Do you miss not having a real orchestra, or do you prefer the control that you have over your synthesisers?
That's a good question. I miss having the real orchestra; it will never sound as good as the real thing. It's a lot of hard work getting it to sound realistic and just hours and hours and hours of each day go by just in trying to make the thing sound real.
I could spend more of my time actually writing the music instead of trying to emulate the orchestra ,and so it would actually save time. But on the other hand I've got more control over it, so it's the best of both worlds a little bit. I would like to have more live instruments, that would be nice.
