  1. I have become a fan of the Spitfire Studio Brass (I use the core version): https://www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/instruments/brass/spitfire-studio-brass/ The sound is nice and there is a plethora of articulations there.

    One that I use a lot is Performance Samples' Caspian: https://performancesamples.com/caspian/ This is quite the opposite of a long list of articulations, but the are extremely playable and the sound is very cool.

    Don' have this, but their Trailer Brass is very very nice: https://www.musicalsampling.com/adventurebrass/

    I've also heard a lot of raving about CSS: https://www.cinematicstudioseries.com/brass.html

    There is also still this... ;)

    As a long time user of Sonar/CbB I wanted to give you guys something a little special. I may have an extra discount code for those interested in my product. Throw me message on this board and I'll share the code. And guys and gals remember, this is hush hush.

  3. You have some nice ideas here and the low brass sound you are using is very visceral.

    What troubles me is that the instruments do not mix coherently. I don't feel that they are in the same space. Maybe check the spatialization and levels of everything. And check your reverb, a good reverb is essential to a coherent orchestal mix. I would also add low end, now everything feels very thin, even the visceral low brass.

    I would also pay attention to the dynamics of the piece. When the harp comes it is clearly a place to have a somewhat mellower sounds, but the harp plucks at full tilt all the time. Dynamics is what makes the louder parts of the track stand out. As they are now only the final 15 seconds feel to be any other dynamic than full.

    They cannot do it :) It is about psychology :) We need to have impression how much we can 'save' buying their plugins 'occasionally' :)

    They are managing our motivation...

    They should just go overboard with the reason and do sales for reasons like "we had damn good coffey today so 30% off!" :D

  5. I like this new approach by Sample Logic. No more 1000+ use-one-time-sounddesign-patches but a properly sampled percussion library. Picked it up and I do like the sound. It feels organic and is the same vain as SAGA from Red Room Audio. Will work perfectly with other libraries.

    Okay cool. What about Reaktor? Or would that require breaking the bits apart too much and creating a sort of revealing the wizard behind the curtain scenario?

    Reaktor doesn't quite cut it. It's not really meant for this sort of thing, Reaktor isn't at it's best when dealing with samples.

    There's no real magic involved, everything I've done can be seen in the patches (well except the 5 synth patches). The biggest thing is what I've recorded and what I've chosen to use as soundsources. :)

    Any plans to make this for Halion or Kontakt?

    At currently no. I do not own Halion and quite a bit of the patches run heavily on the granular synthesis in Omnisphere so Kontakt is not a very good host for them. I did not want to hinder the usage of the sounds by making them into long WAVs that would be run inside a Kontakt interface. I wanted the patches to have a more room for change. :)

    But I have plans for other libraries that will utilize Kontakt. Actually my next one will be made for Kontakt and Battery (and it will have uncompressed WAVs as well). :) But that is another story... ;)
