Darn.I was hoping that they’d have something I really wanted in this sale. They really focus hard on metal, and seem to do a great job with it. But as a rock guy, I didn’t find the EZXs in the sale very appealing. @pseudopop knows why I didn’t find today’s EZX of interest (I sold him my license for Funkmaster’s last night month).

Hopefully,…Read More

I think you know @pseudopop that SD3 is my go-to for acoustic drum samples. But Toontrack rarely has the SDXs that interest me on deep discounts like this. Rock Warehouse SDX is one that I have been interested in. I don’t recall my take on the two Roots SDXs — I need to check those out. I already own Custom & Vintage, which I find kind of meh…Read More

@pseudopop I cut and pasted the below post of yours just prior to the re-migration of the site.

Day 2: Idiophones 70% off (€29.99 + VAT).

BTW, let me know if the prices you see are different.

Plugin Boutique and Best Service are rarely the cheapest option for people outside the US, unless they have an exclusive deal.

AudioDeluxe gives you back 3 times the amount of your purchase in DeluxeCoins, and you need at least 100 DC to get a $1 discount. They almost always have a 10% discount code…

@pseudopop I can’t help but wonder if their logic is to lock people into sticking with their drum plugins by not complying with the standard, so if you use their plugin to create a MIDI track, you can’t easily swap it out with another drum plugin. Whatever the logic, it’s undesirable, IMO. While I think this is a good freebie, for those of us that…Read More

@Pseudopop is the Lament pack very cinematic or would it be usable in other stuff you reckon?

In my esteemed opinion, it’s very cinematic. If you want to create sound textures or play foreboding chords that slowly fade in, this is your jam. There a…

@pseudopop, he’s an Indian-American youtuber, so he releases loads of these loyalty/referral links, and sometimes they happen to be pretty useful

Personally I’d go for the Artist Packs. Hainbach and Dust-o-Tron specifically. I find those Streetly tapes too samey. Choirs, violins, flutes.

The previous IMP10 code didn’t work on Lament so if you’re looking at that you’re good for a discount with MM10.

Ahaha, loved the competition bit: he’s meme-famous for his sweaters, and the self-irony here is great. But yeah, there’s a whole community around him of people who are into test equipment, we find some at thrift stores and local marketplaces to see whether it can make any interesting sound. We call this practice “will it music?” And…Read More

@pseudopop Thanks for giving your honest insights with the library. I think I may have bought that first jazz drum kit for cheap when the developer just launched and then forgotten about it. I’d love to hear from anyone who picks this up. One things is certain, they have fantastic audio demos.

@pseudopop, do you — or anyone else here — own any Authentic Soundware libraries, and if so, can you share your thoughts on them (quality of the libraries, playability, presets, etc.).

I bought their Jazz Drums Complete Bundle three years ago, and I wasn’t very impressed by it.

I gave the Kon…Read More

Wow, I knew of this developer, and love everything I’ve heard from their demos. The demos for this library, which I don’t believe I’ve heard until today, sound incredible to my ears. I love that sound — the beautiful tone of the drums, the analog sound of the recordings (samples). It’s pure magic — and nostalgia for that 50s-60s era of jazz that…Read More

Has anybody used these?  what do you think?  Are they good? Excellent?

I have some of their presets. Presets are highly subjective, of course, but I think they range from pretty good to just okay. T…

@pseudopop, UVI is in a pretty unique position for me — I deeply respect them, yet it’s so easy for me to ignore all their products since they’re mostly sample-based. No GAS at all (which is such a good feeling)

I understand that they may not be for everyone, but if you’re referring to my inten…Read More

@pseudopop So, clearly, you’re a BFD3 user. BFD has had a challenging history with a good deal of software problems. How have things been lately?

Well I appreciate your efforts @pseudopop! You’d think I would get in the habit of checking Epic every Thursday, but I need the nudge. 👌

Kiitos!

I’m pretty sure the samples used in this are from an 80s drum machine. I believe it’s the Emulator. But I agree with @pseudopop, this is really not worth downloading. I created two lists of reviewed and recommended sample libraries and they include drum libraries that are leaps and bounds better than this. This library reminds me of a Soundfont…Read More

@pseudopop I really like that. Well worth developing!

@pseudopop That’s very cool. It’s really imaginative. Thanks for sharing.
