    I have become a fan of the Spitfire Studio Brass (I use the core version): https://www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/instruments/brass/spitfire-studio-brass/ The sound is nice and there is a plethora of articulations there. One that I use a lot is Performance Samples' Caspian: https://performancesamples.com/caspian/ This is quite the opposite of a long list of articulations, but the are extremely playable and the sound is very cool. Don' have this, but their Trailer Brass is very very nice: https://www.musicalsampling.com/adventurebrass/ I've also heard a lot of raving about CSS: https://www.cinematicstudioseries.com/brass.html

    There is discussion about this company elsewhere: https://vi-control.net/community/threads/who-knows-this-company-sonex-strange-pricing.79952/ I find things about them slightly shady.

    Snagged it, love it. Does a few things other reverbs don't do.

    Have to say that I do not like the sound of these from the demos. I understand that it's a different kind of playing style and scales but the sound of the strings is off to me. Comparing the sound to that of Sonokinetic's Sultan Strings I feel that this is very synthi.... my two cents.

    You have some nice ideas here and the low brass sound you are using is very visceral. What troubles me is that the instruments do not mix coherently. I don't feel that they are in the same space. Maybe check the spatialization and levels of everything. And check your reverb, a good reverb is essential to a coherent orchestal mix. I would also add low end, now everything feels very thin, even the visceral low brass. I would also pay attention to the dynamics of the piece. When the harp comes it is clearly a place to have a somewhat mellower sounds, but the harp plucks at full tilt all the time. Dynamics is what makes the louder parts of the track stand out. As they are now only the final 15 seconds feel to be any other dynamic than full.

    I again bring nothing of real value to this conversation, but my flu ridden head read the title: "First Guitar I Heard In PRISON". So sorry.

    "The Lobby Piano" received Top Pick from Sample Library Review! https://www.samplelibraryreview.com/the-reviews/review-the-lobby-piano-by-man-makes-noise/ The library is still on intro sale for two days. Get it here: https://www.manmakesnoise.com/the-lobby-piano
  11. Tapsa Kuusniemi
    They should just go overboard with the reason and do sales for reasons like "we had damn good coffey today so 30% off!"
  12. Tapsa Kuusniemi
    Oh come on... Waves should just lower all their prices down permanently since that's what's happening right now.

    And yet another demo. This time something calm and beautiful by Henri Vartio: https://soundcloud.com/manmakesnoise/the-lobby-piano-lost-and-found-by-henri-vartio

    The final week of the introduction sale has started!
  15. Tapsa Kuusniemi
    This is the one I mostly use (I have RX, Acon Digital's Restoration Suite and Accusonus' ERA plugins, though not their full ERA-D). Still Brusfri gets most use. The result are always good and it's easy to use.

    I like this new approach by Sample Logic. No more 1000+ use-one-time-sounddesign-patches but a properly sampled percussion library. Picked it up and I do like the sound. It feels organic and is the same vain as SAGA from Red Room Audio. Will work perfectly with other libraries.

    Yet another demo, this time a simple piano by Brian Brylow: https://soundcloud.com/manmakesnoise/the-lobby-piano-the-old-88-in-the-corner-by-brian-brylow Only 10 day left to get The Lobby Piano for the intro price!
  18. Tapsa Kuusniemi
    I'm just wondering how does this differ from the ever ongoing sale boom of Waves' plugins... Has anyone bought anything from them at normal price since forever...?
  19. Tapsa Kuusniemi
    Another demo, this time some scifi cinematic scoring from Pauli Hausmann:

    Just got a new demo from Brian Brylow. This is some ambient / prog rock floating in the style of Eloy and Pink Floyd:

    Reaktor doesn't quite cut it. It's not really meant for this sort of thing, Reaktor isn't at it's best when dealing with samples. There's no real magic involved, everything I've done can be seen in the patches (well except the 5 synth patches). The biggest thing is what I've recorded and what I've chosen to use as soundsources.
  23. Tapsa Kuusniemi
    At currently no. I do not own Halion and quite a bit of the patches run heavily on the granular synthesis in Omnisphere so Kontakt is not a very good host for them. I did not want to hinder the usage of the sounds by making them into long WAVs that would be run inside a Kontakt interface. I wanted the patches to have a more room for change. But I have plans for other libraries that will utilize Kontakt. Actually my next one will be made for Kontakt and Battery (and it will have uncompressed WAVs as well). But that is another story...
  24. Tapsa Kuusniemi
