Who would criticize Garritan? They're my go to library. Is there something else I should consider using?
He was a gem. I miss him a lot.
Here's a zip with everything I downloaded-
I would like to see it. Perhaps using a Musescore/Musesounds based web player.
I found some people who've put together Scheherazade in Muscscore (3). It sounds...okay. I wonder if the MIDI/ VST mapping updates will make it easier to have a more realistic performance without too much programming.
That means you have good taste.
Papa Chalk, right?
Sorry, I just meant the teasing and kibitzing we used to do. I miss it. Ya Ape! Remember, I made you the Pope!
Ah, that's right! I'd forgotten that my avatar was a photograph of me in my forest habitat.
I remember you contacting me privately saying they made you ban me and you hated doing it. I never held it against you. Glad I recognize you here now, Mike can I ban Brian?…kidding.Sorry, I just meant the teasing and kibitzing we used to do. I miss it. Ya Ape! Remember, I made you the Pope!
As for the topic, as most know, I used to be a moderator on NS. It was great and I enjoyed everyone there (most are here now). I don’t want to get too specific or name any names, but I was very fond of the owners of NS. I was one of the last ones to bail out hoping it would resolve in a better way than it did. I must say that I got the impression that the owners were being manipulated. Many times (again, as some of you know) I tried to advocate for people - arguing that they should NOT be banned but in the end they were. Usually the banning were done by other moderators, but the last straw for me was when I was asked to ban certain people. I was given reasons that turned out either not to be true or for reasons that have been already mentioned previously. I was put in a very difficult position and felt that I was now an extension of the manipulation. So I was out. For me it was a tragedy for both NS and a lot of good people. I loved the forum and it‘s members so much but it got to the point where I could not defend the indefensible. It felt dishonest. But, (again this is my opinion) it was the owners who were lied to as well.
It was a long time before I joined here because I didn’t know if I would be welcomed but I very much was. I am so thankful to be among my friends again. I think a lot (if not most people) knew what was going on and the difficult position I was in and that I really was trying to do the right things.
Yes. I created it for many reasons. The first of which was that it really bothered me that composers (let’s face it, many composers are gentle intuitive beings) were being regularly abused at NS. In response, I wanted to create a safe haven for composers to hang their hat and speak freely in the name of better mock-ups without the additional political tension created by developers who at the time wanted to nix any honest discussion that shed an uncompromising light on their products.

Yes I agree. Ashif was brilliant yet quite misunderstood by his own family. I will miss his uncompromising wit and humor.
