So... you're wanting (the completely fictitious as far as I know) Superior Keys?

"La la la la la... I'm lovin' it"

For those not in the know (i.e. me), what's the relationship between the Adagio, Agitato, and Anthology series?

The impression I got of the Play series are that they are pick-up-and-play instruments: good for inspiration/putting ideas down quickly.

As far as I understand, MODO Bass is fully modelled; for MODO Drum, the drums are modelled (or mostly are) but the cymbals are sampled. I'm open to correction if I'm wrong.

Programming by mouse - finger drumming is on my to-learn list. Maybe the simple truth is that I'm 'hitting' the main drums too hard in relation to the cymbals: I'm not a real drummer, so don't know the 'velocities' that they would play at.

I remember signing up for a similar deal for Lunatic Audio - did they release anything other than a VST Pong game?

Not really - I (personally) found it to be the case on most of the kits. If the mic'ing is typical, I probably just need better technique for mixing drums - I find that when I try to bring up the rides to a good level, then the bleeds of the drums (e.g. kick/snare) become overpowering; when I try to tame those, the cymbals end up sounding a bit naff. I know you can turn down/off the bleeds in SD3, or do a dedicated ride mic (which is what I've been doing so far); I'm always happy to learn new techniques though, so happy to receive any drum mixing advice.

If available, demo/walkthrough videos are a big clue. Sometimes the product descriptions will say things like 10,000 samples, deep-sampled, or 5 round-robins for multi-sampled instruments. Generally, the orchestral/piano/guitar/voice ones are multi-sampled; the Hybrid Tools series are more loop based.

Do you have any examples? (i.e. a 'secret' way of asking what libraries we might want to put on our sales-wishlists 😁)

As we've mentioned other drum software, does anyone find that the ride in SD3 (that by default is only captured by the overhead mic) is very quiet? I know you can modify the mics and assign a dedicated ride mic, but it seems a little strange to me to have this as a default setup. Disclaimer: I've never mic'ed up a real drumset so if this is how you might typically do the mics, I'm happy to stand corrected.

I was hoping that as it was modelled, it'd be able to do brushes/mallets. Alas, not the case... (yet?)

Sounds very cool - are the whispers separate instruments/patches, or are they baked into the vocals?

This looks really good. Does how you draw have any effect on the sound? e.g. does left/right affect panning, or does drawing faster/slower affect pitch? Are the rendered .wav files mono, or stereo? (Sorry for the question-barrage)

Not sure which coupon you mean, but their Bundle Maker coupons probably work; not sure if the free gift applies to the pre or post coupon price though.

Just as a side point, so are probably all of your lithium ion batteries and motherboards

Does anyone have any of their post-2018 orders showing up on JRR yet? I saw somewhere that they said they're slowly being restored, but it'd be interesting to know if anyone here has had theirs restored yet.

Welcome back, Larry!

If you've been paying attention, you'd know by now that it's either GROUP, or FORUM 😁

You'll probably love ADAPTIVERB, but in case you're looking for yet another special FX reverb, have a look at Polyverse Comet (not on sale right now)

Could be wrong, but I think the new one is for Ozone 9 that comes in the Tonal Balance Bundle. I think personal sales are permitted, but you're not allowed to post a price.

Did you have a price range in mind?

I think things have got better since 2005 and streaming services are partly the reason why; they started to introduce levels that music will be adjusted to. When a song is mastered really loud it sounds 'great' on hearing initially, because we perceive louder to be better. However, when that same loud song is brought back down, the lack of dynamics makes the song sound really weak when compared to a song that was mastered to the same output level. In the video, the interviewer says something along the lines of the loudness wars are over and 'you won'.
