Greg - as a procuder of sample libraries its called......market research, that's why you had to buy or have so many other libraires and products.
me I have no excuse other than G.A.S.
Anyway you slice it, we're all G.A.S hoarders.....I'm even "justifying my buys as: "this library will be really good for my children when they're older".

Hahaha! How much did you get for 'em? I mean was it an expensive upgrade? It is time to upgrade to Sonar X3 and I have two kids. Hmm....

50% off is really a big discount. But it seems I don't need the stuff like that.
Thank you for that insightful post, Danny. Godspeed to you, good man! We wish you well on your journey.

In addition to the three finalists, there were a good deal of entries in the Orange Tree Samples Demo Contest that I thought were superb. One of them has an infectious riff that I absolutely love. The musician who submitted it was kind enough to share it after my request. The song, called "Gun Slinger," uses Orange Tree Samples' Lap Steel Guitar along with live acoustic guitar. His acoustic guitar is a bit out of tune, which gives the song an authentic, old time blues recording kind of quality. The riff is killer -- I love it. I've played this tune at least 30 times since I first heard it. Give it a listen. The riff I'm referring to doesn't kick in until around 47 seconds into the song. You'll know it when you hear it. https://soundcloud.com/christian-yoder/gunslinger

After getting the Rick and Passion Flute, I caved in and just picked up Mesa Winds. Just couldn't pass it up. Definitely done now, though

16 hours left for Orange Tree Samples Group Buy and the chance to get everything they sell at 50% off and get 6 free KONTAKT libraries.
We're presently up to 788 participants in the Group Buy so far, more than doubling the final number of participants from the last Orange Tree Samples -- 3 years go! So if you miss this one, it may be another 3 more years until the next one.

Back when I was working as a tutor in the recording studio at my university, I volunteered to record a demo tape for a buddy of mine. He was applying to study at the jazz school in Freiburg, Germany, and needed a demo tape of a few songs to show his solo jazz guitar playing as well as playing in a group (which was a quartet: guitar, piano, upright bass, drums). When doing a recording session, I always get there at least two hours early, and then have the drummer get there an hour early. That way I have time to get all the mics set up, headphone feeds, and all the inputs set in Pro Tools. The drummer gets there early so he can set up and tune his kit and we can get a good mic mix going before the rest of the group arrives. It really helps the recording session to go smoothly and efficiently. So I'm in the process of testing the mics and headphones, and I notice that I'm not getting any signal out of several of the mics. I swap out cables, try different channels in the patch bay, and basically replace every element in the equation with no luck. And then I try plugging a mic directly into the board. Nothing. Apparently somebody must have come in the evening before and blown out a bunch of the preamps. And by a bunch, I mean most of the preamps on the entire board. I ended up having to record the whole group with only five working channels. One mic on the guitar amp, one on the piano, one on the upright bass, and two on the drums (I used the recorderman technique). It was rough, and took a ton of work getting the mix to sound decent, but the good news is that he got accepted--fortunately judged on the basis of performance skill rather than recording quality.

I had a blast working with Greg and Orange Tree Samples as well as posting here at Cakewalk Forums to help keep the Group Buy post moving along. Thanks everyone for making the Group Buy a success. The final number of Group Buy participants appears to be 862 people! That's amazing and the largest Group Buy I know of for an independent sample developer. Kudos, friends!

And yes, Orange Tree Samples is aware that some folks have been signing up for the Group Buy and making purchases after the GB officially ended. The reason it's still being kept open is due to requests from a number of GB participants who asked for some extra time to complete their purchase due to things like waiting for a paycheck. Consequently, if this is your situation, Orange Tree Samples is giving you with a little extra time to complete your order. But be aware, they need to close this up as soon as possible, so the opportunity to complete your purchase at the Group Buy prices may be closed at any time without prior notice, after a number of orders from folks who have made requests have been completed. So, if you're order isn't completed at that point, there will not be another opportunity. In other words, please complete your purchase as soon as you can. As far as folks who have snuck in to the Group Buy since it officially closed, it's no big deal and their orders have been and will be honored. I suppose if someone only becomes aware of the Group Buy today, you can always try registering and see if the system will still let you purchase. If so, your order will be fully honored. The same goes for anyone who already made a GB purchase and wants to attempt to make some last minute additions. Again, there are no guarantees, because the GB has officially ended, but while Orange Tree Samples is waiting for some transactions to complete, feel free to go ahead and attempt to get the GB discounts. There will be a notice on the GB landing page when everything is shutdown and at that point you'll no longer be able to put discounted libraries into your shopping cart and complete a purchase. http://www.orangetreesamples.com/gb/

Sadly/happily I was not.

I got that at the last sale. I got it for a project that I thought I wanted/needed lap steel and the project took a different turn. So I have not even tried it out yet. Bapu Am one sad and lagging puppy sometimes.

Here's an incredible jazz/fusion track from Christopher Rhyne, featuring Evolution Electric Guitar - Strawberry. I really love what he did with the chord progression and all the bass unison lines. https://soundcloud.com/chris-rhyne-2/short-fuseI was going to say that it really nails that 80's fusion sound, but that would be because he actually originally wrote the composition in the early 80's. :)

That is very nice, indeed. I have to keep reminding myself that EEG is good for more than just grungy power chords and wailing leads.
