I would like to create a forum on realistic sounding artificial music (e.g. by sampling) using Software synthesizers based on samples or Hardware Samplers
I really had trouble to get realistic sounds out of my scores (except for when they were actually played by musicians), until I recently (re)discovered the Swedish software package Reason 2.0 (see under "MP3 Files" header).

I guess I am not the only one who is interested in more realistic sounds.
So I will try to compile information on that subject.

Here will come information on Gigasampler
