      If you — like me — own 8Dio’s excellent Blackbird acoustic drum library for Kontakt, you can pick up the SoundPaint version for $15. Otherwise, it’s $30, which is still an excellent price for a detailed acoustic drum library that sounds great.

      https://soundpaint.com/products/blackbird

      If you’re a new SoundPaint customer, you can get $15 off your first purchase using the referral link below from LinkedMusicans:

        I received an email from 8Dio saying I was eligible for the crossgrade for Blackbird but when I went to the site, it still showed $30 for me. I do in fact own Blackbird. Guess I need to contact support. They have actually been very responsive in the past.

        This would be a clever signature if I could think of one.

          Yeah, I’d send it through the customer support. They’ve always been excellent in my experience too.

          Also, I’d like to let you and those who’ve helped with this site post their referral codes in this thread, as you and others have been such a help to this site, I think it’s only reasonable. I would be happy to replace my referral code with yours — I already own too many sample libraries as it is.


          @lamia6
          (my go-to for everything technical on this site; she’s written scripts and helped me so many times — I am greatly indebted to her), @bluescat (he’s been there from the beginning on this site, in fact, before I even started building it), @joegyork, and @mustakatu, that goes for you guys too (and anyone else who’s pitched in who I haven’t mentioned, feel free).  While we have a policy against people posting referral codes or affiliate codes in order to keep people from spamming the forum, I’ve contemplated how to reward everyone who helps out, and I’m thinking what I can do is feature people’s referral codes in sale posts (like my original posts) as they save our community money and can also save the people who make this community operate some money and be a way of saying thanks for their help.

          to me in the site, you are absolutely one of the people who I would be happy to share their referral code for 8Dio here, while we have a policy against members sharing referral codes and affiliate links, all of our volunteers who help the site can post there referral code here). In fact, Doug, if you want to post your referral code in a comment, I’ll replace the one in my original post with yours.

            I received a response from 8Dio. They said that I should apply the the crossgrade discount code I received in the email. But I did not receive a crossgrade code in an email. Did any of you?


            @peter
            , thanks for the offer to replace your referral code with mine. I would rather you get the the benefit than me. You have put way more into this site than I.

            This would be a clever signature if I could think of one.

              Doug, I own the 8Dio version too and received the email and no code too. I’ll contact them and get back to you when I hear back from them.

                @doug I just heard back from 8Dio with the code. As it’s only for people who own the 8Dio version, I don’t want to post it publicly, so I’ll DM it to you.

                  8Dio got back to me as well with the same code. 8Dio support is superb and really deserves our business.

                  I wonder how many others have not been able to crossgrade because they did not receive the email.

                  This would be a clever signature if I could think of one.

                    Hey guys!

                     

                    Do you know if the $15 referral discount stacks up the ‘Blackbird” owner crossgrade?

                    Which would make it free 🙂

                     

                    I’m having the same problem than doug.. I got the e-mail but no code, I’ve tried Soundpaint support but got no reply…

                    I ended up here searching online for a tip about what would be the crossgrade price, if it’s worth insisting on contacting support again, since I don’t see much value in spending another $15 for a remastered version of I already have, but if it ends up being free It’s a no brainer!

                     

                    Thanks!

                      First, it’s your first post! Welcome! 🙂

                      I’m pretty sure that you cannot stack codes with SoundPaint. I think the minimum spend with a voucher is $5 (at least it was the last time I used one). I’m friends with the CEO, but it still took their support person a day or two to get back to me with the code for owning the 8Dio version.

                        Thanks!

                        I don’t think they’ll ever reply, it’s been 12 days, my request probably got lost somewhere.

                        But that’s ok, I’m happy with the kontakt version of Blackbird.

                        If they do reply I come here to tell what happened.
