PavlovsCat Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) Project Sam's person who posts on VI Control just made an announcement that the developer is going to be releasing a new series of free sample libraries that will come out the last Thursday of every month for 12 months beginning tomorrow, August 31, 2023. For anyone who knows this developer, even their freebies are really nice. If you don't already have the totally free "The Free Orchestra 1" -- which works in the free KONTAKT Player -- you should pick it up. But be sure to check with them tomorrow to get their first library. From the developer: "The Free Orchestra 2 will be a new library, separate from The Free Orchestra 1. Every last Thursday of the month we will release a new instrument, starting August 31st. (Yes, that's in 1 week) Every newly released instrument can be downloaded as an update through Native Access. Once all the 12 instruments have been released, The Free Orchestra 2 is complete!"https://projectsam.com/ Edited August 31, 2023 by PavlovsCat I wanted the headline to reflect that the library is now available.

PavlovsCat Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) I love all of the freebies that Project Sam puts out, it's really just a blast to play with these libraries. But with my branding and marketing hat on, I have say that recently announcing "The Free Orchestra Version 2.0" on their website (which is for The Free Orchestra first version) stating that it now features 2 new instruments while they also announced the upcoming "The Free Orchestra 2" was kind of comically confusing. Excellent developer, less excellent at naming products and clear communications. Fortunately, today the Project Sam folks removed the big headline for The Free Orchestra (1) version 2.0 update on that library's landing page and added a separate page for the Free Orchestra 2. But I'd suggest there would be significantly less confusion if they simply used one page that quickly conveyed that these are two separate collections of sample libraries. So, anyone who saw the site last night and was confused by it, just think of it this way: there are two different Free Orchestras, 1 and 2. The Free Orchestra 1 is apparently on version 2, but let's leave it "has recently been updated with two additional libraries " as they now present it.

The 'customer service' on this forum is actaully better than that from most companies I've done business with. It is people like @JoeGBradford that make me appreciate this forum. While every forum has bad actors (and a few of them really seem to love to hate on me -- in posts and PMs, largely following my making a post asking people not to violate forum policy and make political and posts hostile/intolerant to minority groups as they were doing), there is a relatively small percentage of them in this forum compared to others. Overall, this group has a really friendly and helpful vibe. It's why this is my main music forum and likely why even those who don't use CbB are here. Kudos, Joe! I always enjoy seeing your posts.
