Recommended Posts

looks like its a free update from v1 too 

now if we could just combine Toontracks download manager with UVIs upgrade policy. NOT the other way round obviously :)

I've had this for a long time, but the update keeps giving me archive extraction errors.  And the change notes aren't really very detailed on what the new sounds and layout are.  Still for this price I'd say it's not a bad deal on a sound effects library.

I gave up on the UVI Portal upgrade and I'm just downloading it from the website directly.  Says it's 5.5GB and it's going to take 2-3 hours given how slow the direct download is running (on my crazy fast gigabit fiber).  Sigh.

Update: On the website there is a drop down for the download link, has a choice of Primary, US Standard Link, Asian Mirror and Torrent. Primary is crazy slow, but if I pick the US Standard Link it's much faster.  Says 14 mins remaining...

New version is almost twice as big as old one (8.62 GB vs 4.34 GB).  They both can co-exist (the new one has a new file name).  Might be why the "upgrade" didn't work.

They added a new Electronic and Synth FX catagory on the top level.  Many of the sections can now be dragged out as .wav files, which you couldn't do before.  But not everything (the Atmospheres and Scenes are still only UVI patches, which is sad because those are the best stuff--though at least Scenes may just be collections of sounds from the rest of the library, not sure.  Most of the musical patches aren't drag-gable either).  This was one of my biggest complaints about it, I couldn't include it with my normal .wav sound effects library (and search tools).  Though single dragging out all those .wav files might take a lifetime.
