 Isn't this the former Looploft guy who sold it to NI?

I've bought the battery kits.

He's not afraid to have a negative review of his products. 

We seem to have ignored the pianobook advent calendar.  Hopefully someone will remember to post this daily.

If I wasn't stupid about guitar tone without presets and everything IK how is this product?

Once again. Highly dependent on personal music taste. I have used the brush kits stuff a lot as I don't have many good brush kits. There was also on some other thread forum a  guy who mentioned a particular nylon guitar sample who "claimed" ST was the only library on the market  that had a good sample of that sound. But I have no idea. I don't use those sounds. My take on this stuff is,  if you have the tool at your disposal, try to use it and see what it does for you.

It would take me a week to audition factory stuff.

I was never a fan of Mellotron stuff but IKs is very good.

I can't stand the ST browser and often have to use the GUI that comes with their product addons.

This developer gets ridiculed for sales but trusts the end user with no gimmicky license schemes, affordable updates, more video presentations, frequent updates, and additional discounts on sales.  

 My email folder has the same amount of sales from Waves.

EQ31 and Total EQ gets some attention.  

He's not lazy in updating plugins.

Well. everyone is different.  The ones I use a lot are:

- Hugh Padgham

- SampleTron 2

- L.A. Confidential

- Terry Bozzio Drums

- Fractured Piano

- Malletopia

- Art Deco Piano

The thing about ST is it has that sample editor that gives you a single consistent interface from which to quickly tweak and edit the sounds to what you want them to sound like. I think it's easier to use than Kontakt and Halion. But I wish IKM made a lighter interface for it. Its hard to read sometimes.

 

I was referring to the factory library of ST.

Motley Crew 3 was a great album.

I got to see them live in Pheonix.  The sound was way too loud. 

Great soundtrack using one instrument.   One of my favorite budget movies and in public domain.

 I find MS and Apple borrow each other's ideas and often it's the bad ideas. 

Look at W11 with the TPM requirement.

My iPad is over 10 years old.  I never really use it.  It makes for a good portable media player on the patio.

 My fascination with portable DAW,  having an iRig, IK keyboard, and all of the cutesy stuff was short lived because you realize it nowhere dents the use of a desktop DAW.    Oh sure it may have some uses to make people believe you are cool in a Starbucks doing DAW stuff.

I keep all ST stuff on a separate SSD drive. It works fine. I am quite a big ST user and will do an entire demo with just one instance on ST and multiple midi tracks.

I've posted on forums asking for favorite ST sounds and the answer is always crickets.

50% off if you own the 8Dio version.

The first orchestral SoundPaint library. Their orchestral and choir libraries will definitely be interesting.

How does that happen. Still shows the original price for me.  I have the bundle.

Anyone know if this works on upgrade prices in your Izotope account?

It does not.  Izotope sales belong on the MEH list just above PA.

 Sampletank stuff loads fine on a spinning drive.  I rarely ever use any of it anyway.

I'm trying to figure out the relation to the thread title and those forum posts. 

I'm not a major Cakewalk user but it's the first one I suggest to someone who doesn't have a DAW.   There is no click and buy gimmicks.  That's like my biggest rant about software these days is every developer has their own version of "iTunes" built in their product.

I don't gamble...but still good advice!

I'd say we do a great deal of it and this forum is proof.

The one constant issue I find in flstudio is location of VST3 plugins CANNOT be anywhere else other than the default folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3

If you have your VST3s anywhere else .. even if you add the alt folder to the plugin manager paths .. it wont find your VST3s 

Anyone find a solution to this? 

Install VST3 to the default folder.   Plus you can get help on their forum.

Need the $200 savings for a SSD.

True. I'm as surprised as you

Not me. It has a lot of competition.  I can't really see this even at the discount price when there are so many options out there. 

I would think Solid State Symphony is enough. 

 The other side of Groove 3 that is often ignored is they have a lot of Hal Leonard stuff. 

They also give you the new stuff for free if you have the elite packages.

I'm finding some DAW developers are making quality proprietary plugins that equal many 3rd party plugins.

I also like to look at their demo song in a new release to see what is used.

Every time they do a new release I install and look it over again (gotta love the free update policy).  There are a ton of great features, but am I the only person that is completely put-off by the MIDI routing?  Assigning & tracking MIDI device numbers instead of using alpha tags? In version 21? MIDI hardware won't pass cc until you customize the settings.  Harrumph.  Or, in keeping with the season, Bah Humbug.

I can't stand it.  Patcher is another way of doing it. I remember how difficult it was in Reaper at one time.

 I never felt the need for these apps.  I've had over 800gb of loops at one time.  I just organize them.

I suspect development resources are devoted to Cherry Audio synths at the expense of Mixcraft.

Like Reason Studios and Tracktion. 

This seems similar to PrjoectSAM free orchestra, VSL free stuff and that BBC free version.  There is really no versatility outside the library.
