I am a composer who until recently had no idea what a vst plugin was.

I thought that the only way I would ever hear the music that I had spent years writing the old fashioned way (on staff paper with a pencil and straight-edge) would either involve:

1 An assload of money for musicians (a professional string quartet gets about $600 u.s. per hour, with no rehearsal rate. And my stuff is hard to play and hard to learn.) I mean I can't imagine how much it would cost to record just one piece.

2. An assload of money for equipment. I mean I knew a fair amount about professional recording from working with various bands, but I just did not know that there were things like Tracktion out there. I thought it was either: Protools, 2 inch Analog tape, or total shit. (A false impression that I got from engineers whose beautiful gear outstripped their knowledge of how to use it.)

It took me a while to figure out that most of what I wanted was available at prices that even my poor self could afford. And even now I have a perpetual silly smile on my face. I am hearing, for the first time, things that I wrote 15 YEARS AGO!!! I am shaking my houses foundations with my very own music, which can go from notation to c.d. without me leaving my living room!! I mean, that is so cool!!!!

I feel like I am really alive for the first time.

And so....
Thank You Krakli.
Thank You Ichiro Toda.
Thank You Jules.
Thank You whoever made Crystal.
Thank You DigitalFishPhones.
Thank You Kjaerhus Audio.
Thank You Ephonic.
Thank You all!!!!!

And most of all THANK YOU KVR

I share this sentitment exactly. It amazing what we can do with tools that are very affordable. When I think the Frank Zappa spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the latest technology at the time and renting an orchestra and he could not get close to what we can achieve with a computer and a few hundred (or if we go higher end, thousand) dollars. Of course without resources like k-v-r, using this technology would still be well out of my reach.
