Good yo know it.

See: maybe if you go to a big band and you ask them to sample their 
instruments, they coul accept, there are big bands, orchestras, amateur ones 
or not, that could be friendly.

Here in La Plata there are a few, but I never talked with them: I could.

Also, I could buy a good sound card like the M-Audio ones, and the a condenser 
microphone: I really like to sample instruments, but, I dont have enought 
time for now, friends.

I study sociology, sing in a choir, play with a rock band, write for 
mastermagazine.info, and make Musix GNU+Linux: too much for me!

But, some day, I will make those samples, I did it in the past (low quality 
ones, and not what we need), and I could make it in the future... 

mmmm... the only thing that could make me desist is if I go to live to an 
ecovillage (or if I have many kids!!): www.gaia.org.ar or www.chobita.org 
(but in the last one they have a Free Sofrware cooperative, so I could remain 
in my tasks :-)
