@gregjazz So, we haven’t touched base in a bit. I thought I’d use your Black Friday sale to ask if there’s anything in the pipeline at Orange Tree Samples that you can share with us? Any new sample libraries, updates to existing libraries, new endorsers — just a general check in for all things Orange Tree Samples. Hmm, maybe I should make that…Read More

Me and my friend and keyboardist, Dave (Dave’s on the right hand side, I’m the third guy from the left (clearly, a lot shorter than my friends and sporting a mullet — this was the mid 90s when we were working on the original band), the other two guys are other friends of mine, the first guy, Ed, plays guitar and I should ask him to join LM — in…Read More

Totally agree Peter!

I had to edit out my post as I started going on about the pandemic and losing one of my best friends of my life to COVID, and the keyboardist in my original band. I only ever showed my original songs to my immediate family and a handful of musicians I played with, and when I showed…Read More

what’s with developers who sell instrument plugins like the theremin and don’t have an audio or video demo so you can hear what it sounds like?

If you heard what it sounded like, you wouldn’t buy it.

Soom & PaulXstretch look interesting but they’re only good for extreme stretches of x10 or more. What do y’all recommend for stretches of x2 thru x10? I have various freeze reverbs but I don’t want reverb. I want to stretch the source. Any ideas? Thx!

Totally agree Peter!

Sounds cool! I hope Pianobook starts thriving again. I discovered a bunch of amazing and generous sample developers there.

It was a great diversion during the pandemic — and, as I think we all remember, there wasn’t a lot that was good about the pandemic. Pianobook was one of the good things from that time period.

It’s $129 here in the USA. Tariffs? I kid, I kid. So far, they haven’t hit software. Well, as of this post.

Unfortunately still shows $129 in the cart / checkout.

lm’s quickly become one of my favorite forums. great deals, it’s really friendly. i like best that anyone can post a deal to beat what’s been posted. you’d be kicked out a subreddit if you did that. they’re trying to make as much money as possible from their affiliate money, so it’s great that lm lets people post better deals if they can find…Read More

too bad they don’t let you pick 10 of their plugins. i have some of these, probably like a lot of people here.

sounds really nice. this developer has a few libraries I’ve been interested in. i hope they do a black friday sale soon, before i’m completely wiped out from all of the other ones.

pro-q 4 for $105.25 is a great buy.
