Some are cheaper to buy in the normal way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I wanted Cinepiano, but @ $81ish, while that's a good deal in and of itself, relative to this glitch where you can get a $500 library for $81ish it's not a great deal. I grabbed Voxos and I'm gonna stop there. I cleaned up on that Sampletekk piano deal a little while back where all those pianos were like 90% off, and I haven't checked them out yet but I got like four or five pianos out of that deal and I'm probably doing okay in the piano department for now to pass on Cinepiano for $81ish.

If you want CinePiano, you can put Piano bundle to your cart then cinepiano price is 66$ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see CinePerc as v1.3 and CineStrings Solo as v1.2 for example, but surely these are the latest versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jngnz Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Turns out the Everything Bundle was only temporarily not available due to CineBrass having been sold out. They apparently acquired new licences and it worked again. Now the same thing is happening again because CinePerc sold out. BTW: I already regret my impulse purchase of CineStrings Solo. I was like OMG GLITCH!!! and jumped on it after hearing 5 seconds of a demo, but actually testing the library myself, it's pretty clear I will have little use for it because all the strings sound like they were recorded for the next BBC medieval drama. Buy responsibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really make orchestral or trailer music but I've been trying to justify getting it though I don't know what I'd use it for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Fowler Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Me too, @Christian Jones...it's still in my cart at the glitch price. But even though I'd save $600USD on it, I'm not sure I'd get my $80 worth given how rarely I'd find a use for it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jngnz Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 I just got it, so take this with a grain of salt, but CinePerc isn't only cinematic percussion, but all kinds of percussion. Xylophone, Marimba, all kinds of clickety clack wood and metal percussion, fairly exotic stuff included. Seems totally usable outside of orchestral stuff, but I have only played around so far. I'd say it's EASILY worth the $80 and more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy responsibly. I was really close to making the same (probable) mistake. I had all the core libraries in my cart, and was looking at that $400 price tag. Then I looked at my spreadsheet where I keep documentation of all my VSTs and Kontakt libraries. It didn't take me long to determine I really didn't need them at all. I did end up purchasing both choirs though. Will have a quick play through tonight, but I think I'll be happy with those purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what would I do with it as I have EWHO and BBCSO Pro? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, CinePerc is supposed to be the be-all-end-all percussion library, especially for orchestral work, but if you're happy with what you already have, why waste 90GB of SSD space? I will use it quite a bit but my only other major percussion library is Evolution World, so I am extremely happy with one of two purchases at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jngnz Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 CinePerc is available again so all the bundles are as well. At this point it is pretty safe to say this is not a glitch, or if it started as one, they're sure embracing every bit of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a ton in the way of orchestral stuff, but then I don't really make that kind of music. But as a composer you never know what you might be called upon to do. I know I have EW Hollywood Brass Diamond. I'll have some percussion in Kontakt factory library, but. I'm just wondering if it's a good move to grab Cineperc and maybe something else that normally costs several hundred dollars lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if it's a good move to grab Cineperc and maybe something else that normally costs several hundred dollars lol People on VI-C are going especially crazy for CineWinds and CineBrass. The caveat seems to be that you need Core AND Pro if you want all the instruments and mic positions, so even with the glitch discount, it’s a fair bit of money and out of no-brainer territory for non-orchestral composers IMO. CineStrings is a little less highly praised, but still popular. For the current price, there's probably nothing better out there. For non-orchestral, Solo is a fantastic library, but you have to be aware the instruments sound fairly old fashioned (people are saying „medieval“; I concur), making it not exactly suitable for more modern music. If you're in doubt this much, however, I'd pass. $80 on something you'll never use and can't re-sell is still wasted money. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the + to Cinesamples is the Kontakt format and has no machine limit like the other 2. With Kontakt you can remove libraries much easier than other samplers.
