kitekrazy1 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I'm not sure it's worth the 19gb of space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xoo Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I had a look and so grabbed the free player and one of the free libraries (Angels). Very nice it is too if you ask me. For $15, assuming the percussion library is as nice, I'd say it's a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time Soundpaint release a library, I see this type of comment. It’s not expensive. Depends if you need it and can manage the space. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the Soundpaint Libraries are disk hogs...but if you need, or want, them....then have at it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxiousmofo Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Would be nice if they did crossgrades for similarly redundant stuff like bazantar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fits with the tone of his walkthroughs, which I find a bit too self congratulatory. Others have commented about Troels listing that he has an Academy Award, without mentioning which academy awarded it. They felt that it gave the impression that he has an Oscar, which he doesn’t. He likes to blow his own trumpet as well as sampling them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be curious to know what their reasoning is for this, or maybe they just haven't decided on the right compression algorithm yet. Perhaps they have one in the works?

The reason is that Sounpaint cannot use the Proprietary Kontakt Compression Algorithm, and therefore will have a much larger footprint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, I was just wondering if they have ever addressed this and have a plan to fix it. I haven't heard anything so I'm assuming that they haven't addressed it. Hopefully they will come up with their own quality compression algorithm. I like it when there's competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technostica Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 SP talk a lot about using a different sampling paradigm, so the larger file sizes aren't necessarily due to not using a decent compression format. Those who follow them on Discord might have more info and here is the basic info from their site: "Soundpaint™ is uses a proprietary audio format (Real-Time Samples™) which render instruments in real-time. All instruments can have 127 discrete dynamic velocity layers." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
