Bad Penguin Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Received e-mail from Spitfire Audio. Again, sorry if this has already been posted, took a quick look and I didn't see it. In which case, I guess this post is just a reminder. I don't have any of the $29 libraries. Suggestions/recommendations on which two to get (one for $29 + free $10 gift card; the second for $19 using the $10 giftcard)?

kevin H Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I have a few of the $29 libraries and still got this. They never discount them so seems like a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip G Hunt Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 My only advice to anyone thinking of picking these up is make sure you can run them on your DAW. Spitfire Original and SA libraries need a lot of RAM and decent CPU. I was running Spitfire libraries on an i5 with 8GB RAM until recently, and I vowed not to buy another until I updated my system to a bare minimum of i7 with 16GB. They would often have drop outs, notes not detected, or irregular detection. Now I'm on a more powerful system they work well. Also, read up carefully on the vst3 issue with CbB. These older libraries have a known issue with CbB not running the vst3. There is a work around suggested by Spitfire which involves deleting the vst3 versions and only running the vst2. Keep in mind that many of these libraries are older and not likely to be updated going forward, so be aware of this issue before buying if you are a CbB user (and if you're not, what the hell are you doing on this board? 😅).

TheSteven Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) @Bad Penguin thanks! I missed seeing the email yesterday. Edit: Ah... Fine print. You received gift card up on a purchase. Promotion ends midnight March 31, 2022. Gift cards are valid until midnight August 31, 2022. Look like it is being advertised on their website so presumably open to all. So maybe not as sexy as a $10 off upon a purchase, still nice. Edited March 20, 2022 by TheSteven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems vst3 for virtual instruments have issues. Sylenth will never be a vst3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit off topic but Lennar mentioned it is working on both VST3 version and M1 native versions of Sylenth. https://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=544127&sid=d7068b5a8825fc709130cfb1dcad2315&start=15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
