If anyone has and uses 8 bit kit, I'd love it if you could explain how to get it not to sound like hot garbage. I bought it during the last sale, along with Dark Farm, and its just... wrong. Only 3 presets, and they didn't even show up until I messed around with the location of files. And when I load any of the kits its just set up so poorly, with levels flat across the board, distorted as all hell, just sounds bizarre. There's no info online about how it should sound, so I have no idea if it's meant to sound like someone with a microphone who went insane made a bunch of weird sounding drum sounds and only half got them to work in BFD before deciding screw it, I'm done, let's put this up for sale. 

The video below shows them sounding bad. 

However, in the comments below the video, someone says that the default sounds on another product sounded bad and it was because so much mix was going through the room, overhead, and ambient mics. Maybe try some changes there?

How can Native Instruments be so bad these days?  They have fallen so far. 

Perfect for playing your favorite harpejjios

I feel that way with Oblivion Sound Labs. In fact, it's more like close to 100%.
Even their free soundbanks are amazing. They really shouldn't be free.
Diva owners have to checked out their free soundbanks:

https://oblivionsoundlab.com/product/diva-oblivion/

 

100% agree.  Oblivion Sounds has my favorite packs period.

The Unifnished is really good too. 

Does the coupon code really have the product name misspelled or is that a typo?

I gave Sublab XL a try a few weeks ago, and I was pretty impressed.  It definitely goes beyond just pitched 808s.

Did anyone have trouble getting this newest bank?  I click to "get" it in the Analog Lab browser, but nothing happens.  

I was able to download other banks, so it's really just the Vintage bank.

What happened to number 7?

This recent Black Friday 2023?

I've bought mine from JRRShop in April 2023.. And I've also bought 3 other plugins of Sonible.  You'd think the upgrade would be free for any owner before Black Friday 🧐

Maybe I'll just stop buying from Sonible.  Speak with my money.  There's thousands of other plugins developers.  Plus, I already own plugins that practically do the same thing.

Yes, this Black Friday.  I'd say it's pretty standard for a grace period just before a new release.  Otherwise, you have someone who buys a version that is immediately out of date a couple of weeks later.  That's typically how these things work.

You had 8 months to use it that I didn't have.

Did you buy straight from Sonible? Wondering if buying smart:eq3 now from 3rd party vendor upgrades it to 4 when registered at Sonible...

I purchased from JRR Shop.

I bought v. 3 for Black Friday and it qualified me for a free upgrade. That's a nice surprise.

minimum spend £50.  No problem as the prices are back to original level.

As Larry's topic says, there's a sale starting tomorrow.

The email also says that starting tomorrow: "You'll also be able to axxess something new!"

EDIT:  Maybe an Arp Axxe?

This is a good collection particularly at that price. The webpage doesn't list all the effects for some reason but there are 16 of them.

Looks like the price has gone up now.

He replied to a thread on KVR saying he does not do sales. The only thing I can remember are introductory prices.

It looks like Toontrack have made new bundles that allow you to mix and match your MIDI packs from different lines  or to choose instruments (bass, drums, keys) from different product lines.

MIDI bundle:  https://www.toontrack.com/product/mixed-midi-6-pack/

Instrument bundle:  https://www.toontrack.com/product/ez-expansion-value-pack/

Does anyone have that issue for sale yet?  

The $136 price at Thomann along with videos showing what Avenger can do with samples hooked me.  I'm now a proud owner.

To me, the spectral, resampling, looping, etc modes where you work with samples is where it's at for me so far with Avenger.   Having fun!

Purchased something from them a few weeks ago in a 1/2 off sale.  Kinda bummed about the ability to have saved $30 more dollars.

Best service gives a few more dollars off (at least in US currency).

I'll be honest.  I read the descriptions of the new filters and still have no idea what the do. 😄

The EzMix interface is tiny and desperately needs an update.

Recorders for $24 has me tempted.   

Their Mountain Dulcimer is one of my all-time favorite sample libraries.    Check it out if you like that sound.
