But you can turn the reverb effect down all the way, and get them as dry as was recorded. They probably ran some through a basic amp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asprog Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 First time I can't download a LABS library... I have the message "Preparing product download" but nothing happens, even after hours! Tried many times, relaunched SAA many times, restarted my PC (Windows 10) many times, nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulo Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I've never bothered downloading any of the Labs stuff - am I really missing anything? I mean really, not just because it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Go to your download directory...you'll find that under "Settings" and then "Default Content Path", and see if there is a partial download there that might be clogging the lane...

I rarely use samples (other than drums) and had ignored Spitfire Audio as yet another high end strings for film but find the LABS to be an interesting collection of somewhat unique samples suitable for ear candy in arrangements. Arguably more useful than yet another amp sim or compressor clone. But beware, they are high quality marketing hooks which could contribute to you missing something from your wallet... I've bought a couple products since. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are currently 43 free libraries in the LABS collection. It is a collection of unique samples that you may find useful if you are into sound design. I have about 19GB installed in my LABS sample folder. https://www.spitfireaudio.com/labs/getting-started/ It uses its own player, that opens as a plugin, which is very minimalist. You have control over expression (volume), modulation, and reverb. Everything else is baked into the preset. But there are some interesting and unique sounds in here! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Absolutely. One of the best freebie series around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well actually, LABS download is ala carte. The free LABS products are available as you are ready for them. No need to be added to a specific user account, as there is no account required, other than "installed" or"not downloaded" under the LABS tab in your Spitfire Audio app. Edited October 30, 2021 by abacab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 They’re all in my account, but the last ones required downloading to get them there. I’d like to add them without downloading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No partial download but thanks for directing me to the Settings. I finally toggled "Use Cloudfront CDN" (I don't know what it means...) and the download started! 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A website can host its downloadable content somewhere other than its own web host. Often much faster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
