Just been recommended this choir for Decent Sampler & Kontakt - very nice range of sounds especially for free!

I've been using Decent Sampler without any problems for a while but today CbB crashes when I try to load a project with a single instance of DS on a track. Other projects seem ok (though projects with ST4 and Syntronik have also been temperamental) . Anyone had similar problems? I've tried restarting the PC but doesn't help

I have the latest version of CbB running under Windows 10. I've just added a couple of instruments to my DS library so may be something to do with those?

Update - I can add DS to a new project so I'll create a new DS template and delete the one that won't open

Yep just checked  it's not them

Not sure if this is genuinely them judging by some comments on FB. It is very nice though and I would be very happy if it was them

Thanks - I've got one of those!

I got the email too - sounds worth a watch - thanks

No issues here. Looked at my NI account and there doesn't seem to be an option to set up 2 factor authorisation

This is only true of Bandcamp.

Artist don't see 90% of sales on other platforms such as iTunes (Apple music).

I think that was the point SK was making

Full Kontakt only

Still nothing happening!

The great majority of musicians I listen to (mostly folk and roots music) either sell their music direct through their own website or use Bandcamp. Those that use Bandcamp generally seem happy with it and many recommend it as the place they'd prefer people to buy their music from. 

I'm happy as a punter knowing that all my money goes to the artists as I buy on Bandcamp Fridays.  I hope Epic Games don't ruin the current model. 

I buy most of my music from Bandcamp - usually on Bandcamp Fridays. They seem to have fairly ethical practices compared to the rest of the business. I know many musicians  who sell their music and merch on there and seem very happy. I hope this continues

Download Native version.

Thanks. That's what I downloaded but then thought HD might mean Hard Drive!

To install on my SSD do I need the HD or Native version?

I think I'll give that one a miss!

Can we draw a line under this one now please? I'm sure we all feel, like me, desperately sorry for the victims of war across the world. Arguing on here won't help them.

Baltic Shimmers is great for ambient and dramatic sounds

That you for this.  Ever since Steven posted this thread, I was trying to remember why I didn't get along with ADSR.  When I ditched Loopcloud after they crippled the program, I went on a "sample manager hunt."  I tried most of them, and liked ADSR the best of the freebies, but it would ALWAYS gray out folders after they were updated.  I just couldn't remember this.

I ended up with Sononym which is OK, but is awfully slow with large sets of samples.

So if if I added a new folder of samples to my master sample folder it would not be accessible? Sounds like a major flaw if so!

Mike's videos, especially the tutorials are excellent. I even watch the ones that are irrelevant to me as he has such an engaging manner. A really nice, thoughtful guy too and very supportive of other musicians. His Facebook Cakewalk group is popular as well ( declaration of interest - I'm a moderator of that group) 

Now that the free version of Loopcloud doesn't allow you to update your own sample library is this a better option for sample audition and management? I've stayed on an old version of Loopcloud but it no longer integrates with the DAW. A shame as I have 'favourited' hundreds of sample in Loopcloud 

I had issues when I tried to install it to my data disc with my other VSTs and was advised to install on system disc and it has been fine since then

Very generous Jason - thanks! Keeping my fingers crossed! 

I'd noticed that. Other genres are available 😉

It's been done in the Facebook group but I can't find it 😉
