Larry Shelby Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 My upgrade to 8W Black Orchestra is $100. That's a great deal. It's normally $249 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Shelby Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 Just now, Paul Young said: How did you get that? If you already own Majestica then you can request an 8W Black Upgrade code, from 8 Dio Support, which normally lowers the price to $249, but during this sale it's now down to $100. That will be hard not to buy... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy1 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I got suckered into this one. The question is to delete the Majestica library. Noth take up over 80gb of space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antler Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 It's unlikely to go cheaper any time soon. As I understand, 8Dio are going to make the V8P products public over the course of a year or so while also moving to a new website platform. A 75% discount on base prices is pretty generous; a discount on upgrade prices that knocks 8W and the Emperium bundle to $100 each is even more so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy1 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 What is really odd about 8W Black is that it loads pretty decent on a HDD. Usually 8Dio libraries choke on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Shelby Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 I'm in....I had been waiting for this sale since last year, so held off until the Easter Sales were over, in case something else popped up. This is the cheapest 8W has been in the past 5 years at $249, so $100 with my upgrade code it is 90% off...that works for me...but, rest assured, when it becomes a freebie next week I will piss and moan about it!

Larry Shelby Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 You would think that they would make something that is normally this expensive ($1,000 list) to be "player" compatible so that it shows on the "Library" tab in Kontakt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 I chatted on their site and they stated that will not be making their products Player compatible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 So I told him it was a mistake not to...and he said that that was why they were doing Soundpaint. I told him yes, that doesn't use the NCW Lossless compression, and that VASTLY increases storage needs for their Libraries. I told him I think that they are making a big mistake by not making their existing libraries Kontakt Player compatible, especially the V8P ones. Most of their heavily invested customers are already familiar with Kontakt. He didn't seem to care much.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Larry - just out of curiosity, what are the reasons you prefer libraries to be Kontakt Player enabled? Is it the relative ease of browsing libraries in the left panel? That's probably the main reason for me - that and that I sometimes forget about the non-Player libraries that I have because they're not listed.

I want to be able to look over, and scroll down if necessary, to get to my libraries. I'm not fond of having to open file manager, navigate to the library directory, open that, then open the instruments, folder, and find what I'm looking for...so that's exactly the reason!

That doesn't bother me. With all of the player libraries in Kontakt it's annoying to find anything. I often drag a patch from the system folder most of the time.

Have you looked into using the QuickLoad feature in Kontakt? It is designed just for this. It only takes a few minutes to build out, and it is a lifesaver. I have everything in there now - I actually never look at the Library tab anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
