PavlovsCat Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 That's basically impossible for me to pass up. Ben is very talented and always produces interesting, high quality libraries. Under $20 USD. Yeah, I'll be buying this one later tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid Rosefelt Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Ben is a one-man band. He comes up with the ideas for his libraries, plays and records the instruments, and codes it all. I imagine he does the graphic design too. Super nice guy too. Simeon and I got to talk with him when we did that podcast with him. If you like Ben's stuff this is a no-brainer. And he is one of the very best people making libraries these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it's a no-brainer. It's under priced, IMO. I mean, less than 20 bucks for what this delivers? Please if anyone knows more deals like this, point me to it. Still, I feel like if Larry was posting there'd be an extra discount code. (Yes, I still am struggling with missing our old friend.)

If you can wait for a sale, you can save at least 30%. But even at its regular price, it's a bargain. I'm watching for his cello library to go on sale next. I'd suggest watching this YouTuber's video below to learn more about two of Ben's libraries to figure out if they're a fit for you. The YouTuber, Corey, does the most honest and non-shilling review videos you'll find in this space. He got my attention when he called out a developer's drum library as fatally flawed and said he told the developer about the problems with the library, but the dev refused to fix it. I know of no other YouTuber in this space that has that kind of integrity. I have nothing but respect for the guy -- this from someone who's led affiliate marketing at a major brand, wrote about, had a major book deal that encompassed that area and has a very good handle on the mentality of YouTube reviewers (most are just shilling for free products and affiliate sales dollars, whereas the most popular ones get $$$$ up front). Corey is the antithesis of the shills. If you're a dev with a problematic or subpar library or plugin, this is the last guy you want reviewing your product. That's exactly why I'm a fan. The only criticism I have of Ben's libraries is that they can be heavy on your machine, so I suspect they could be better optimized. Hopefully, at some point, that will be addressed.

Without a doubt Sospiro Strings (you get seperate instruments bass,cello, viola, violin plus an ens). And I really like his early cello textures which you can pick up cheap sometimes at PB and Loot.

PavlovsCat Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Just an update. I bought the library and played it and it is indeed a beautiful library that is, IMO, easily worth the full price (more than twice the current sale price). For less than $20 USD, it is the best bargain I've found all year. I will definitely be watching for Ben's upcoming sales.

Christian Jones Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Dang, I'm watching that Corey video for Sospiro Strings and that library sounds great plus Corey likes it and yeah I've come to trust that guy too as far as YouTube goes. I'll wait for a sale from that link above 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The price is nice. Would I use it or remember that I have it? (maybe I have it) The answer is no. If it comes around again I may grab it, play around with it and not even create a project with it. It's not the quality of the product but it's the quantity of stuff I have.

Christian Jones Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 (edited) For me I'll skip this one I think and get his other string library later. Edited September 1, 2022 by Christian Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
