@Mesh I'm guessing you're after a $29 to complete your ovox order ? if not h-reverb is a possibility - it does 5.1 if that kinda thing matters to you ?

what's on your goto brass list ?

blasphemy !!

that headstock sure is ugly though 😱

also - just posted in larry's 8dio percussion thread raving about SD3 - but I really think it's amazing - so I've come back here to rave as well 😍 playing with the new pack and totally worth getting - there are stacks and stacks of snares and kicks - all sound great (the 1920 black beauty is my current fave). They throw in a single kit of toms/cymbals to give the presets some context...and there are a lot of presets for those who are into that kinda thing. The snares also have some extra added channels (sub/skin-lo/skin-hi/stick). Still working out what they do anybody hesitating.....well buy now before they sell out !!!!! (fwiw using SD3 not ezdrummer so dunno what you'd have access to in EZD)

I bought a few 8dio things over the last few months, mainly the BF sales.....I'm feeling very 'meh' about all of them. Very variable in quality - some are massive CPU hogs or take aggggeeesss to looooaaaaddddd. A lot of them are not that inspiring or flexible and the documentation is very weak. If I had my time again I wouldn't have bothered. as always, just MO Gonna compare apples and oranges, but for those with SD3 - https://www.timespace.com/products/toontrack-sdx-orchestral-percussion absolutely first rate - and 120 instruments - up to 11-channel surround - midi files - great documentation. Makes that 8dio package look like a freebie - 100% worth the extra https://www.toontrack.com/product/orchestral-percussion-sdx/ watch/listen to the demos (I don't work for toontrack honestly !)

looking forward to that

"Includes a selection of backbeat-oriented MIDI grooves performed by Darby Todd" (Rhyming slang for something I suspect) (PS - has everybody played drums with The Darkness as some point ? - they are like Spinal Tap)

it does say "The raw content for the Kicks & Snares EZX was recorded over a long period of time" - so that made me a bit suspicious. I wonder if they are just outakes from other products ?

"Never-before-released material recorded in eight different top studios in Australia and the UK" edit those kind of things are like catnip to me .....sigh - £51 lighter

hard to know if this is a rehash of other expansions - doing some digging to see if I can find out

so this is the pro version of the 'micro'.... priced a bit too expensive IMO, Full price is $99

that's always the PA voucher gamble...... in my experience you shouldn't worry too much. I don't have the Herbert but the MC77 is worth getting here's Zo's guide

next time try everyplugin.com - (other discount websites are available). Even better, you could donate the $5 you save on that $29 to a charity of your choosin' . Larry, without fail, posts the best place to buy these updates, including the discount codes to use. He's saved me a bundle this week......or maybe he cost me a bundle 😲...it's why were are here ! either way, you'll have zero 'payment protection' problems, honest.

playing is fine - piano sound is meh IMO feel like I being a bit mean but the full package is $699 a fool and their money etc etc etc

Sorry, I'm officially calling bullsh*t on this http://www.supremepiano.com/index.html?upright.html blah blah blah tecawards 3 nominations since 2014 https://www.soundonsound.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=69436&p=640110&hilit= 2019 tecawards nominee in "MUSICAL INSTRUMENT SOFTWARE" category - blah blah blah https://www.tecawards.org/nominees/2019/technical "MUSICAL INSTRUMENT SOFTWARE" EastWest Sounds Hollywood Choirs Output Analog Brass & Winds PPG Infinite PRO Spitfire Hans Zimmer Drum Library Waves Bass Slapper Waves Piano & Keys Bundle If you are looking for reasons not to do anything artistically meaningful tonight then take a look at the nominations for 2015 or 2016 or 2017 or 2018 errr.....?

...also, why does the youtube video have "alexa" doing the voiceover ? I get it that not everybody has english as a first language - but if this is normally a $149 library then they can do a better video. sorry for being so cynical but something not quite legit about this...mind you I'm still using ivory as my main piano and that's from the dark ages...

who knows - obviously all that really matters is how does it play, or how does it sound. I'm a sucker for a beautiful piano - but I also like a bit of reality in the way they market stuff .......

well it does have: 65,536 velocity layers and around 1000 layers have an audible difference what about the other 64,536 layers - zero difference ? confuuused ?

400gb !?!?

plus this initiates a firmware update on the m32

run native access to update can't seem to cut'n'paste from NA but basically: Komplete Kontrol adds midi mode assignments for A-series and M32 keyboards (hurray) Maschine - boring updates

as above...plus...cough....everyplugin.com..cough insane to buy from waves directly
