Dude! It's MIROSLAV!

[Caleb]

I once again can not help but feel that this is another situation where the "name" of something is unjustly influencing buying decisions.

For example if you could have 36 suspended cymbals instead of 1 wouldn't you want the 36? If you could have 19 snare drums and 21 Glockenspiel mallets wouldn't you rather have that than 1 choice of each?

These are the things I don't get... Libraries such as mine don't have the "Miroslav" name but are 1000% bigger and better and rarely get mentioned. I guess the point I'm trying to make is check out all the options that are out there.

Here are some demos of mine if you are interested:

Donnie - you've got some good stuff for sale including that incredible Solo Flute, but if you purchased all of your libraries you would not have a complete orchestra and you would have cost considerably more than Philharmonik. This product is for the people who want an orchestra on a budget, not for those who want 100 velocity layers of snare drum.

It's no surprise that more of these products are coming out because there's a demand from those who can't afford the big libraries to get a reasonable quality orchestra for a much less expensive price tag.

I may well buy this product because I like the company, I like the engine and I want an orchestra on a budget like the next guy.

But I also will slowly buy bits and pieces of other libraries where I find exceptional quality at a reasonable price. DC Solo Flute for example.

Donnie,
im waiting for an answer regarding my sample libraries bought during your xmas sale.
if you have the time going to internet forums why not answering my emails and taking care of the case.
thanks.

I still don't have anything either... and Donnie don't reply to emails...
Martin Nadeau does but Cannot really do anything.
Donnie, i'm very very disapointed with your support !

Sorry that's not the subject of this thread...
But donnie, that maybe the reason why you don't have the succes you think you should have...

Yeah - pretty big difference between a $300.00 orchestral percussion set and a $500.00 full orchestra.

And even the $500.00 full orchestra is too expensive for most people to really consider. Heheh, me included this is sad... I'm never going to be able to get an orchestral library

So, Mr. Christian, your problem is probably not kids who say "Oooooh, Miroslav, must buy! All the PROOOOS use it!" because it's too expensive for them anyway - as is your stuff. I'd tend to think that most professionals who are in the market actually care enough about sound and quality to take a look at the actual quality, except for that rich talentless bunch, in reference to which I think you have a point. "Haha, no REAL composer uses anything but VSL Platinum - you're wasting your time if you think you make REAL music with anything but that!"

got a email from Martin Nadeau explaining the delay. hope this gets now sorted, but im still a bit pissed that Donnie havent had replied (thats the least thing one can/had to do).

its a great time to be a classical/film composer

but not such a great time to aspire to be one (the heavy competition and lack of demand makes such an endeavor foolhardy if you want to eat every once in a while).

ha, i dont think it's all about the gigs available. there will always be a monopoly of film soundtracks in the hands of a few great composers. dont let that discourage you! but at least now it's possible to make a demo. it wasnt so easy before to sound convincing.

and dont forget about a new market for video game soundtracks as well as the growth in independant filmmakers as digital film technology has been improving.
