I'm finding the samples on the softer side, smother edges, that kind of thing. Which is good, mostly. but I'm having to rework things a bit as I redo a piece from 10 years ago. The flute is not as crisp, for example, and I have to make some adjustments to get it sound the way I want it to. But on the whole there is no doubt it's an improvement. For a first time user, this has to be a God-send. As was the first GPO. Will it solve all my needs? No, but it's well worth the 49.00 I spent on it. Until the day I bite the bullet and decide to really shell out some serious cash. But I'm still learning how to do this mixing thing, and until I get better at it, GPO and EWSO Gold are good enough.

Hi Michael,
 
Strange!
 
I must do some more extensive testing then. ...
 
The samples are definitely identical.
I've loaded several into Audacity (File, Import, RAW data ...) and there's absolutely no difference whatsoever.
The only conclusion that I can come to is that their playback is being altered in some way ...
Aha! There's a new sfz file called "Flute Legato.sfz" that wasn't there before. That might change playback.
...
But I can't see it being called from the master xml file nor from within the normal flute sfz files.
Maybe the change is within the ARIA player?
 
Trundles off to study code.
 
Regards,
John.

Don't trundle too far, John, you know Alpha Orionis will explode some day soon ;)

Leave my "trundling" to my own devices, if you please! Although I do appreciate the 'heads up!' ;-)
The outer planet of the Betelgeusean system is only a temporary home (since roughly Ptolemaic times), whilst I arrange alternative accommodation near Procyon.
To be honest, I'm getting fed up with the colour red after a couple of millennia, and I need a little more energy to power the transporter. I fear the drain will send things supernova in the very near future.
 
Aha! The coffee's ready.
That's why I came originally. The coffee's outstanding here.
 
I see that you have your own set of explosive problems, Fleer.
I sincerely hope that they don't get worse.

That's the Pagan Discount Code I was referring to Fleer.
The very word "Easter" is Pagan, coming from the Pagan
Goddess Eastre/Oestre/ Astarte, who was the Goddess of
Fertility.  This day celebrated is not "Christian", it is Pagan,
and always has been.  They merely "attached" his name
to it.  It's just that people don't know their history, and believe
whatever they are told by that man in the Pulpit...

Just as Christmas is really midwinter or Yuletide moved a little.

I decided to go for the VSL SE libraries on sale.  At least with Garritan the upgrade pricing isn't a limited time. 

Little old pagan me is getting tired of people detonating in the name of religion.

Are you going to post the news, Fleer, or should I?
