Amberwolf Posted July 27 Posted July 27 If you need accents, environmental sounds, stuff for trailers or game music, or even movie / video effects, this is a really good deal. If you're like me and experiment in sound, some of the stuff they've got is quite interesting. If I hadn't gotten an even better deal a while back (probably thru APD) on ST's "MASSIVE 3-IN-1 BUNDLE" https://sampletraxx.com/release/massive-3-in-1-bundle/ that is probably half of their catalog (maybe more?) I might be interested in this everything deal...but for the few things I don't already have, it's not worth the $99. for what I might actually use out of them. I do use pieces of them; there are a handful scattered within my present untitled WIP, from various parts of the M3/1 bundle Most of them are used as subtle percussive highlights, some are obvious transition elements but I don't like most of them on their own, so I stack them up wiht other things and mutate them in time / pitch / etc. (give it a listen, you'll like the evolving beat and interplay with lead and the tension building vocals.) https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/untitled-072425-000001 Orignal version still over at: https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=15064964 There are a number of Volta bits in No Bigger Than The Space Of Time, mostly effects chopped up and used percussively. https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/no-bigger-than-the-space-of-time There are also bits of various things from them, primarily Old Broken Piano, in Aftermath of Sunlight and Pre-Cast Shadows https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/aftermath-of-sunlight https://amberwolf.bandcamp.com/track/pre-cast-shadows-aftermath-of-sunlight-pt-2 1 1
husker Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Humble Bundle has this now for $99. Are these Kontakt instruments, or just a collection of .wav files?
Amberwolf Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago (edited) @husker Depends. Some of them are one, some are the other, and some of the instruments have their samples as wave files so tehy're easy to use either way. For instance, Rituals is all wav files, as is Sonikscape, Shockwave. Old broken piano is Kontakt, with all the samples as wavs both as "design" and "raw". Alert is kontakt, again with wav type samples, as is Raw Cello FX., Trumpet FX, etc. Etc. If you want to know what a specific library is, then if I have it I can look at mine. I have about half their catalog from a big sale like this last year or the year before, I think it was about half the current full-catalog price. If they had an "upgrade" sale that let me get the rest of the stuff for the difference, I might do that. If you need foley, or textural sounds, etc., their stuff is certainly interesting. I can't compare it to others', but I've used them in several tracks so far. I know i used several things from Volta in No Bigger Than The Space Of Time (a "big" sounding multipart "scifi" type piece), and from several libraries including Old broken Piano and Trumpet FX in Aftermath of Sunlight and it's sequel Pre-Cast Shadows (both experimental soundscapes). I've used some stuff (don't recall which libraries) in the Drywater, Mars series (a group of tracks for an imaginary scifi series) as tiny sounds here and there, and in Even If I Could Tell You (an imaginary concert track for a band something like Depeche Mode). (EDIT: apparently I already posted examples previously, and didn't scroll up to see that. 😊 ) Edited 2 hours ago by Amberwolf
