Very good points Desire, unfortunately most people don´t have access to real orchestras :), for me it´s more that I really feel good when I make this type of music and it comes quite naturally to me. Most of these orchestral pieces I did in just a few hours each, so the time spent is not that great, but of course it´s better to concentrate on something that works in the real world. I somehow feel like I´m painting a picture when I make these, and often I do like the result, so something is gained I guess.
When fighting to get into selling the music though you need to fight the big boys, and then a solitary musician has a hard time against the studios, but some have made it and do wonderful stuff in my opinion.
Thank you all for these points, I really do appreciate it 🙂
