A beautiful song, Rex - well done!

Love it, Jack - you've got some really creative stuff against that groove!

A mesmerising video - well done! Did you create the video first, and then score it; or put the video to music?

The trailer feels very "Apple"

Just curious - was it that there were some developers that didn't have a sale, or that the discount wasn't steep enough?

Thanks for the vote of confidence - fingers crossed!

Thanks for taking the time to listen everyone!

Very nice - the guitar delays give a very open feel to the piece. I like it!

Great vocals in a great mix - I enjoyed that one

Nice song - some great playing too. I like it!

A really catchy tune and impressive vocals - the video's really cool too!

As ever, great playing and mix. I love the question-and-answer phrasing towards the beginning and end of the piece - very cool!

Really great song - good vibe and well mixed. Love the instrumental break in the middle too!

Hi Gary I had another listen to both versions, and I'd have to say that I ever so slightly prefer the AAMS mix - the vocals seem to have a bit more 'body' to them. I'd also agree with the comments from the other forum: something sounds fizzy/distorted; not sure if that's an effect that's a little too hot, or maybe a recording that might benefit from cleaning up somehow. As others have said, you have some great material here - my comments are coming from an over-analytical engineering mindset.

For anyone needing strings for fast and agile parts, take a look at Century Ostinato Strings - I used those in the opening section of my entry in Heavyocity's trailer scoring competition.

I find the description of how the course came to be quite interesting - that his son had perfect pitch, but wasn't as strong on recognising relative pitch. It reminded me of what I saw on one of Adam Neely's videos once on describing the different 'levels' of pitch recognition; someone with perfect pitch hears the pitch exactly as is (and knows which note it is), but isn't (necessarily) able to tell the relation between the two notes. I'm guessing that would mean you could play the same song in a different key, and they would hear it as two different songs?

Studio One: "too many updates, and paying for every single one of them"... huh? the updates are free

Companies want to be bought in two circumstances - if they're trying to grow/expand; and if they're in financial trouble. If IK is in the former situation, that's good news: if they get more funding, they can hire new staff to expand their reach and fix/update their existing product range; they might also be able to justify non-expiring downloads, and a code signing certificate too. If they're in the latter circumstance, you might not get any further updates regardless of who owns the company. I think it was to maximise their company's financial status in as little time as possible, rather than to give everyone a copy of their software. If it's a good deal, everyone will want a part of it, and spread the word so their friends can take advantage, and so on. The more purchases, the higher IK's value becomes.

You can buy them direct from Silence+Other Sound's website: https://silenceandothersounds.com/products/omen/ If you buy Omen first, you can get a discount on other libraries:

It still is - from the bottom of their website: Just a guess, but it might be like how everyone referred to Twelve Tone Systems as Cakewalk, and then the name just stuck

Not last time I checked

Think of it this way - if you buy with the subscriber discount, you'll get a discount on your product; you then get some loyalty points to add to your existing loyalty points for a bigger discount next time.

No - just full Kontakt... and an iLok 😜

Maybe they're trying to call a truce with you 😁

That's a very confusing brand name: I read the title and thought is Larry posting broadband deals too now? 🤣
