So I’m not taking any sides when I say this. But… That video was released 6 months ago. According to Audiomodern’s own forum, Soundbox 1.0.1 was released on October 12th, 2024 (scroll down to the bottom).

That video talks about and shows a screenshot of the like/dislike ratio of…Read More

Maybe the site always going down helps with the FOMO effect 😀

I have it in MSoundFactory. I did not actually see it in the installer.

 

Thanks Doug!  You are correct- there is no soundpack to install, contrary to Melda’s own directions.  “Lofi Vibes” just appears in the MSoundFactory panel after updating.  I would guess that they didn’t create new samples; just FX fo…Read More

Thank you very much for your comments @Peter and @Brian
I appreciate your feedback!

I didn’t know anything about Mario Nieto with AudioModern.
I have the plugins Chord Generator and Harmony Bloom from Mario, and Chordjam from AudioModern is a competitor of Chord Generator.
Has been a surprise for me to know that.

This video was posted 3 hours ago but it is not yet showing in my MPlugin Installer.  Should be there soon.  Free for owners of full or LE MSoundFactory.

Agreed- “NO BRAINER” if you want sampled acoustic instruments.  The catalog is enormous.  Honestly I feel a bit of a chump for buying the lifetime license because so far, everything they have released is in Musio 1.

Wait, I liked it when reading your first sentence. I was not liking it for the third sente…Read More

I really wish I could sell my Melda Complete Bundle but the transfer fee is enormous.

That did make me wonder what the transfer fee is. It’s 20% of the full price of the library. Melda MSoundFactory, for example, has a full price of $332 US, that’s $66.40 US, which, very candidly, is very high. For…Read More

It’s on sale at other shops like Best Service for $149 US. So absolutely, JRR is the best price going, the lowest price I’ve ever seen on Musio 1.

IMO, that’s a no-brainer. I paid $149 US for it during their Black Friday sale and that was an incredible deal.

I’ve written this before — because believe me, when you’ve advised some of their competitors, it’s not like praising them is great for your relationships, it’s not. But I’m a strategist, not an influencer. I’ve never sold my right to…Read More

I own most AudioModern titles and I like them a lot, with a couple exceptions.  I was not aware that the publisher was deleting forum posts and generally handling their PR so poorly.  Keep in mind that this video is over six months old, and there is now a free Player version with two free libraries to let you truly (freely) test Soundbox.  I am no…Read More
