These are things my friends wish for me to prioritize.<\/p>\n<p>The real toy I &quot;got&quot; for Christmas were two pieces of Native Instruments software &#8212; the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gregbueno.com\/index.php\/vexvox\/entry\/3940\/\">previously mentioned<\/a> Guitar Rig 4 Pro and Kontakt 4.<\/p>\n<p>Kontakt 4 comes with samples from the <a href=\"http:\/\/vsl.co.at\/\">Vienna Symphonic Library<\/a>, perhaps the most thorough orchestral sample library out there. I haven&#8217;t used Kontakt much on this remix project, but I did use a string ensemble on one song. Oh, my. It sounded good, but the articulations were limited. I guess it&#8217;s time to start saving my pennies for something either <a href=\"http:\/\/vsl.co.at\/en\/211\/261\/182.vsl\">slightly<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/vsl.co.at\/en\/211\/442\/607.vsl\">extremely<\/a> more extensive.<\/p>\n<p>Guitar Rig 4 Pro and Battery 3, which I bought back in September, have been my workhorses on this remix project. As much as I love how Reason allowed me to fake guitar parts, Guitar Rig allows me to have the real deal (or as much as a real deal with my limitations.)<\/p>\n<p>For my patronage, Native Instruments offered me some vouchers to take a few bucks off of other instruments in their catalog. One of them was set to expire at the end of December, so I also got a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.native-instruments.com\/#\/en\/products\/producer\/powered-by-kontakt\/balinese-gamelan\/\">gamelan sample library<\/a>. I have no idea what I&#8217;m going to do with it yet, but I&#8217;ve got visions of the <em>Akira<\/em> soundtrack dancing in my head.<\/p>\n<p>Wow. All this talk of these new toys makes me want to play with them.<\/p>\n<p>Excuse me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As years go by, the difficulty of shopping for me during the holidays gets compounded.
