Great find. How are you so good at finding these kinds of deals? It’s like you have radar for them.

You know, it’s been at least a couple of years since I became aware that you and I both battle trying to curb our plugin / sample library addiction. We already know that I’m doing terrible at that. How about you, any better than me?

For anyone who saw a very toxic post that I since removed (it was a clear violation of our site’s policy), it came from a suspended member who created a new account with a fake email address. He was suspended for attacking another member of this community (not me). Before I was certain who it was, I sent him a DM offering that he could redo his…Read More

This feels like one of the better forums to me. I probably visit this site daily and appreciate all the work and sharing from everyone. There’s always room to improve, but I don’t feel anything negative when using this site.

Thanks! It’s appreciated.

This passion project of mine is the first time I’ve eve…Read More

Okay, how about sharing your favorite Orange Tree Samples libraries?

ELECTRIC GUITAR

Evolution Indie Rock
Evolution Rock Standard
Evolution Jazz Archtop
Evolution Stratosphere

ACOUSTIC GUITAR

Evolution Dry Relic
Evolution Songwriter
Evolution Nylon
Evolution Flatpick 6 – this sounds different and really comes alive in mixes, especially when…Read More

I have been contemplating if I should sticky this thread, like I did with NI’s Summer Sale, as a lot of our community members are users of NI Kontakt / Komplete and Orange Tree Samples libraries (including me), and because it’s a group buy, people are watching the number of people currently enrolled, interested to see if their discount has…Read More

@doug The ability to subscribe to any forum or subforum and get email alerts when new comments are posted has been restored. So you can subscribe to the Best Free Kontakt Instruments thread and be alerted when new free Kontakt libraries are added — and I added several really nice ones this week. When I find out about a new free library, I write a…Read More

Thanks for the suggestion, @thesteven. I know that I’ve installed all of Polyverse’s free effects plugins, but I don’t think I’ve really spent any time with them. I will be sure to do that in the near future.

On a related note, I took your recommendation for Filtron and added it to the LinkedMusicians’ list of Best Free Effects Plugins. If you…Read More

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone post anything but positive experiences with AAS, me included. Really nice dev.

Best Service and Plugin Boutique are both carrying the sale, but, Best Service has the lowest prices of them all.  For example, Chomaphone 3 is $99 at AAS and $82.27 at Best Service. Sound Packs are $19 each at AAS and $17 at Best…Read More

Maybe edit the title man. Makes it sound as if both Pivot and Pivot Lite are free…which they’re not.

Spot on. I edited the title. We’re all good now. Thanks for the catch! Teamwork! 🙂

From the Orange Tree Samples’ Facebook page:

“Nearly there! We just passed 1,000 participants, so we only need 250 more people to reach the maximum 60% OFF discount!”

New Kontakt libraries were added to the Best Free Kontakt Instruments list. We still don’t have a fix for the subscription button/link in the forums. Existing subscriptions continue to work. I’ll send a message to everyone when we have the subscribe option working again.

They could provide a legitim reg key for current Cakewalk By Bandlab users. Everybody would be happy and trust would rise. Even if they offer this at some cost, people would like to have a backuped working program to fire up at any moment.

 

They just killed Cakewalk in windows 7. Thats why…

I don’t understand.

Why would I buy a discontinued product?

Understandably, not everyone is going to be open to it. IK continues to offer SampleTron, Mixbox, and Syntronik for sale after announcing they are discontinued. But yeah, it’s soon to be an unsupported product, so I’m not sure I would buy it e…Read More
