PavlovsCat Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) FLUTE WARS!!! Oh, this is awkward. And, Bapu, your thread title literally made make me crack up. I'm good friends with Greg (Orange Tree Samples) and I'm also friends with Tawnia (8Dio/SoundPaint). I didn't know that Greg had a flute coming out (OTS has another flute library that's superb, BTW, like all of their libraries). And no, these developers are all really nice people and it's not really flute wars, just me finding the idea funny. I'm definitely going to be using the phrase "flute wars" in texts to both of them because that's how I roll. It's clearly a great time to be in the market for a flute library. Orange Tree Samples doesn't put out any libraries that aren't superb. Their libraries are as good as it gets, IMO.

Fleer Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 A flute from OrangeTreeSamples ain’t just a flute. No, sir! 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) I'll wait for the group buy on this one. I constantly hover around 7% in orange slices so $92.07 is not very enticing for a flute I don't really need right now.

bjornpdx Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Judging by the quality of Passion Flute and Mesa Winds (outstanding!) I'll probably get this one too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still have to BUY one item (the flute) to get the rest free (which are useless if you already have everything else). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Tree Samples group buys offer percentage discounts proportional to how many people sign up for the group buy regardless of how many items each buyer intends to purchase. I think you're thinking of IKM group buys where you get a number of items free with a purchase. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jngnz Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I'm as much of a fan of OTS as anyone on here, but the demos for this sound really bad, IMO. Almost like synths imitating flutes. Lifeless and soulless. Just me? Carry on. Don’t let Mr. Grumpface ruin your blind praise thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Arwood Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I have a bunch of OTS. They are all REALLY GOOD. This new flute sample set is NOT up to their usual productions standards. I was so sad, because, I have been looking for one for a few years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I gladly offer my contrasting favorable opinion. And I’m a flute player. Love playing this one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play flute and many other instruments. Of my many life jobs, band director is one of them. What do you like so much about this one? edit- do you have this in a song we could hear?

Yep, I’m a classically trained flautist (since I was 7) and not very happy with most flute libraries sonically. The one I liked the most until now was 8Dio’s Claire. This new one from OrangeTreeSamples pleases me more. It’s the fullness and warmth. Check out the VI Control thread, they have some added examples that may show you what I mean.

And not even a good one at that. There’s probably a better flute in Equator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
