Magic Russ Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 There are a lot of holiday gifts available right now. However, I have spent a lot of time downloading things I'll never use. So which products should I download and which aren't worth the time? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Russ Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) That's fair. There are some well done libraries I may or may not use, like Embertone's recorder or NI's Yangqin. Also, after I posted this, I saw the Nova Keys freebie. 9 short samples of someone playing random notes on a piano. Definitely a good example of one to avoid.

Kurre Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 As it happen i just tested 2 new free synths. Solcito Musica Arido 3.33 Full Free VSTi Solcito Musica SuperSonico 7.45Full Free VSTi They are free. A donation is welcome but not a must. The sounds is common for a lot of synths and nothing special. They work perfectly ok but don't come close to such free synths like Surge, Odin2 and Vital. You're not going to miss these if you skip them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yangqin is indeed very nice quality for a freebie, but I'm struggling to see where I'm ever going to actually use it. Still, it pads out the NI browser and makes it look a little more impressive I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starship Krupa Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 My favorite right now is: "Register at https://soundbetter.com and get Arturia's Analog Lab Lite and Izotope Ozone Elements 9 for free as member benefits." If you don't have Ozone Elements 9, well, duh, get this. I was kinda blown away by the great sounds come with Analog Lab Lite. They are many, and sound really good. An incredible selection of Vox Connie and other combo organs. SoundSpot Propane? Maybe if you only need it to fill up your SoundSpot bingo card. It's a mid-side panner like Voxengo's free MSED except it doesn't allow you to individually adjust the levels of mid and side. A mid-side panner is a good tool to have. One that allows you to individually adjust the levels of the mid and side is even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Hintze Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 is there a complete list of the available freebies 2020 somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I've got Ozone Elements 8. Is it worth upgrading to 9? I know it's free but just wondering if there are any significant improvements / extra features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a comprehensive list for entire 2020 but this one on VI-Control lists freebies in the BF / Holiday / NY season. It keeps getting updated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's free but just wondering if there are any significant improvements / extra features There are some UI changes (especially on the EQ section) from what I recall. I switched to 9 a while ago and haven't looked back, but it isn't an "upgrade" I would have paid for personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Russ Posted December 25, 2020 Author Share Posted December 25, 2020 The Karanyi Vapor Keys turned out to be pretty nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Jones Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Yeah go here and get whatever free stuff he's made available if you haven't already as his free stuff is better than a lot of paid stuff https://www.synthmagic.co.uk/free.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Jones Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 And that dev (Steve @ synth magic) is one of the best preset creators I've come across - so if you're like me and you prefer to tweak existing presets that already sound great and inspirational rather than program your own sounds from the ground up then the Synth Magic stuff is some of the best there is and that includes his free stuff.
