pseudopop Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I have these so they were probably a freebie last year. *checks notes* Yep. 13th of December 2021. But the full price was €74.90 back then. How come it's now €299? Are they going 8dio on us? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they going 8dio on us? yes, missed that one last year re: pricing.......odd - this page says $99 https://www.sonokinetic.net/sale/ I'd suggest an accidental typo rather than an 8dio (or waves !) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. It shows €99 when you put it in the cart. It's also possible that the €74.90 in my receipt was a discounted price, I can't remember. The €299 is still strange, though. I would expect their website to fetch the prices straight from the product database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I confirm you that the regular price was $99 and $75 with discount Anyway... any comment about Sordino Strings? Because I lost the opportunity to get it the last year but I wanted to get it... and I am thinking about it...

I see it for those who hoard strings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I lost the opportunity to get it the last year but I wanted to get it... and I am thinking about it... Any comment is appreciated Any comment? Here's some from VI-Control: Quote Those are some of the best sordino strings I have ever heard. The violins and viola both have that sweet, silky warm tone that only live instruments typically can create. This is a hit in my book!!! Quote I’ve been in the market for a string library with pure sordino legato for the longest time. These are some of the best I’ve heard and super affordable too so this couldn’t be more perfect! Quote Just as with Orchestral Strings, my goodness, the tone @Sonokinetic BV is capturing is just something else. Then again, this library didn't come up when someone asked for a favorite sordino string library, but there weren't any sub $50 libraries listed anyway. I forgot I had these so I haven't used them, but the demos sound really sweet. If I didn't have them I would be very tempted. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are easily attracted to new. They rarely tell it like it is if developers are on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the biggest weakness of VI-Control is that people over there seem to have very, very deep pockets. So if you'd ask there if you should buy some $50 library, many would reply "no, buy this $500 library instead". VI-Control is not perfect but it's the best I've found. You need to read a lot of the threads there to learn the general direction of the wind and when recommendations and opinions should be taken with a grain of salt, but if you can point me to a better source of information about orchestral libraries I'd love to hear it. Seriously, because that kind of information is really hard to come by and these things are expensive. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Blanc Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Hmm I registered the serial in Native Acces but it doesn't show up. Maybe it's busy season. Will check again in a couple of hours. World Cup time! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, because that kind of information is really hard to come by and these things are expensive. Those are the easy ones to weed out to trust. There's only a few I'd trust. Most of them are working on projects and don't have time to comment. I've been on there a long time going back when the users were on the NSS. I've figured out the landscape. I tend to trust advice here more often based on what you said. Sometimes the sample library discussions are entertaining. That place can be toxic. APD is practically blacklisted. You really have to weed through to get some honesty because it they are obsessed with shiny and new. They are not my first source for information but still helpful since developers don't have working demos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I opened a ticket, because I got the exact same serial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
