Dropping a fiver or finding a way to read the issue via a library membership is a small enough consideration to give Beat and A|A|S. And for those who think they have everything A|A|S, they usually come out with multiple new soundpacks in between these freebie deals, so at least check and make sure. Their stuff is so great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another way to get Beat is to pick up Readly for a month. Just saying. Endless possibilities. Does beat have any options for being read as resizable/fluid text? I really hate that most digital mags I have come across are just big scans of the pages. On the other hand, I guess it makes it hard to say "the second word in the paragraph header at the bottom of page 88" when pages are fluid.

Fleer Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 If you’ve got everything from AAS then those freebie codes won’t be of any use as they don’t work on future packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 That's great! Not always, but I often give away things for free as well I only suggested knobcloud because I didn't want to "be generous with things that aren't mine" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you mean by that, but I finally did find Beat via Libby newsstand and snagged another pair of soundpacks to add to the bestiary. If you're referring to data collection, well, no, I'm not going to search Libby for anything that would flag me with the NSA. 🙄 I also noticed that Beat has freebie lite versions of Chordjam and Speedrum that are worth picking up. It seems to be exactly similar to Speedrum Lite but comes with a useful bunch of samples and pre-rolled kits. Chordjam is a good thing for fans of MIDI generator-ish plug-ins. Those seem to be dropping left and right these days, I have Loop Engine and now Chordjam Beat but will be letting the smoke settle before looking into any more.

The Dispossessed Orangutan Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) I was searching through the AAS sound packs to select two freebies, and I was reminded how exhausting it is to contemplate the choices they present. The titles of the libraries are essentially meaningless. Almost all of the libraries are presented as a grab bag of mystery meat sound design. The patch list for each library is comprised of names harvested from a psychedelic mad lib game. I would prefer it if the libraries were closely related to specific themes. For example, I eagerly purchased and greatly enjoyed the Analog Orchestra sound pack. For example, I considered the sound pack "Caffeine," which purports to be for Lounge Lizard users but seems intent on turning the Electric Keyboard-themed application into a generic do-it-all synth. No thanks. I wish they had choices like "Bass," which focuses exclusively on bass, or "Arpeggios," which focuses exclusively on Arpeggios, or something like that. I know that they have packages named like this, but the contents to frequently diverge from the stated theme. I ended up choosing Plastic Pop because it seems to be dedicated to vintage synth sounds, and Kicks and Snare because it has a "shaker" that I thought I might be interested in. With the current method of making everything seem like everything, it exhausts me to find anything useful enough to bother installing, even when they are giving the libraries away for free. I still have not installed my 2023 Christmas present, and I don't think I have used my 2022 Christmas present, which I installed last summer. The presentation of the product diminishes the likelihood that I will buy anything. I really like the AAS instruments, so I wish they would do a more effective job of highlighting what each instrument excels at rather than catering to the collect-them-all hoarder mentality.
