Reply To: Crocus Soundware All Libraries & Bundles Up to 60% Off

I have an issue with this new library from them.

A couple of months ago Emergence Audio released Obsidian Brass, and in one of the first review videos, the first comment was a guy saying:

“ Hi Don, thanks for the review! I see this library as being in the same style and as a competitor to the beloved CrocusSoundware LIMINAL Horns Vol.1. Both are based on evolving ensemble loops, but the latter is more affordable. From your great review, it seems to me that Emergence Audio offers maybe a wider palette of sounds compared to CrocusSoundware. However, while both libraries provide many soundscape variations (with CrocusSoundware focusing on blend of French horns and flugelhorns), I personally prefer in general the CrocusSoundware sounds for its more aleatoric and unique mesmerizing atmospheres that immediately put you in that hypnotic environments. Emergence Audio sounds nice too, but to my ears, the resulting soundscapes feel a bit more “standard” synth-like compared to the so unique hypnotic vibe that CrocusSoundware consistently delivers (in each library). By the way, it seems that LIMINAL Horns Vol.2 might be coming soon!

Just sharing my perspective as a fellow end user. 🙂 “

That sounded fishy, like a sales pitch for CrocusSoundware Liminal libraries on that Emergence Audio OBSIDIAN Brass Library…

and there you go… couple months later Crocus Soundware releases Liminal ZEPHYRIAN Brass

My problem with this is that i really doubt that guy was merely “a fellow end user”
