Welcome back. And no, the names have not all changed, but it otherwise has the right vibe.

What if Larry's like the dad who goes out for a pack of cigarettes and never comes back. What if he abandoned us and left us orphans? If so, considering the dad metaphor, should we: (A) be throwing a wild party or (B) realize that dad was fueling our GAS for more sample libraries and VSTs than we'll ever need and use this opportunity to reallocate our finances elsewhere Developers should be concerned and send out forces to find Larry ASAP.

Do we know when he'll be back? It's still a great forum with lots of great people, but let's face it, Larry is irreplaceable.

I know this free cello library is pretty old, but I downloaded it from VSTBuzz. A lot of people still recommend it at VI Control and I was ready to try it out and it had a bunch of errors and when I opened it in KONTAKT 6 it wouldn't make a sound. I re-dowmloaded the file and had identical issues. Has anyone got it working in KONTAKT 6 that can tell me what to do to get it working? Thanks.

Developers of all sizes I've had very positive experiences with include Izotope (A++), Native Instruments, XLN Audio, Splash Sound, 8Dio, Sampletekk, Tronsonic, Puremagnetik...I'm sure there are more, but those are the first that come to mind, developers where I had an issue or inquiry and they were really responsive, helpful and friendly. As far as customer unfriendly polices, I agree that IK's policy of charging customers to redownload products is pretty awful as well as Toontrack's pulling of upgrade pricing. Both of these companies really are poor at showing loyalty to their customers. I'm still using Superior Drummer 2 because of my distaste for Toontrack's lack of decent pricing for loyal customers.

I finally picked up M-Tron Pro and the M300 library. If you're into Trons, this is a must have. As Fleer posted, it is the best -- and I own a lot of other Tron sample libraries and VSTs (yes, my name is Peter and I am a sample hoarder).

Well, at least you're not singing it in the past tense, like Paul has to now.

Just so you know, I'm just being lighthearted. I enjoy your videos -- I love your playing. When you've gone off on musical tangents playing stuff like Stevie Wonder, I really enjoy it. I would love seeing you playing some Beatles, but I'm not seriously pushing for it. I'm just a huge Beatles fan and I just think it would be great to hear, because I bet you'd play those old songs very well. And while I don't need more piano libraries, I'd probably ending up loving this one so much that I'll eventually pick it up. I'm a total sucker for Beatle-esque and Jon Brion-esque sample libraries and effects.

The phrase is OFTEN followed by an insult, not always followed by an insult. Case in point, if you read what I wrote, it was followed by a compliment and another compliment with no insults. Both sincere. I really do appreciate this group, that's why I stick around. But Larry is the driving force behind the deals forum.

Okay, @Simeon Amburgey, I recognize a lot of what you play in your videos, from the church/gospel stuff to Stevie Wonder, Toto, secular stuff, but I really feel you need to show The Beatles more love, especially with this piano!!! Come on, at least a little "Penny Lane" or "When I'm Sixty Four." I always enjoy your playing, but I think you need to do another video for this piano where you get lost playing a Beatles medley! It is, after all, the band the piano is most famously connected to. Even if you're not a big Beatles fan, I think you need to at least try a bit for this one. Don't make me start a petition!

It's not related to this specific library, but when I visited the page I listened to an awesome demo of the not yet released Bon#Ham Drums. Wow! A couple of weeks ago I posted how I wish he would do a Bonham library and he does it! So, where ever you are AnyDayLong, I thank you and eagerly await your new library. The vibe is definitely like a really cool spin on the Bonham sound; kind of like Synthwave when a synth has a really retro sound, but is also tweaked to sound modern. I just have to say it's just plain awesome and the demo song is really cool. On another related note, I was going through my emails with libraries setting up my new DAW PC and I confirmed a suspicion a lot of us have, AnyDayLong was indeed part of Past to Future Reverbs, as a link to one of the Past to Future Reverbs went to AnyDayLong's Sound Cloud account. Friends who own KONTAKT, check these libraries out. All AnyDayLong's libraries are free except for the above library. But whether they're free or 3 €, 5 € or whatever these are just really great sounding, ready to go libraries. Here's a link to the upcoming Bonham / Zeppelin drums library: https://soundcloud.com/anydaylong/demo-bonham-drums

Electric Larry Land.

Another really good sounding drum library and free. Thanks once again to AnyDayLong. He really has a talent for drum libraries.

Okay, this brings me to the question, where is everyone from? I'm from the Chicago area in the US. I couldn't see the video.

No offense to everyone else here -- this really is a great forum with lots of great people. But the deals subforum really isn't the same without @cclarry. He truly is unreplaceable. Larry, at least when you return, you can read this thread to realize how much you were missed!

Now I am in a real dilemma. I have two Waves plugins in my cart at Everyplugin.com, but because Larry isn't here, I'm unable to pull the trigger as Larry hasn't posted about the sale with a message that says a code or no code available. Larry, we need you back soon!!!

I hope developers have planned for this. @cclarry I hope your trip goes well, you enjoy some good times with your family and that you stay healthy. It's so obvious I realize that it doesn't even need to be said, but I'll say it anyway -- this place won't be the same without you.

Interesting, I was just going through a bunch of my old software recently and found a couple of Wizoo drum sample CDs. I can't even recall the name of the sampler I was using back then,

I could use some advice. I've watched two videos on the nonlinear filter. Both focused on a synth patch. It sounded mildly appealing to me. But I am wondering, does the effect work well on say vocals or acoustic Instruments or is it mainly something you use on electronic music? I am a rocker, BTW. I do have a bunch of Kilohearts effects, so I've already invested in the Kilohearts ecosystem. I think a lot of you are also mainly rock musicians. So what kind of uses in a rock context could you imagine for this effect?

Man, if I had a bigger budget I'd absolutely buy this. It sounds really nice. Of course, the fact that Simeon is such a good player really makes me appreciate this library more -- when he gets lost in a library he loves I always seem to enjoy the journey. Even really good libraries in the hands of YouTubers who play poorly can detract from a good library, so Simeon's talent makes his videos so much more enjoyable. But this library sounds so appealing to me. I need to stop watching! It's way too tempting.

It is nice that so many people are not forgetting Terry. Of course, I keep checking hoping to see Terry has posted. If he does, let's all agree we need to figure out a way to celebrate.

cclarry I'm very confident that I can count on you! Thanks and have a great day.

Yeah, I know I'll eventually do it (I only realized after your post that I have SD2 and they're on SD3). I do love the sound of it over any other drum vst. I just wish they offered long time customers better update pricing, as I'm not going to update until I see you posting a great deal on it in the forum.

@cclarryI think I read that you used to use Addictive Drums 2 but aren't to happy with their lack of updates, I own AD2 and all but around 4 AdPacks. I own the first versions of Superior Drummer and ezDrummer, which to my ears, are my favorite drum kits of all, but Superior Drummer 2 is so expensive compared to AD2 or even what I can upgrade to the latest version of BFD for, I haven't updated to SD2 or EZ2. What are your and others thoughts? I actually like the simplicity of ezDrummer and the detailed sampling of SD, but while I really like having both, it's a lot of money to have to upgrade both. Honestly, it's just my opinion, but while I think that Toontrack makes great drum VSTs and libraries, they're not very good to loyal customers in terms of update pricing and incentives. They really should offer loyal customers better deals than they do.

I do the same thing. Right now I have a couple of $6USD KLANG libraries in my wish list ready to go in case I want the next freebie. I didn't pick up the current one. Do you really like it @Starship Krupa? I'd be game to give it a second look if I hear good things about it. I like the dev (AudioThing).
