8Dio - The Century Strings 2.0 Bundle: Normale and Sordino - $48 - Flash Deal

[Kirean]

Historical low I assume. Until March 10th.

https://8dio.com/products/new-century-strings-2-bundle

For me it shows up for $148 instead for some reason. Not sure if the price gets fixed when put into a cart. Email I got didn't seem to have a separate voucher.

$148 here too. Same in cart. They probably made a mistake in the newsletter and forgot the "1" in "$148".

I thought so too but the email heading was "UNDER $50: The Century Strings 2.0 Bundle: Normale and Sordino".

Unless they somehow forgot the 1 from everything. But at ~150 buckaroonies it's not that good of a deal since it's been often way below that.

Ah. Then maybe it's the other way around? The "1" in "$148" on the shop shouldn't be there?

[Kirean]

Even the graphic says $48.

The text of the message states that you are getting $750 off, so it is not a simple mistake of missing a 1. I sent a message to 8Dio support. They have been very accomodating in the past. We will see if they honour this deal.

Now showing at the lower price.

 

[Doug Rintoul]

Yes it does. I received this from support:

Hello Doug,
 
Apologies for the confusion. It looks like there was a mixup on our end (new employee) and the price has been changed to the correct price of $48.

Both libraries take up a lot of space.  I got these in a previous package deal.

288GB.

These days, the currency can be hard drive space.....  Even at $US48, the 288GB part is a bit expensive.

Easy for some to forget that. Disk space is always cheap when you don't have to buy it.

I think part of that 288GB space if you install the lite versions as well.

I've reduced many of their libraries by deleting many of the MIC positions. Not sure how Century is set up (don't own), but it seems they have Two Mic Mixes in version 2.0, and up to 8 mic positions on top of that. It should be possible to reduce that footprint substantially if you have no use for the extensive mic arrays. 

The list on the product page is: Close 1, Close 2, Close 3, Close 4, Mixed, Decca, Close (another one?) and Wide. 

I've reduced a couple of their other libraries down to one close mic, mixed and decca and sometime the wide. Or just the Decca if I didn't like the close mic(s).  Has reduced those libraries by 50% or more. This one seems a bit more complicated as the site mentions the close mics vary depending on articulation.

One could just install the lite versions. 

[Barrie]

I guess if you are looking for variety... They have at All Strings Bundle for $198

And THAT is NI's proprietary NCW lossless compression format I believe, which is quite a bit less than .WAV format
