  1. Uematsu on keys? You'll need maybe like one or two octaves.

    Actually, if all you want to is record lines with your keyboard [like melody and basslines] 2-3 octave keyboards are fine, but if you want to do piano solos I would go for at the very least a velocity sensitive 63-key synth/controller and recommend the full 88 keys

  2. or QLSO Silver which is only about $125. Both have more samples and better recorded samples.

    Actually, QLSO silver has far less instruments than HQ Orchestral. The quality is higher, of course, but Silver doesn't even have a full string section sample :). And it's not like one is bad and one isn't, they're both far above the quality of your average free soundfont.

    Anyway, I've gotten satisfactory results out of both HQ Orchestral and QLSO Silver, however the sample quality in QLSO is much higher. I have not used GPO, though.

    So Edirol gets points for having a boatload more instruments than QLSO Silver, but Silver beats that out with a very high quality. Keep that in mind when shopping around.

  3. WOW, FREEZING!

    When are you ever going to use more then 8 effects? And besides, you can just use sends. And 64 VST slots? You show me a song that has 64 virtual instruments running at once.

    Some people are that nuts, Zoola.

    I'm not one of them but I am just saying!

    Oh, but I have used more than 8 effects on one channel before.

  4. It's a bad environment for creating music.

    I disagree.

    Just fyi

    The less restricted you are in the creative process [e.g writing songs], the harder it is to come up with any good ideas.

    I find this somewhat contradictory.

    On one hand, I tend to think better in a closed, messy space full of technology. On the other hand, I have different fingers. There is too much technology to choose from to accurately grasp your muse.
