AcousticGuitar 3.0 For Kontakt – Special Release Offer for This Community

[Andrea Pettinhouse]

Hi everyone,

First of all, I want to thank Peter, he has been a friend since the very beginning, back in 2006 when I released my very first library. Next year Pettinhouse will celebrate its 20th anniversary, and I’m hoping to mark it in a special way.

My name is Andrea, I run Pettinhouse.com. I’m an Italian independent developer of sample libraries for Kontakt and a music producer. Some of you may already know me, others maybe not. I’ve been making libraries for almost two decades now, but above all I am a musician just like you, completely in love with music. I’m not very “social” by nature, that’s why you don’t often see me around forums. But today I wanted to step in here, because this place feels like the right community to share my work and passion.

 

I create my libraries entirely by myself, from recording and editing to scripting, graphics, and support. This way everything follows one vision, with a natural link between sound, design, and playability. My goal is not a standardized “radio processed” tone, but something alive, natural, and inspiring. In the last five years I’ve focused strongly on this philosophy, and I’m also bringing it into my earlier releases.

 

Why I’m here?

Now, the reason I’m here today is not only to introduce myself, but also to offer my brand-new AcousticGuitar 3.0 to this community at a special price, just for you: $59 instead of $79.

Get it here: https://www.pettinhouse.com/html/ag3sub.html

 

It comes with three playing modes,  fingerstyle, pick style, and an automatic strummer with editable patterns, plus manual strumming keys, smooth dynamics, natural slides, legato, and many other details that make it feel like a real guitar in your hands.

 

And if you’re curious about exploring everything I’ve done so far, the Complete Bundle with all 13 Pettinhouse libraries is currently available for $119 instead of $149.

Get it here: https://www.pettinhouse.com/html/bundlebf.html

 

Thank you for reading, and thank you for welcoming me here. I’m really looking forward to your feedback and questions. And if you don’t plan to purchase right now, you can still help me a lot with a simple comment on my YouTube video, it really makes a difference for an independent developer like me.

Welcome, it’s great to have you here, my friend, @pettinhouse-com. You posting about your early days reminds me of chatting with you right before my daughter was born. You insisted on paying me for marketing consulting and I refused to accept it (I just reread our email thread!)  — I even turned down NFRs (okay, there’s no way I’d be so generous today!!), plus I already owned all of your libraries. So, when I got home after the birth of my daughter, I see an email from you that you just released your Warm Jazz guitar library and were giving me an NFR of the library as a birthday gift for my daughter, and it would be an insult to her if I refused it! I’ll never forget that!

To think, how many people have trolled me when I shared that back when my career was hot, I would give a bunch of small indie developers consulting advice at no charge (and later did some paid consulting for some of them as they grew). My thought was, I was making enough money and I loved the idea of being connected to music again and I loved helping developers just starting out who made tools I loved for music making.  There were a lot of small developers in the 00s, some of them got to be big, some of them left the industry. All of the ones I’ve helped but two, are still around and one of those two (Ben from Camel Audio) sold his company to Apple, where he works today. Steven Slate had just started his first drum library and did not yet have retail distribution or make plugins. The word got out about me helping developers and soon a bunch were contacting me. Even recently, Carlo from AudioThing contacted me out of the blue to ask me for advice about his Wurly library (spoiler alert: I did accept a copy of his Wurly plugin for helping him with some quick advice!).

It also feels nice to see @bapu’s installed. I’m pretty sure that he has a trademark on the term “installed.” 😉  At least, when I see other people posting “installed,”I’m like, hey, you need to have a ® next to it: installed® (installed is a registered trademark of Bapu Industries, all rights reserved).

Peter, what a memory! I remember that story about WarmJazz and your daughter’s birth. For me it was natural, you had already given me so much help at the time, and I just wanted to give something back in my own way.

I’ve always admired your generosity with indie developers. Reading your message brings me back to those days when everything felt new and full of possibilities.

Thanks again for your words, Peter. They mean a lot to me after all these years.

Just a reminder that Andrea is knocking off $20 on his price just for this community (and no, this isn’t affiliate marketing or a referral link; there’s no commission back to LinkedMusicians, just an indie dev giving our community an exclusive discount, which I love, BTW).

@pettinhouse-com how long will this special deal last?
