And of course the opera singers like it ... it can play in any key, even the ones the opera singers make up as they go along ...

Or if you have no (or little) money to begin with.

Isn't that called a "Skeleton key"?

If it's so good, and high tech, how come no samples to click on?
The B'way virtual orchestras were also supposed to be very good, very high tech, we never heard them or saw them in action. It's a lot of hype by a bunch of pseudo-music techies...lets hear the goods!

who auditions them and how do I get first chair??
And - I hope I get a refund if there's a black out and the orchestra dies!
God - he's an Aussie - moronic idea - I certainly would NEVER go hear a "virtual orchestra" and if Opera Australia ever decided to go down THAT track I'd never darken their hallways again.
Without music, the world would be grey, very grey.

One of the main problems with this sort of thing lays directly at the feet of the audience. It is a sad indictment but a large proportion of audiences do not know the difference between a real performance and canned music. If I purchased tickets to see a live show and was presented with canned music I would be sueing them for fraud!

Indeed, Mark, but then again we are "real" musicians - not "virtual" ones.
