I generally don't either. Sometimes I might for a second opinion / check, but you don't need to use any of the smart features in Sonible's products. And even if you do for an initial starting point, you can tweak every single setting in a lot of detail in their smart series. And some of their smart series are actually just good products on their own merit with no use of AI anyway. I wouldn't write them off because they include it.

That's half the reason I love this deals forum. Heaps of it is about prices and deals of course, but you also learn a bunch from the discussions about everything on here. If you buy, (or get something free) and even if you decide not to, there's a lot of knowledgeable people with all different perspectives. I've learnt a LOT from people on here! And yes, most of us could spend more time with the tools we have, but time will pass anyway, so we're probably going to end up knowing all of the favorite ones very well anyway!

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I had thought it would've been considered as legacy by them. That's much better if that's the case. Until I had my larger SSD drives, I had to run some of my libraries on an external HDD and even that was fine for a lot of them. I prefer SSD and some libraries you really notice it, but for many others it's fine.

That's pretty strange. 0ms latency on Cubase Pro 14 for me and I opened up 16 instances of it on the stereo buss on a project and no noticeable impact to CPU. In saying that, I almost never have these types of plugins open during the production stage, apart from maybe a few spot checks during that stage. In mixing, or mastering latency is somewhat a moot point. I can't recall any of the other meters having an intelligibility meter for vocals and the relay function is a little more unique too. But I also love the convenience of clicking at the top and seeing all of the meters, or simply just having one visible at a time. FYI tested 16 instances with zero latency at 64 sample buffer at 48KHz. I'm sure I could've added a bunch more, but I only had 16 slots on that buss and I couldn't be bothered changing the routing and adding another 16 in series! Haha..

A long time in the making! Glad to see it finally reach this milestone 🙂

Completely agreed on age. My only concern with older stuff like that is support and ongoing compatibility. I still love some of my older plugins and instruments and will continue to use them for as long as I can. And yeah some of the space requirements for some of the orchestral libraries is pretty insane (BBC Pro, HOOPUS, etc). It would've been OK if SSD prices had kept going down and sizes going up, but that transition seems very slow more recently, so it is a very valid consideration.

I'm trying not to think about it... 🤣 Its older, but still seems like a great deal for a well regarded library.
