Can confirm Truck Drums is awesome.

He just did. Good to go until summer.

Yeah they didn’t have that kind of deal forthe piano when it launched, did they? Which is why I forgot it existed until this came around…

NVM, last payment of V9 was still pending. Done and purchased some AugBrass.

...how? I own literally every single one of their products and it shows 49.

It's written in Java??? Holy moly. It must be the only well-running Java software in existence.

Never found a use for this and sold it but might pokemon it at this price.

Probably, but maybe they don’t want the freebie people to get it cheaper? Can't speak for others, but in my case that just means I will absolutely never ever get this.

Also, there's two sales worth mentioning over at Loot Audio: Audio Reward (made by Channel Robot and Divergent): highly recommended for sound design or if you need atmospheric background stuff. Marcos Ciscar: a couple ethnic libraries that might be worth getting.

I'll have some fun rating and very briefly commenting them: Ancient Greek Compendium - 6/10: the plucked instruments are OK but nothing special (I imagine they all sound almost the same in a mix, so maybe it should have been fewer of them more deeply sampled), the percussion is "meh" at best (a dull sounding frame drum with no ringing... really?) and the wind instruments are borderline unusable. Antidrum Machine - 9/10: no wonder this is a Player library, as I feel like it's curated with a little more effort than a lot of their other stuff. There's barely any fluff in here, everything sounds great and is usable in many ways. I do feel like this library makes a bunch of their others redundant and it sounds like it maybe even includes some sounds of their other libraries...? Bizarre Sitar - 3/10: maybe the worst non-bargain-bin-prices library I've ever purchased? I know the name says bizarre, but it sounds wonky AF and nothing like a sitar. Deleted it from my SSD because it's a waste of disk space. Metal Bundle - 7/10: well sampled and versatile. The Rust libraries are especially great, while the Tuned Artillery and Bronze Bin ones made their way off my SSD already. Little Epic Percussion - 6/10: nice for a little sparkle, but it includes so little content that it should probably be a free "get a taste of..." library. Also, I'm not sure why so few sounds need almost 2 GB. I have deep sampled string instruments needing less space. Little Pump Reeds - 9/10: a fun little thing. Way more than a toy and incredible value for the money. Luftballon & Phonautograms - 5/10: meh, but what did I expect at 5 EUR. The walkthrough videos showed some promising atmospheric patches, but for a handful of those it's just not worth the disk space. Overall, I feel like most things they do are extremely well recorded and sampled from a purely technical standpoint, but the usability is lacking for a lot of these. My theory is they're not using musicians fully acquainted with the respective instrument all of the time. It really does make a difference.

The third demo got me. Sounds literally like a real piano being played live.

My upgrade was free for some reason? No code needed. I'm confused. I own Big+Little 1 and got them years ago. Oh well, not complaining.

I see your offer and raise you https://soniczest.com/quantum-pans/

Hard pass for that bundle upgrade price. At least make it a LITTLE cheaper than owning a single product.

Would you look at that. More updates between beta 2 and 3 than a new Waves major version.

Thanks. Seems like there's no clear winner and WS2 as well as EW6 have some well sampled and some badly sampled instruments. Consensus on EastWest stuff seems to be it's dated and there's better stuff out there. Silk is less dated than RA, but doesn't contain any of the stuff I am mostly looking for (sitar, oud, frame drum/daf). If I'm being honest, I will probably pick up EW6, be mostly unhappy with it, and proceed to buy a million other specialised libraries like the addict I am. Although there doesn't seem to be a single well respected sitar library out there.

No it doesn’t. The site is broken. It's $19 vs $39. Try removing the everything bundle and re-adding it.

I also have Mini and Rumble. Some guy on KVR even said it was $80 and he used "newsletter10" to get it to $60. Maybe it varies by region and I'm being punished for where I'm from because we started a few world wars.

That seems like a lot, A LOT of instruments for 15 GB. Are you sure the same criticism I had about World Suite won't apply to Ethno World as well? Being more of a "background sounds" kind of library?

How? It's $130 for me and $154 with VAT. Using code newsletter10 knocks it to $130 with taxes, but still. edit: it worked now. For some reason. This site is buggy af.

Yes. The value of Cube Mini ($39) gets substracted from the cart automatically.

I bought this during BF sales and am fairly disappointed in the quality of most samples. This is really more of a "background support" library than anything you would put front and center. Then again, what did I expect of a 40 GB library with 12 billion instruments. Anyway, has anyone compared this to EastWest Ra? Judging from the YouTube walkthrough, it sounds a whole lot better than World Suite. edit: I should mention I have zero interest in loops and phrases and consider them to be a waste of disk space.

Any upgrade path from mini to full?

Sounds dawesome.
