Simeon Amburgey

I enjoyed my short time away and am back, ready to go on more adventures with all of you.
Join me at 3:30 PM EST as I feature a few titles from Spitfire Audio  (@Spitfire Team) during the last moments of this year's Spring Sale.
I was very interested to experience Albion V Tundra as well as featuring Olafur Arnalds Composer Toolkit. Of course, there might be a few surprises along the way and I look forward to answering your questions during the live chat.
I look forward to seeing you there.

It is here and it does sound very nice, rich low end and should  be here for some time as I enroll it into Celebrate Recovery.The funniest thing was as I walked away, I thought I heard Bob Dylan! 😎
I continue enjoy seeing the Soundiron engine and learning more with each release that utilizes it. I think my first library that used it was their Didgeridoo 

Stay tuned 📺

I think the samples belong to Impact Soundworks, but they may include it in Total Studio 4 Max.  I'm just speculating...so who knows...

The Resonator was developed by Tracy Collins over at Indiginus. There is also a Kontakt version available but SampleTank adds the built in strumming and pattern engine which is really nice for this title.

@cclarry, don’t forget the new FAME Studio reverb and Tascam emulations could also be included

It's been a long time since I  updated my Focusrite driver. Can someone remind me -- do you uninstall the old driver before running the new installer? I can't find where they answer this question on their support site.

I ran the installer and it removed the older drivers and updated.
You do need a full system shutdown and restart to refresh but everything is working as expected.

I cannot believe it has been two years since doing this video, just wow how fast time gets away from you, but I digress, enjoy. 🤓

I've never heard of this developer before,  but they sound insane! Sorry,  I couldn't resist.

I'll just leave this here ;^)
 

Thanks to everyone who joined the livestream (great to see you @Fleer).

I have briefly indexed the replay and will be publishing standalone segments soon.
Thanks for the support!

Off we go on another ambitious journey to explore the latest instruments.

Come along as I explore Spitfire's latest Originals, Intimate Grand Piano.
I will also be stopping by the Pianobook Nook and Soundpaint Corner ;^)

You can watch the full replay here:

Albion ONE was the first Spitfire Audio library that I ever purchased outside of the then KONTAKT version of LABS that were donations are at the time before they were discontinued.

This Albion has a lot of hidden gems, especially some of the legacy strings that some of the Orig!nals were derived from. Might be fun to journey through this on a livestream. 😎

Wait, you know I'm a fan of your videos too, @Simeon Amburgey. I love your videos. It's a blast to watch you enjoy a library and just fall in love with patches -- it reflects the joyful child in all of us when we fall in love with instruments /sounds. Your videos are really great at that -- you just have to be you to keep them enjoyable. I think that's real secret to your YouTube success, you're just being yourself and it works. 

Although, to be completely candid, when I buy the same library and it sounds greatly inferior,  although that can be completely due to quality of the guy playing it (me compared to you!), not the libraries themselves. 

Thank you so much, that really does mean a lot to me, you get it. 🤓

@Simeon Amburgey has done an excellent video with the MP2.

 

 

This brings back a lot of memories for sure as it was one of my first videos on the channel.
Philharmonik 2 will always be a classic. I remember when I first hear of the original Miroslav Vitous Akai Sample Library CDs.

I just saw a 2010 Sound On Sound article that wanted $999 for the strings library!!!!!

There is nothing like sharing these adventures with you, everyone is a new experience.  ABYSS from Tracktion Audio and  Dawsome  is such a deep virtual synth. Bunker Samples has such a unique personality infused into their instruments. VSL Celestial Strings is so lush and free, what a gift. I also took a quick look at Soundiron's Hyperion Solo Violin, which had some surprises of its own.

The music did indeed take us to some fun and unexpected places and I am always amazed when that happens.

Thanks to everyone for their confidence and support.

Since VSL's move to iLok there have been a lot of things to get used to.
This was a section from Monday's livestream where I went through the process live and it was indeed an experience.
Thankfully this feature has been edited some to help with time. I hope you find it helpful.

Be on the lookout for more Free Instruments from VSL.

Here is the standalone feature for Fink Signatures.

Also the Fink Signatures Unified library was updated to address a couple of issues. Links in the video description.

Join me as we go on another adventure, to explore some of the latest titles.
I also just finished Unifying Spitfire's Fink Signature Guitars (download link in video description).

I look forward to seeing you here:

We really need @Simeon Amburgey to do a comparison video with Soundiron's Flatulus.  That's my go-to.  It can  really cut through a mix. 

 

 

I wonder if I would need to ask them for an NFaRt 😂😂😂😂😂

One of my all time favorites!

I had a quick livestream this morning featuring a few new libraries.
All of the titles are still on their special intro pricing, so check them out.
Make sure you look in the video description to enter for a chance to win one of three copies of Orchestral Tool's OPALINE.

During John Lemkhul’s (Plugin Guru) livestream  Saturday he was looking at the new Tails reverb and a few in the chat mentioned this new sub model, well needless to say ai picked up TAILS 😎
Interesting move by PA for sure.

Join me as I take us on a journey to POLARIS.
I look forward to seeing you there.

I thought this would be a good time to catch up on a couple of titles I missed in some of my past livestreams.
I am looking forward to seeing you here:

YES!

I featured this on the livestream this morning.
What an amazing instrument. It is so full of power and life but can be very delicate as well.
Here is where the feature starts during today's livestream.

I just watched this last night, he is very inspiring and full of fun insights. The presentations are really engaging.

I loved his Sir Duke and Superstition analysis as well.

I am so happy to be back with you for another live stream. I will be taking a look at:
• BLOOM from @narothaudio
• Midnight Upright from @nami_audio
• Memories Piano from Musicalsampling
• A WORLD PREMIER release of a, let's just say ROYAL Kontakt instrument.

I will also be introducing a new segment I fondly call the Pianobook Nook where I will feature some of the latest additions and interesting titles I discover.
