Hopefully the plugin/sample-library industry learned from Waves’ backlash when they tried to abruptly drop perpetual licenses and force everyone onto subscriptions.

Great share, @frank!
No other developer is more prolifically producing high-quality free Kontakt Player instruments than Fracture Sounds. I really look forward to every new Blueprint release they do and every one of them has made it to the list of Best Free Kontakt Instruments. I suspect this one will soon be on the list too. I absolutely love their work.

Lifelong musician (I'm old now, lol!), home recording enthusiast for 25+ years (primarily Cakewalk/Sonar user). I started as a piano player as a kid, got into singing in my teens, played in a number of bands in L.A and Vegas in the 1980's (I grew up in Vegas). Did some analog recording in those early days, and got into digital/home based recording in the late 90's. Basically a hobbyist at this point, just having fun recreating songs from the soundtrack of my life, experimenting with new (to me) musical forms and genres, and lately collaborating with other musicians online. Looking forward to interacting with other passionate players and producers on this forum!
