<<UPDATE>> We have a winner! @col got it, so please send me a PM or email me and give me your email address and we'll get you hooked up.
What was interesting about this was that five other people besides col had Top 12 DAWS, Woman's Composition, and Gibson Bankruptcy in all the other possible orders. Col took the fifth possible ordering, then right after col, @Airforceguitar took the only remaining ordering and had it perfect except for switching 2 and 3. I have to wonder ... did AFG actual want col's ordering, but col took it first?
For everyone else, in case you're wondering how close your guesses were, here are the top nine:
1. Top 12 DAWs
2. Gibson Bankruptcy
3. Woman's 100 Year Old Composition
4. Composing in 96k, Summing at 192k
5. Thinkspace Offering Stems
6. My Situation, Any Advice?
7. 2 Smaller Displays or 1 Big One
8. Chamber Strings
9. Converting NKIs
I don't know about you, but this was fun! Thank you to all who played, and especially to Jasper of Performance Samples. Hopefully we can do this again.

The Contest:
For each newsletter, Mailchimp tells me how many clicks each of the links got. It’s been very interesting, and often surprising, to see which topics come out on top. Someday I’ll post about I've learned, but in the meantime … it might be fun if we guess. So here’s the contest:
From last week’s newsletter, guess which three posts (in order), got the most unique clicks. (“Unique” means that if one person clicked a whole bunch of times, it still only counts as one click.) Then post your answer (the three thread titles in 1,2,3 order) in this thread. First person to guess them in correct order wins!
Oh wait … you haven’t been saving all our newsletters? What??? I have never been so insulted! Oh, all right, fortunately there’s a web version of it. Click here to see it.
What do you win, you might ask? Well, here’s the best part:
Performance Samples released their Con Moto Cellos library a few days ago and it seems to be very popular, so I asked Jasper if he’d be interested in offering that, since it would be nice to coordinate a new release with the contest. Well, he did us one better - he suggested how about if he offers Con Moto Cellos … PLUS:
Oceania (their thematic choirs library),
Caspian (their thematic brass library), and
Fluid Shorts (a spiccatos library featuring the Capellan Orchestra)!
All four! This is great, because as we’ve seen on the forum (as well as the buzz at NAMM), Performance Samples is a serious new player in this game and Jasper is raising the bar in realism. Whether you enter the contest or not, you should seriously check these out.
Good luck to everyone and thank you again to Jasper Blunk and Performance Samples!
Rules and fine print:
1. One guess per person. (Please don't create new profiles to make more guesses.)
2. A single winner (the first to guess correctly) wins all four libraries.
3. In the event that no one guesses correctly by Monday or Tuesday, then whoever is closest will win. "Closest" will be defined in this order:
a.) The three top threads are guessed, but in the wrong order. In that case, here is the ranking of who is closest: 1-3-2, 2-1-3, 2-3-1, 3-1-2, 3-2-1.
b.) If no one qualifies for a), then whoever guesses #1 and #2 correctly (in correct order) but #3 is wrong. Person with highest ranking for their #3 guess wins.
c.) If no one qualifies for b), then whoever guesses #1 and #2 correctly (but in reversed order) but #3 is wrong. Person with highest ranking for their #3 guess wins.
d.) We don't need d).
4. People who have worked for me in the last year are not eligible. (I hate to do that, but that would look really bad.)
5. Subject to laws or whatever that disclaimer is that everybody always puts in these things.
6. Performance Samples LLC is not administering this contest. The contest is being conducted entirely by VI-Control LLC.
7. VI-Control reserves the right to change the rules or even cancel this whole thing if something goes wrong. (Like if there's a typo that says everybody wins all the Performance Samples libraries ... that would be bad!) It's my first time doing this, so please bear with me if things get messy.
