Hey guys, think for a minute. How much would you have to charge for
94GB (in just the first 16/44.1 release) of extremely good samples
and well recorded samples, using really good players, in a studio
designed and built especially for the purpose (which is necessary,
because what they did can't be done in a rented hall), mapped to the
keyboard, with an included MIDI utility...and so on.
It's a lot of money, but it would have to be. And it's not likely to
happen again.
By the way, Hans Zimmer recorded his own orchestral library (and I
understand he bills $5000 for using it - independent of everything
else). VSL has made the same thing - or the next evolution of the
same thing - available to any professional composer.
My two sesterces.
