Re: Spitfire APEX sale / 50% off
Mmm. I’m not going to try to dissuade you from getting it, Rob, but I want to issue a small word of caution nonetheless: in my opinion, the Studio Series doesn’t rank among Spitfire’s best work. Not saying these libraries are crap or totally useless, certainly not, but they’re not good either, I fin...

Re: Spitfire Audio - Free Philip Glass piano
Strange indeed. You get access to the Glass house to sample the composer's piano, and then you come back with this ? I don't get it. It's also programmed very weirdly, I find: first virtual piano I've come across that requires the modwheel to change dynamic layers (producing something very unplayabl...

Re: Spitfire / Appassionata ("Impulse Legato" Strings)
Nothing revolutionary here, nope.(...) Perhaps not, but what, for me anyway, sets this library apart from everything else, is the recorded timbre. The oak-y, amber-y, beewax-y sound of these strings. I've never heard it quite like this in any other strings library, including Spitfire's earlier rele...

Re: Arturia / Tape MELLO-FI / free gift (until Dec. 31st)
There's more to Tape Mello-Fi than the tape-stop, Bill. Probably much which you can do already with other plugins, but still.
And it all sounds quite convincing.
Try it, I'd say, I'm pretty sure you'll want to keep it.
Here's a quick video, going over the options.
