Yes, you're right! Problem solved--thanks! I knew it must be something trivial...

OK, what specific info do you need on the computer? By "what samples" do you mean what instrument? Actually, I was trying to load a standard symphony orchestra from EWQLSO samples from piccolo down to double bass, and all I get is the piccolo, or whatever it is I put on top. Even when I have just 1 sample loaded, it plays it from channel 1 only, so I guess it doesn't have to do with the number of samples I load. I keep thinking it must be something trivial, I just can't figure out what. Any help appreciated.

Meantime I've changed the Logic for Cubase SX3; I figured out how to import and load the samples alright. My problem now is that when I put the midis in the sequencer and load samples on it, it only plays the uppermost channel and ignores the rest. Am I missing something? Or does it have to do with computer shortages?

Yes, I figured out that that's what I need to do, but how exactly do I do THAT? Logic has a VST Plug-Ins folder, and I've already tried to copy there a multi that I saved on EWQLSO, but I can't proceed from there. How do I make it work? (I said I'm an amateur with sequencers, treat me as an absolute beginner...)

Hi Everyone, I have a rather amateurish request. So far my composing activity was confined to using Sibelius, and recording songs with Kontakt Player, so I know precious little about sequencers. I've just managed to get myself an EWQLSO Gold Edition, and I also have a Logic Platinum 5 sequencer. I'm simply asking: how do I get started in the first place? How can I import the samples from ESQL to Logic? Once that's done, I guess I can find my way around. Thanx in advance!

Piece updated, waiting for comments (available through link given in the thread opening). Thanks in advance!

This is the first symphonic composition of mine from a couple of years back. I had in mind some comic, playful sequence of events with some dramatic tension intervening in the middle when I composed it, something like Falstaff, or The Merry Wives of Windsor--hence the title. I composed it on Sibelius, and it's in classical style (or so I would figure). The orchestration follows the standard classical setup with cymbals and triangle added. The latter unfortunately comes through with more intesity than I meant it to have, though. Comments welcome! It's available at The Merry Wives

Piece updated, some extra percussion added, introduction and conclusion modified. Thought I'd revive it... What do you think?

Thanks very much for your comments, Montpellier! Yes, I agree with you about the dynamics. I compose on Sibelius, and it tends to be a bit awkward with dynamics, so I refrain, for instance, from using the cresc/dim facility, without which certain parts just fail to come through in the right way. The score was the other thing you mentioned: so far I haven't posted scores because I haven't installed the component of the software that enables it as yet. I will make up for is asap. Thanks again!

I wrote this short piece for a documentary which was re-edited after the music was done, so I had to rewrite it in a more fragmented fashion. I kept the original version, though, and I designated it "Intermezzo"--this is what I post now. Comments appreciated.

Nice work! You qualify it as film music, so I have no problem with its being repetitive. I very much liked your samples; what software do you use?

This one seems to have slipped into oblivion, so I thought I try to revive it...

Thanks again. The score needs some cleaning up--I'll post it when it's done.

Thanks very much, hornplayer, for your comments. Indeed, I, too, was somewhat dismayed by not getting comments. I guess you're right about the chord changes, as well as the transition into the tutti of the midsection. And, oh yes, I have this quasi-neurotic compulsion to drag the coda on and on and on.... :shifty: Thanks again! Anyone else?

Here is a symphonic piece I composed about a year ago. I don't know whether it qualifies as a modest tone poem or as a movie score. I didn't have any precise program in mind, but I associated it (vaguely) with an airborne battle, hence the title. I used Sibelius which cannot play pizzicato and horn at the same time, which is quite distressing--on this version, I opted for having the pizzicato on. Comments are welcome. It's available at: Airborne PS. I have just updated the piece, added some extra percussion + changed the intro and the conclusion.
