Now, in my honest opinion, there are very minor flaws in the piece. But it is for the most part, very accurate. All I can say is that if Zeo is new at this, then he's very good for a beginner, 'cos it is a very tight recording.

Here's something Ronnie didn't know. Quite often, recordings that he will have heard would have been entirely midi based, even though sounding like an authentic orchestra. The Dark Knight for example, the entire score was made ENTIRELY on Cubase, and there isn't a real instrument to be found in it, all midi.

Right, sorry to jump in late in the game, but I'd thought I'd wait until I had something really valid to say.

Edit: If those were serious comments, then I'd hate to see what an unserious one is. 'Cos quite frankly, what little criticism that was out there was outweighed by needless insulting.

And as far as the Millennium Dome goes, I could care less if it was there or not, but this case is a much more personal thing, so I think a more intelligent answer than "it's shit" is needed. I know you said more about it than that, but you played particular emphasis on the "it's shit" part. And what's more, you went on and on about it in later posts.
Maybe the best thing that could've been done is for you to have said your piece then left it, 'cos you didn't bring anything else to the table that Zeo could've taken away and thought about to improve his work. Instead of just dragging the same points over and over.

I declare Ben the winner of the thread for these two posts.
