To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hi everyone
So...we made it through to Phase 2 of the ModDB Awards. Now you can vote for us all over again (if you like our work).

And, it would be even more awesome, if you could register on the website - as your vote is worth more as a registered member than a guest, however, we leave that up to you.
Thank you for your continued interest in our project!
Got my vote 🙂
Hey fourteentone, I left a post for you in another thread which I think you might've missed so I'll paste it here, below.

Glad to have you aboard fourteentone (is that a reference to a micro-tonal scale?). I'm a composer out here in LA as well, nice to have a fellow musician. Was that a real piano in the trailer? Heck of a sample if not. The solo violin was a sample though, yes? What are you using? Your vocalist did a beautiful job as well.
So when do they call winner on this?
Hey Shant,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
Piano library is EW Pianos (the full 260 GB version).
Violin is EW Gypsy
Other instruments are an assortment of private samples, and commercially available ones.
I genuinely am of the belief though, that it's not more samples that we need, but skills in how to use them properly.
I voted a wile ago m8 😉 Am curious how is the final version of this mod gonna look.

Indeed, if you know what you're doing you can take a relatively poor or dated sample and make it sound quite convincing. EQ can work wonders if you know how to use it, and its been my experience that most people have the wrong approach (or no approach at all) in their application of reverb.
That said, for my money I like to have the best of both worlds, ie top notch samples to go with the knowledge of how to use them properly. I think the piano in your demo is a perfect illustration of that. Even someone with a trained ear would have a hard time distinguishing that from the real thing. Nicely done, again! 😎
