Wow. That seems a no-brainer.

It's a very good price. Do you have LAMP Larry? And if so, would you recommend it?
I don't often need trailer or film percussion. But usually I really like Alan Meyerson's work. So I am sure I would enjoy it sonically. I'm still debating whether I want to do the work of integrating LAMP into my template.

Re: L. A. Modern Percussion - $60 at Pulse Audio
I don’t write much music that needs orchestral percussion — in fact, if I’m honest, I don’t like orchestral percussion all that much (nor music that relies heavily on it, a few early 20th century exceptions notwithstanding) — but if I were, I wouldn’t hesitate about this deal.

I don’t have it, listened to demos when it came out, thought it sounded good, didn’t need it for the price.
Now it’s a great price, but the whole template thing-just painful.
I’ve been working with a singer/cowriter over the past year and we’re onto our ninth song. I’ve started from scratch each time-so much easier. So much less clutter.
I’ve decided to get less lazy about it and set up a half dozen new templates that are much more directed at specific projects. I just find my “everything” template unwieldy these days.
Anyway, I’m going to buy LAMP and integrate it into a big pounding template with ARK 1-type bombastic patches.

Re: L. A. Modern Percussion - $60 at Pulse Audio
I've been eyeing this for a long time. Got it the moment the deal was published on VI-C.
Re: L. A. Modern Percussion - $60 at Pulse Audio
I do not believe anyone will regret this purchase! I purchased it a while ago and it does get used.
Re: L. A. Modern Percussion - $60 at Pulse Audio
Similar for me. I do use orchestral percussion regularly, but mainly standard stuff like timpani, gran cassa, piatti. Some drums and the odd mallet here and there. With BBCSO and Cinepercussion I do have these covered twice already. I don't have much in terms of epic/cinematic percussion. But that's because I simply didn't need any so far.Piet De Ridder wrote: ↑Feb 16, 2024 1:14 pm I don’t write much music that needs orchestral percussion [...] but if I were, I wouldn’t hesitate about this deal.

Looking at the patches list, I think LAMP would add next to nothing to orchestral percussion for me.

It seems to be a great collection for hyped percussion though.
Re: L. A. Modern Percussion - $60 at Pulse Audio
interesting - this, I guess, is why we have Chocolate and Vanilla?
LAMP is a good choice for bombastic, I fill in the rest with True Strike.
For "standard" percussion I use ToonTrack Orchestral Percussion, I love the sound, and seldom need to fill in the blanks.
I find BBCSO, and Cineperc to be somewhere in between.
I also love the miscellaneous percussion libraries from the old Tonehammer folks<G>

Re: L. A. Modern Percussion - $60 at Pulse Audio
A trap I often fall into - I work with one of the less bombastic libraries on a track that is in no way intended to be epic, but after working with it for a while I decide it needs more oomph, so I insert a more bombastic library, when what I really needed to do is walk away.
It is not unlike that adaptation that happens after working for a while at a reasonable level, you start to push the volume knob up slowly.

Re: L. A. Modern Percussion - $60 at Pulse Audio
Well, I’ve bought it and may eventually try it! I’m looking forward to some slamming bombast, and I’ll report back soon.
