simon Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 (edited) I bought a few 8dio things over the last few months, mainly the BF sales.....I'm feeling very 'meh' about all of them. Very variable in quality - some are massive CPU hogs or take aggggeeesss to looooaaaaddddd. A lot of them are not that inspiring or flexible and the documentation is very weak. If I had my time again I wouldn't have bothered. as always, just MO Gonna compare apples and oranges, but for those with SD3 - https://www.timespace.com/products/toontrack-sdx-orchestral-percussion absolutely first rate - and 120 instruments - up to 11-channel surround - midi files - great documentation. Makes that 8dio package look like a freebie - 100% worth the extra https://www.toontrack.com/product/orchestral-percussion-sdx/ watch/listen to the demos (I don't work for toontrack honestly !)

tom Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I'm looking for a comprehensive non-melodic percussion library e.g. shakers, tambourines, maracas, cowbell, etc. Thinking this 8DIO Studio Percussion Auxiliary might be a good one or can anyone recommend (hopefully cheaper) alternative that does loops/grooves too please?

cclarry Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 If you have EZ Drummer, then there is the Latin Percussion EZX... But not on sale at the moment... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of the way in which shakers are played, one-shots like in most other sample libraries don't sound quite right, but SSS does shakers quite well. If you want cymbals/drums though, you'll have to look elsewhere. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
