Fleer Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 I think this is a smaller version of their Voices of Rapture - Soprano library. And that’s a pretty good one. 1

Is it pretty good, or is it pretty pretty good? Inquiring minds need to know before spending $3. Edited May 2, 2023 by husker 2
bitflipper Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Anyone know if the "New" Iron Pack 7 is an update to the old "Iron Pack 7"? I'll gladly give them another 3 bucks if they've added content.

Our advanced sound-design features and sound-shaping controls let you morph and stretch these vocal timbres into new dimensions of soundscapes and more.” Iron Pack 7 - Soprano upgrade is $2
Mark Lau Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) I bought this new version not realizing it was an upgrade. The audio material sounds very similar to me. The new four part engine is easier to use to combine sounds with. I don’t particularly like the chromatically sampled long notes at pitch, but when stretched down in pitch and combined with some of the other sounds, it makes for some pretty interesting sounding patches – which is what I think the Iron Packs are best at. I don’t think I’ll ever use any of the vocal phrases as they sound pretty not good to me, but some of the Custom FX presets are kinda awesome. EDIT: I just found that there is a scripted legato/portamento function hidden away in the GUI which brings more functionality than initially meets the eye. To me, Soundiron are kinda like the opposite of 8DIO – underpromises but overdelivers. Edited May 3, 2023 by Bovinator

I don't know if you knew it or it's just a coincidence, but Troels (the founder of 8Dio) formerly had a sampling company called Tonehammer with the folks now known as SoundIron. I agree with your observation. Edited May 4, 2023 by PavlovsCat

Fleer Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 This is the blurb I got: ”Iron Pack 7 - Soprano upgrade is available to existing owners for only $2” And here’s the link: https://soundiron.com/3712865/checkouts/96cb7d19b445761cf50693b12377c334?channel=buy_button&mc_cid=48e85e64d4&mc_eid=8631bcff3c 2

bitflipper Posted May 4, 2023 Posted May 4, 2023 And here I thought *I* was the biggest tightwad around here. You skinflints probably wouldn't be interested, but if you're willing to part with five whole bucks, Iron Pack #5 is the best of the collection, imo. 1 2
Mark Lau Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 I think I might be the tightest wad around here. I got the upgrade price, then applied my edu discount, paid $1.34, then still checked out the instrument for ages – making sure I got my money’s worth – which I thought I did – all $1.34 of it. Yeah, the Baritone Guitar is not bad – not sampled particularly deeply, but that’s probably not the point of a library like this. If you are looking to get just a favor of a BG in the context of a track, this might do. 1
bitflipper Posted May 6, 2023 Posted May 6, 2023 You win, Bovinator. Tightest wad of all time, I think. (Now watch Larry come along and claim he paid $0.50 for it using discount code IAMACHEAPSOB.) 1 3
