as opposed to say 15 years ago..Got a bit lost there in 
wanting and feeling I couldn't move forward or back without the newest tech 
installed.I'm glad to not be that way anymore(oh at least 93% of the time)..I 
applaud your work an commitment to the "hollow Sun" project.I have 
attempted to turn folks onto your site every chance I have gotten..Hope this 
finds you well and inspired..T

In fact,you¹re right about  the usabitlty of this stuff: its pretty poor.
I¹ve let myself been impressed by the presentation of the whole thing.
But the material looks more like student home work.
I checked all the sounds:wouldn¹t make any sample instrument with them.
Sorry for any speeded heart!!
The Quest must go on!!!

Alain

Will somebody give us the EXS files to these instruments please, I don't jabe the slightest idea how to produce that document, thanks

Hi All,

Well... I am glad that the article made you chuckle - or even made you think
perhaps... whatever. I am just glad it caused a 'reaction'. My email inbox
has been overwhelmed with similar reactions to the article since it was
published (it's quite flattering actually)!!

I apologise for using Logic as the example - it could have been any DAW...
Pro-Tools, Cubase, Nuendo...  whatever - I just happened to pick Logic in
the interests of brevity for the title. Certainly no 'diss' intended to
Logic users hereabouts!

But the underlying fact remains....

Let's not use technology to polish formulaic turds that satisfy a record
company or radio advertiser's demographic... let's use it to push the
boundaries and create something that is unique and original however
uncomfortable that might be!

When I was a lad, the underlying momentum when forming a band was to 'be
different'. 

However, nowadays, the focus seems to be on being 'me-too' - to get a
commercial slice of what some other manufactured act has established in the
market.... the 'bland leading the bland' so to speak!

Hmmmm... I feel another SOS 'Sounding Off' article coming on ;-)

But thanks for your positive comments to the article.


Best regards,


Steve

One step further, if you don't mind:

We do not need to push boundaries. There are none. Who wants to stop a 
creative musician these days? We have the technology and the knowledge 
and we have more communication than ever. The distribution channels are 
right under our hands. And we don't have musical boundaries except the 
walls we build ourself.

"I'm the best, I'm the loudest, I'm the fastest!"
(Sometimes I feel more compressed than the music I hear the whole day)
Who wins? The guy with the brand new vintage keyboard - an exact 
replica of the device Jo Zawinul threw away after ten minutes? Or the 
emulation of the Marx Brothers in the bath tube?
No. We just didn't get the clue yet - but we are on the way...


Peter Ostry

Funny stuff, Steve! I remember reading a couple of Roger Nichols articles 
in the 90's that described actual processes he'd gone through that weren't 
much less ridiculous than this. Interestingly, though he did poke fun at 
the fanaticism of Donald Fagen, there was a definite tone of pride at his 
(undeniably incredible) mastery of the technology. It is a fine line we 
tread today, balancing the necessity of understanding and taking advantage 
of the technology, with the basic desire to just make music and blow all 
that stuff off.

Great line Steve. It'd make a great title for a SOS article (I'm sure 
you've thought of that already).
