Thanks Antler. Yes there are one shot vocal freebies from Ghosthack (never enough to do a full song!)

Thanks Bjorn. Kind words

Always pleased to have your responses Tom ?

Thanks Nigel, appreciated

Here's a simple little thing to illustrate a free sample pack on Pianobook https://www.pianobook.co.uk/ . RJS Classic Electric by Risto Sipola. Available on Kontakt 6 (full) includes legato and chords. Amazing what you can get for free !

Hi Keith. I upgraded my interface last year from an old M Audio Fast track pro (W10 borked it) and ater much reserach bought the Presonus Studio 26c USB interface. Advantages to me were it has midi ports, metering on the front, higher specs than the old one. And included Studio One Artist. Plus a host of other freebies such as Arturia Analog Lab, Output Movement, Ujam, And many others. Plus like you I use a seperate voice channel (Joe Meek) to put vocals in. It is easy just to set the mic in to the Joe Meek (phantom powered) and run a line out into the Presonus (I bypass the Presonus phanton power as prefer the sound and compression of the Joe meek). It cost me £160 in the UK. And has been solid so far. And works well with CWB and clean outs to my powered monitors.

Without a doubt Sospiro Strings (you get seperate instruments bass,cello, viola, violin plus an ens). And I really like his early cello textures which you can pick up cheap sometimes at PB and Loot.

For sure! Thanks Bjornpdx

Thanks V Much DAS

Thanks antler & Old Joad. Appreciated

Not for Muze libraries it isn't ? (see many previous discussion here and elsewhere ad nausem regarding Muze)

I'm using nothing but Foghorn in my submission to the Spitfire Bridgerton competition. I can feel that "everything Spitfire" bundle winging its way to me already.......Brrraaammmm

Indeed !!!

Thanks Larry. Yes it was feedback with a ton of compression/limiters ?

Thanks very much Wookie !

Thanks as always Tom. Always appreciated ?

Thanks V much MarkusClinus

I'm going to get banned from Piano book https://www.pianobook.co.uk/ for this one.? Using 3 new Decent Sampler instruments - Deimos Strings / Fairy Piano Extras / DanTime 2. Soundscape-y stuff. (DK - Dan Keen is a regular contributor to Pianobook, and works for Spitfire Audio). https://soundcloud.com/bemused-2/inside-the-mind-of-dk?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Yeah ! Got it. (runs in Suite). Many thanks

Upgraded about 18 months ago to a 860EVO 500gb system drive. And 2 x 1TB Crucial MX500 for storage/samples. Superb performance from all with no hiccups. Could never go back to HDD now (though used an external 2TB WD spinner for archiving).

Got this at Loot about 3 weeks ago (even bigger discount!) If you like BOC this is ideal.

I only have the Augmented Strings Intro and Analog Lab Intro. So out of curiosity I logged into my account and both are available to me for upgrade. Aug Strings for 29.00 and Analog Lab for 69.00. I don't use Ana Lab enough to justify but the Aug Strings seems tempting (comes out at £25 for me in the UK).
