Re: Native Instruments Komplete & Upgrades 50% off

For anyone considering going for the CE version just because of the Symphony series, please do check them out further before deciding. In brief, I have the Essentials as part of Komplete 11U, but am sad to say I am not fond of them, especially when I compare them to other libraries such as Spitfire,...

Re: Toontrack announce 4 new products [May update: Orchestral Percussion SDX out now]

Re. the “rolls”, the video for them on the web site is most informative, and I actually spent close to half a day expanding on the suggestions and creating longer and more complex rolls involving multiple instruments. Can definitely recommend at least two or three other videos as well since they exp...

Re: Cubase 10 released [10.0.20 update]

But why has the "Set up Colors" option in the Colorize pop-up been moved to Project > Project Colors Setup? Just extra clicking if one wishes to customize a color. Do like the option to choose color by name though. And why does this web site want me to spell "colour" as "col...

I understand some have concerns about the interface, but personally it is not a pronlem for me at all and is certainly more appealing on my own screen than when viewing the Cinesamples v...

Re: Revised Evos from Spitfire

It's way more than just a renaming. The Evos have been updated and altered and they now run in Spitfire's own engine. Some will like that, some will not, but the updates are free and one can also keep using the older Kontakt versions if they wish.

Re: The Nemeio customisable keyboard

I use two full sized Stream Decks and would never want to be without them. I suggest the best time to buy them is usually on Black Friday because I don't see them going on sale all that often. In order to get the best out of one, I strongly believe the use of Profiles is essential. For example, when...

Re: Sonokinetic Woodwinds Ensemble - 24 hour sale at 80% off

Okay, so ditching 24 bit samples and running with the 16 bit ones, does save space...obviously... but curious as to why people are going with the 16 bit ones, and not the 24 bit samples. This has been debated a few times, but is the consensus that there's not much difference in sound so just use 16 ...

Re: Cinesamples Sale Extended until Fri 10/19

That sounds good until it's converted to ca. $150 CAN. :) I do feel even that is a bit high, BUT I do like the library, have no pro...

I see some interesting features I wouldn’t mind having, but once again for me it comes down to considering need and content vs. cost. Even with the NOVO discount, this library ends up costing $460 CAN and I just can’t justify spending that much money on a ‘speciality’ library. So it’s a pass for me ...

Wonderfully, Larry! Certainly, as Guy mentioned, the piece comes more alive with the additional percussion and synth, and I also like that you've moved away from the minor key environment used in so many of the other 'demos'.
