LinkedMusicians started the topic Sonora Cinematic Flash Sale Emma Legator Prices start at £23 in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
PETER’S HOT TAKE: I’m not going to lie, but “Outstanding Cinematic Vocals Made Easily” looks like some really cliche ad copy from the 70s. That aside, this is a really talented developer whose work I enjoy. I don’t have this library and I don’t think it fits what I do, but the libraries I have of his (all paid, no NFRs) are really well…Read More

As LinkedMusicians has taken off, I’m increasingly receiving codes for NFRs (Not For Resale — basically free licenses) from developers for plugins and sample libraries. I always make clear that I’m not an influencer and I have no interest in becoming one. If I really like a plugin or sample library, I’ll mention it. If I think something is meh,…Read More

LinkedMusicians started the topic Introducing Evolve Air from Excite Audio $39 (reg. $59) / $29 Crossgrade in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
NOTE: As LinkedMusicians has taken off, I’m increasing getting developers — including major brands we all love like Rhodes — sending me over NFRs. Yep, even the guy who used to post deals here has been getting free NFRs from developers for posting their deals for years, he just doesn’t disclose it. The folks at PIB sent over a code for an NFR of…Read More

Any other Rush fans here? Yes, I have very wide musical tastes, but Rush is one of the many rock bands that I grew up listening to, so they hold a special place in my heart. While I didn’t get tickets for their upcoming tour, I am very interested in what they’re doing and excited about their playing again and the addition of their new drummer.…Read More

I was into Rush for a while and went to see them in Southampton (UK) when I was around 20 (a very long time ago!!). To be honest I was a bit disappointed – I know they prided themselves on sounding exactly like the albumn but that is what I found deeply dull – there was no live feel to the music – you know those moments when things take an…Read More

I really enjoyed Rush live. But a disclosure. Back in the day, musicians and drummers constantly compared me, as a drummer, to Neil Peart and it really annoyed me, because while I thought Peart was an excellent drummer, I didn’t think our styles had much in common beyond that we would do fast, precise drum fills and used high-pitched toms, I…Read More

PETER’S TAKE: I don’t know really personally have a need for the 60s vocals of Space Age voices, but based on demos, the vibraphone sounds great!
Requires the full version of Kontakt.

LinkedMusicians replied to the topic 🆓 Abbey Road Studios Releases FREE (Kontakt Player) Instrument The Big Nessie in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
I just tried it. It is definitely interesting. It’s a lot of heavily distorted sounds, including drum sounds. I tend to primarily work with the sounds I’ve always used in the read world, piano, electric piano, organ, drums, guitar, mandolin, bass, glockenspiel, and synths. This is very experimental. It’s different.

I’ve bought tickets to see them. I’ve seen them twice previously, though not for many years. Ironically, I listen to hardly any other hard rock bands, but got into Rush around the time of ‘Time Stand Still’, bought ‘Hold Your Fire’ and the rest is history.
