Maybe some kind person can list the most helpful hints here. We will close the other forum at the end of the month.

ONE really helpful hint:

Set aside a few days for EWQLSO. Maybe even a week.

Don't do anything else than just load up all samples, play them, feel them and see how you musically interact with them.

You will get ideas based on how individual instruments/sections sound.

Very often, the secret behind authentically sounding tracks is that they are composed for the resources at hand. Not always trying to make the library do what you want, but realising what the library 'IS* and compose for the library. Make use of it's strengths and its personality.

Look at each section and instrument as individuals, and have their personality and character in mind when you compose.

The *way* the instruments were played when recorded by EW and the way they sound will help you to compose better and get more realistic ideas of what to do.

Hi Doug,

What happens to the archives that contain such a wealth of information? I know I've learned a great deal from these and I'm sure other new users would continue to benefit if these were available.

I think that is absolutely dead on! I hear an awful lot of people not paying
attention to that.
That is probably one of the single biggest keys to this work.
That is precisely why Nick and Doug's demos sound so great.

A library has a personality. You have to go with that. Let it be what
it is.
