  • Too Many New Toys!

    Posted on February 26th, 2010 PurpleRhapsody No comments

    Well – after wanting the Complete Composers Collection for so long, now that I’ve finally got it I’m kind of overwhelmed! I’m watching tutorial videos, playing with mod wheels, trying out new sounds (choirs, rock guitars, gypsy violins, etc, etc) and now with all this choice how do I pick and choose what gets used in various tracks????

    I guess you’ll just have to watch this space – I’ll post snippets as and when I finally get something recorded.

    Cheers,

    Terry.

  • Big Purchase – Complete Composers Collection

    Posted on February 14th, 2010 PurpleRhapsody No comments

    Well… those that know me will realise that my love and respect for my wife know no bounds. So I can’t say that I love her more than I did, however she has made me a very very very very happy musician!

    It’s my birthday next Sunday and after prevaricating for roughly 9 months about whether or not to get more East West Quantum Leap software she has persuaded me to take advantage of the current 70% off the Complete Composer Collection.

    I have customised it slightly because I already have the Orchestra and don’t need the Pianos so I’ve replaced them with Ministry of Rock and the Stormdrum 2 PRO upgrade so when it arrives I’ll have almost the complete suite that they produce.

    The quality of the Orchestra is absolutely superb, the care and attention they take over recording the sounds and creating the samples is unsurpassed so I’m immensely looking forward to next weekend when FedEx will hopefully have delivered them.

    Anyway, enough of an advert for East West :) and back to figuring out how I can thank my wife for my birthday present…

    Cheers,

    Terry.

  • My Music is on Jango.com?

    Posted on February 9th, 2010 PurpleRhapsody No comments

    I was surprised to find my music on Jango.com while surfing the web the other week. They’ve managed to get one of my tracks – Empty Stage – on there but I know that I didn’t upload it and I hadn’t signed up to them.

     

    I’m not complaining! Any outlet for my music is welcome… but I am curious as to how they got my details. The profile picture they’ve got is from my ReverbNation page but I didn’t think ReverbNation would have allowed another site to stream my music…

     

    Anyway, I’ve associated myself with the account and updated some Bio details on there but if anyone knows where they source their music from I’d be grateful if they could explain it to me!

     

    Cheers,

    Terry.
