Me neither! But it's a topic that seems to have a lot of believers and advocates (as well as plenty of critics!) but I have read interviews about engineers being asked to perform the function for customers at times.

To be fair.. I have mentally rationalized it that way partially already 😂

Little Radiator now available 🙂

Nice to see you back on here Satya! 🙂

It gets almost no attention and everyone raves about alternatives like Tonex (which I do also like), but I was really quite impressed with this too.

I've always been a little mixed on this one... Its not bad and pretty well regarded, I'm just not sure I actually need it and yes, the space consideration with all these EastWest libraries does play at least some part in that.

Same. It was originally a freebie for me with an Audient interface and then that package morphed into GENOME and they just keep expanding it!

I still need to install the update for Spark. I generally wait a week then install updates, just in case there are any bugs in the new release. Thanks for the reminder.. Looking forward to that now 🙂

Some of their Bestmakers are OK just as drums. I never use their patterns and phrases though. Also part of the reason I don't really like a lot of Native Instruments newer stuff. Its more phrases and press button to play patterns. They seem popular though, so just personal preference for me.

Same Fleer. It's easy to overlook them as they mainly do Falcon and sound libraries etc. but they do make pretty great effects too.

Same! I was pleasantly surprised by both MODO Drum and MODO Bass. I hadn't expected them to sound as good as they do.

That was a REALLY disappointing decision by IK. They've done that with a few products lately that make me question buying more stuff from them. Not that there's a lot to buy.. I have almost all of it 😂

Gotta love that the full version of Horns Pro is €149 and the upgrade is €199 😂

The gift that keeps on giving! 🙂

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.
