Fleer Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Though it seems VSL is not M1 native yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGBradford Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 They're certainly on a roll and I like the fact that you can now authorise to a PC iLok rather than a dongle as that had put me off until now. Only free one I haven't downloaded yet is the piano as I don't know if it will be worth taking up disc space when I have several pianos in IK Total Max 2 and also the Freddy Mercury piano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work, Apple! M1 is an amazing piece of technology. I think it's worth the effort and moves the world of hardware forward. I'm a PC guy but bought a new M1 laptop - the performance is stunning.

I strongly disagree on your approach (but not pov). You're right about work wasted, although if we wanted better performance and battery life and what not, the silicon chip is a great answer to this. Sacrifices had to be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Craig - I doubt if I'd ever be able to justify buying any of their libraries but forewarned is forearmed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban Villanova Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Sorry for OT. Is the M1 chip going to be available for Windows? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) Sounds nice! I love the competition between orchestral library developers (Spitfire, Project Sam, Orchestral Tools, VSL -- while the dev isn't an orchestral library developer, the Heaviocity free libraries are really nice too) to create good libraries for free as a way of exposing their brands to new customers. It's the kind of marketing (technically promotional) strategy I really love. It's ethical, it benefits people of all income brackets (I especially love how it enables those who are financially strapped to enjoy music) and it's a lot of fun to enjoy these freebies.
