Musio has stopped selling perpetual licenses so this might be the last chance to get this. Basically the whole Cinesamples catalog for $120 is ridiculously good value.

I'm not sure how much lower the price could go if I wait.  So, I just pulled the trigger on this bad boy.  I'm not sure if BestService could run out of licenses, but I just can't take that risk.  It's too much of a great deal and I'd be bummed out if I missed out on it.

I don't think they really stopped.  I've seen it for $149 many times. There are other developers joining in on their player.

Based off of what you already own, I'm guessing you probably don't need it.  But based on the super low price and how much fun I'm having playing with this software, I'd say it's definitely worthy.  No buyer's remorse with this one.

Thank you for your suggestion. 😃 Maybe have one for fun and something different.

This is the correct answer 

There's definitely no need, but it's really great to have anyway at that price.

Odd man out - have had Musio sub since it fall 2023. Never use it. Decided not to resubscribe for a 3rd time. Not interest in buying what is essentially a back catalog of mid-tier libraries.

Musio is awful software. Quality of the Musio ports are terrible. Outside of Brass, there are way better libraries on the market. Most of the libraries are old or uninspired. And with terrible porting, even high quality instruments like CineBrass don't even come close to the quality of the Kontakt versions. World instruments aren't good. Vocal libraries aren't good. All the wind stuff is decent, but you could get Composer Cloud for a year for $100 and have access to better voices, better world instruments, better wind instruments, better percussion, much better orchestral libraries, better pianos, and gazillion other excellent instruments. I will argue CineBrass is the exception, but it sounds awful in the Musio engine anyway, so still pointless.

It's just a bad product all around imo. Sure, it might be worth $120 just to have a giant library of mid-quality stuff lying around, but I think money is better spent elsewhere. Sometimes having a lot of mid-tier stuff is worse than just spending $120 on one excellent library.

I don't know what Cinesamples was thinking with this terrible product. Likely just getting on the subscription / proprietary engine train, but with an engine so bad it crippled already not so great libraries. I am actually shocked by how bad some of the world instrument and vocal libraries are compared to the competition. It's wild to see.

Another point of view...

Here's a vid with a little background and overview of Musio and making a song with it.  From 3 years ago, so some things may have changed. But great insight.

In the right capable hands, you can do amazing things. YMMV

This does not sound great, sorry. Those strings, choir, brass, percussion, piano sound dreadful. Brass is great, because it's ported from Cinebrass - one of the greatest brass libraries ever made. That guys track relies heavily on the brass...unsurprisingly.

Let me clarify again - if you need something - anything - and have limited budget Musio is probably great. Cheap, perpetual, very large mid-tier libraries that cover tons of categories. 

But there is MUCH better stuff around, including free libraries that are excellent (Project Sam, Spitfire, etc.). In capable hands of course. 🤣And something like Composer Cloud is like $10 a month and blows Musio away. I know people here can afford this, because their post history is filled with buying cheap crap hand over fist, month after month after month. Ha.

Noted.  To each their own.

I like it a lot. Loads up instruments lightning fast(I’m on an old computer). Huge library that covers a lot of ground. And it makes music-making really fun 🙂 Great tool to have when inspiration strikes.

Those are even more important qualities for me than many others...anything that slows me down or makes it harder is much less likely to get used.  

I'm not interested in the Musio/etc stuff, but your statemetn still applies to any artistic tool.

It's always appealing if you are a hoarder and do it only for fun.   If you open Musio you will now see other developers now part of it. 

From what I've heard CinePerc for Kontakt is a favorite but tips at 100gb.

the reality is all of these players don't have the maturity of Kontakt.  I remember when Kontakt didn't have the maturity of Gigastudio.

This is just another way of developers reinventing the wheel of a oversaturated market.
