It's disappointing that Worra's Place is now completely gone, or I can't find it. It was a good resource for small, free Lo-fi type gigs. Also GlassTrax used to sell Bigga Gigga of which I bought maybe 10 of the libraries - mostly synths like Mellotron, Arp, String Boxes, etc. they were fun but don't seem available anymore. I'm not even sure if Garritan actually sells the GOS/GOS Lite products anymore or whether it's just the GPO product now. I have a copy of GOS Lite but found it difficult to use well. Nice sounds though. I've been so focused on using what I own that I hadn't noticed what a mess is for the new sampler user. Seems to me the Linux community might do well to focus on one or two players - GPO and maybe the Kontakt player - and then make sure they work well on Linux using wine or whatever. Even non-GPL LinuxSampler won't help you if you can't buy samples anymore... - Mark _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
