But an irritating website …

Kind of slow, but here you are the direct link to the free pack, so you can do a single "purchase" instead of 6:
https://soundprops.com/jam_pack/

Sometimes the downloads would stop and I had to resume them, or retry downloading.

To me it was worth it, even when I own SD3 and several SDX etc (ofc there is no comparison in a way, but for a very tiny bit of the size of a 100 Gb library this whole pack again, it's so worth it).

More freebies from SoundProps

https://soundprops.com/freebies/

These feel like stealing, very good quality I believe.

They really thought through to make them very playable.

Even the TELE sounds like a Tele.

For the drums they give you 2 keys for each tom, kick, snare, hihats 3 positions, so it doesn't sound like a robot.
LOVE this kit.
(choke for the 2 cymbals it comes with, wow, ride bell tip and edge, crash edge too.
For free? wow.
(bonus: claps and shaker, uff).

Legato on guitars sounds pretty good, Alabama I think it's better than the Alhambra, but that's just me I think (bass and the tele have legato too)

BASS: Oh lord, they somehow fixed what others cannot replicate: Same note repetition: They give you 3 keys! not 2, but 3 so you play the consecutively after your desired one and it repeats it, or said different, they repeat the last note you played (it seems it uses the borrow the neighbor note technique).
Tone and body is pretty good.

Overall I think this deserves an 8.5 out of 10 (and that's just because recording quality wise maybe there is room for improvement), paid for or not.

So you just tried now and it worked again? If so, were you on a computer or mobile phone? 

Sorry Pav, nope, just now I found the time to capture a screenshot.

Looks great!

Evil Dragon is the best Forumist in the world (sorry Fleer, you are close 2nd) 🥰,

and if ED confirmed stuff on the VI Control thread, that is enough for me to stay away forever.

Specially if this behaviour has continued for years and years.

We are not milking cows.

If devs can't keep up with the change of times, they better change career.

Softube and Toontrack are awesome, very expensive, and are Silicon Native compatible. (I have lots of their stuff but they were a gift).

And I don't hear them complaining (nor Reaper, nor Steinberg Cubase, etc, etc).

And not everyone lives in USA or Europe (and not all Europe earns decent dough).

With 29 bucks I can white rice with salt for... 8 months (if that's all I ate).

If all companies went subscription mode, even if they promised updates... we would have WW III, lol

Not silicon compatible.

In other words Cubase 12 won't load them because they are Intel architecture.

Is Mark Studio 2 discontinued?

I've been waiting for ages now to be updated, it doesn't even have vst3 💔

EDIT: And writing support doesn't yield any replies whatsoever ...

I have both and Amek is the favourite for sure 🙂

Sweet.

If you could elaborate, that would be neat.
I have the Focusrite one (don't we all 😎)

Coming up on the 9th Australian time (or thereabouts),

A Darts game (not really, but hey. . . ), so get your throwing arm ready.

The winner gets,

Any Plugin Alliance Plugin for $1US

Adhering to PA's rules, I believe Gig Performer is not counted as a 'Plug-in'.

OMG! I want the last Console one, 9000 J?  Or is it the AMEK one?

And so the King begins the year! Happy new one! And thanks for it all. 🥰

This little bugger is very interesting, random presets ad nauseam (and like 3 or 4 different sounds, maybe more), apparently uses ADSR to create them.

Also think that this one and Xperiments' recent one (Dark Sky Audio), which I find beyond stellar, could be edited with your own samples, achieving probably infinite sounds as you have time to tinker.

So glad I'm on a PC. 😉 

I love my Macbook Air M1 to death.

I wrote them and they fixed it like a week later 🤗 (too me that's very fast).

No vst3 for mac, only au, so I can't test with Cubase 12, sad face.

Happy B day!

Xperiments by Dark Sky Audio (Kontakt full 6 & 7) is now available. https://www.darkskyaudio.com/

Massive cinematic sci-fi sounds, huge modular and analog samples, fully fledged multi-mode filter, crazy multi-fx and more.

• Easily intensify the sound with dedicated macros and modulation controllers, or dive deeper into Xperiment’s filters and multi-fx.

Need to supply email  & subscribe

Tried it - 99 patches, very analog-y, lots of potential to mangle

 

I changed my mind... YOU win 2022!  Thank youuuuu

@Kal Elle - I think if you create a user account you will then see the pick one freebie sound pack list from this link https://www.applied-acoustics.com/portal/gift/ . AAS is a great company and they don't spam at all. BTW, I'm glad you asked the question because it made me take a closer look at the page and I found a $49 upgrade path for my Lounge Lizard Session version to the full version. 

It redirects me to https://www.applied-acoustics.com/portal/products/ (I made a new account). 

Glad my inquiries lead to something useful.

I got so many stuff not having AA software wouldn't be the end of the world.

Just being curious.

Cheers.

Niky wins 2022! Thanks for the heads up 😎

@Kal Elle - any of the many presets for Chroma, Studio Strings, Lounge Lizard and Ultra Analog will play with their AAS Player so if you hear something you like in the demos the patches for that sound pack will be playable for you. The limitation is you can't edit them.

Thank you Doug, is just I go here https://www.applied-acoustics.com/portal/offers/ and all I see is $19 stuff. Not a single freebie.

I don't know how AA works at all X)

OH! It's a preset freebie, sad face.

I don't have any of their products.

First pics show the room you stayed in?

That's a whole apartment!

How much the trip was?

What a BLAST!

Have to catch up now...then back to it tomorrow!

I hope you saw many T....ts! (if you like those things, sorry if I assumed your sexuality /you can just say yes 💔) 😛

Or maybe you spent a lot of time gambling.

I know (I think) you mentioned your itinerary.

What I mean is... W E L C O M E    B A C K ! 🤗
