That's pretty good..I remember back in the early 70s when we thought we had really done something when two radio stations had agreed to simulcast an album,(probably Jimi Hendrix or someone like that, and we set up two "stereos" to take it all in...hahahaha

I have a recording studio, where I have all kinds of recording equipment, spectral enhancers, and so on... there I have a Kurzweil keyboard used for scoring films... I actually performed and recorded Rach 2 on to different tracks and now have a finished recording of the work with every instrument played by me, including the piano... Mercy. Now that is a piece of heaven on earth. I have heard a lot about Kurzweil’s stuff, but never really had the chance to play with it. I tried what you’ve accomplished ages ago, but without much success. I have a friend in the city who bought an Emulator II (this was about 17 years ago, I’m sure a lot has changed). He told me it was like an orchestra in a box “JUST like the real thing”. So, I go over, salivating, and notice the piano samples are all too “tinty.” And I could not work with it in any way to make them warmer. Strings were all wrong, very “electronic”. Brass was fake, as were the woodwinds. Percussion were “okay.” I went ahead and laid down several tracks of something I had written, a little chamber work. But it never impressed me very much. I have the different instrumental ensembles grouped together, and each group is recorded separately onto different tracks... I love the power that comes from the crescendos when the piano is working hard to stay over the orchestra... Well, this is really what I’d like to do at some point. I don’t have a real recording studio. I have some stuff that I use to record me live, an old board, an old Teac multitrack, old mikes, old everything. No midi, in fact no digital anything – all analog. Embarassing.
