Why do you need this if you pirated EWQL? It just pulls a little bit of samples (it's a sample of samples) from EWQLSO. (which you already have pirated, therefore you're downloading a free version of a fraction of pirated stuff you already have) And if you don't download the driver from the PACE website you can't use free version. What I'm saying is, why download the free version?

Looking at a youtube video... the interface doesn't look so easy on the eyes. As long as it can hold VST's and can export MIDI's like Rozo said, it's fine. But FL Studio is, in my opinion... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY BETTER, YO. OOOOH BTW, you don't need a keyboard... I don't have one. In FL Studio (and Music Creator 5) they have a piano roll you can use. There's a grid. Each row is a note (FL has about 12 octaves, I think) and each column is a step. Use your knowledge of rhythm to figure out where to put notes and how long to extend them for. There's a piano on the side to tell you which note you're on, and clicking the key on the piano plays the note for you on whatever instrument/sound you're using in that specific pattern. I think the Music Creator piano roll is a lot harder to use... I saw a video of it, and it made it look like writing Mary Had A Little Lamb was the hardest thing ever...

When the installer asks for you for a location to install the VST, find the FL 9 folder in Image Line folder in program files. then go to plugins, then click VST and save it there. (If you already saved somewhere else, just copy the dll thingies into there.) Then go to Channels in fruityloops and click "More..." Then click refresh at bottom right corner of the window, and look for play_VST in the list. Check the box and close the window.

He/she's not spamming... he/she's just... not... being... alive?

No, what I meant was... He asked "Where should I go?" Finding samples is not the next step. LEARNING MUSIC is the next step. And when I said samples I meant high quality VST's. I don't consider soundfonts samples... they are, just not in my own personal opinion.

Thanks for that, judges. It's nice to see that you guys take the time to listen to all of the submissions and vote. Every vote is a step closer to and judging my mix in the queue (it was subbed in October, so I gotta wait about 2-3 months for you guys to get to it. The faster you judge, the closer you'll be to judging mixes subbed much more recently, and maybe you'll actually catch up to judging mixes subbed in the same month you're judging them). (And hopefully I won't get NO'd )

That's true, money can't buy skills.

Especially if you're on a low budget computer that can't handle even ONE instance of Quantum Leap (like me). xD

Maybe... because Christmas is supposed to be happy and getting NO'd on the panel with Christmas colors is... Okay never mind.

All of this is true, but if you know what you're doing, you can make it so no one can tell the difference between squidfont and EWQLSO. My point is, you don't need to spend a thousand dollars EWQLSO Gold to get a realistic orchestra. It's NOT the only option. :/

I'm not complaining that they didn't give more, I'm just complaining that they called it a "symphonic orchestra" when it's... uh... kinda... not? It's a joke, anyway. I've no need for any more, I have what I need (I have squidfont and synergigs which have good percussion and woodwinds...), so a big THANKS to EastWest for the strings and brass. Now all I need is a computer that can handle the samples...

However using soundfonts is NOT a lost cause.

DID YOU KNOW THAT (echo) NOW YOU KNOW.

Meh, there wasn't as much as I expected... just some strings and brass, and a triangle and some chimey sounds. That totals 12 instruments... I am disappointed. No percussion, either. xD

Maybe they're too cool for music theory. FYI, if they're too cool for the music theory, they're too lame to be cool. And they no longer have an excuse. "We're cool like that!" "No, you're really not..." "... *cries like a baby*"

You can have it in February. If you want it now, make a WIP and I'll see if I like it! AND BIG NEWS!!! We have our first finished track. By Rozovian!

Is it just me or is the installer... not installing? It just says "The features you selected are currently being installed." but it doesn't look like anything is happening.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. I win. I don't have to use Orchestral Soundfonts anymoooooooore!!!!

Why are you guys adding August remixes when there are still remixes from July and back?

Oh okay. Then I have no objections to this list.

Can we keep 2Fort?

Listening to a good portion of the remixes on this site would give the answer to the last question. And yes, Soundfonts are your friend. Well, the kind of friend that has no other friends and follows you around and you just don't want him around. http://soundfonts.darkesword.com my bro has some cool soundfonts here... You can also try www.native-instruments.com, they have some cool non-synth samples. Samples is NOT the way to go. There's more to music than fancy samples... actually I don't think fancy samples will teach you ANYTHING about music. Unless you already learned music theory (formal or informal) I don't suggest trying to remix with the thought that you'll be great if you have good samples... I have terrible samples, but I know some stuff about music theory so I can make them sound good. AND BTW, you can't save any of your work if you have a demo version...

Wait so Garageband can load stuff like EWQL and KORE player? Wow at the Apple store Garageband looked so confusing to use. I couldn't find a piano roll to make my own melody. I wanted to make one but sadly I had to leave and couldn't explore much. xD
