So you want to know what do you do well?

This is the only safe place inside the industry I’ve spotted, no worries on getting attack bombed by hundreds of certain tribes for liking something or saying hmm this doesn’t work well hope they can improve that without having a flame war in posts and private messages and their according insane threats…

Its also a place where people chat normally with one another in a healthy discurs.

All this made this place great but even more thst you my friend run it with such love and care to make it a better place.

Peter you rock @LinkedMusicians

Oh Peter you are mean there and I know sooo many plugins and synths…. maybe a sale of kids is due….

[thor]

Ok as promised I’m back 🙂

Due to Xmas I won’t be able to buy it right now… got 3 kids and a wife…

So I reviewed based on audio quality in demos and reviews

Ok 2 things

Musio1 itself is discontinued as per All About Musio 1 – Musio https://share.google/EddjKKXnaz0rwQ6ur but if you own it then its kept and there is still a possibility
So if you want to buy it get it here the full library for 326gbp or equivalent in your currency Buy Musio 1 | Virtual Instruments | Plugin Boutique https://share.google/lNJpR0sUkVemFTVOj

Here we go now:

Have a 1tb free for all the libraries of it and it will take a bit to get all.

Sound quality:

1800+ instruments in 250+ libraries

Some are not completely state of the art as its over 10 years of instruments developments in techniques and recording but this is one serious complete collection for composing.

Sounds are recorded professionally and sound fab and offer keyswitching and velocity switching editing is limited but that’s rather positive if don’t need that depth.

Its an amazing bread and butter set for composers, bad Peter bad bad boy you make spend soon on this..

Is it for everyone good question this very accessible but not as deep as some others like spitfire or VSO if you are doing it for living there might be better options which cost a couple of thousand dollars. I will get it as its great for quick writing due to its quick setup for the instruments.

I hope this honest quick view helps plus I suffered GAS Peter I hold you responsible 😂🤣😂🤣

I do own Eastwest, VSO, Native instruments Stadivaries and cellos and Spitfire BBC Orchestra as well.as the Kirk Hunter set.

I need to look at Muso 1, but with EastWest it’s easy to overload as it doesn’t do divisi in the version I have but it does have thst Hollywood twang.

I will check out Muso 1 and come back

I like BBC for Orchestral work and the native strad & cells for solo work

Yes it was Drumstrip,

Its a very focused tool, it makes working on drums easy. The quality of the SSL plugins is their console counterparts equal not some cheap knockoffs.

My Drumchapel usually is

SSL Drumstrip

UAD 1176 Limiter

UAD Fairhchild EQs

The Drumstrip has the main tools for all type of drumchannels to start with and if I need to reshape the dynamics of a drum sound then I use the Three-Body Technology Trinity Shaper (pluginalliance) which is insanely versatile for any transient work.

This gives me control, punch and colour

Got this today and its hell of a lot of fun,the plugins sound fab and are easy to use, pretty much wysiwyg. The snares are a fabnjnterestung collection too!

This is a killer steal and there ain’t an excuse not to right now

Its a fight between Schubert, Kraftwerk and Peter Gabriel…

I think Peter wins for always listening, the other require the right mood…

The virtual Modulars are then a possibility for you Cherry’s is fab they offer patches and you can save module groups as mini presets you can add into patches. They come also with some good set of preset patches ready to play or learning examples.

Yes these plugins are a fantastic choice, I use them frequently on my work

[thor]

You did nothing wrong Peter, he was warned, you asked very professional for stopping the behaviour and he gone and really violated the core rules of this space he has no footing in this as it’s plain and simple his fault. You’re a fab human and do an amazing job here to create a space without this unnecessary vile and selfish behavior just like a little teenie…

I had most of Kirks libraries over the years, I will write up some essentials later today, what was fab is that his libraries were focused on playing techniques and fantastic legatos in an very accessible way. He led the way with polyphonic legato technology!

You “had”? Did you end up selling them?

Studio One, Windows, RME UFX, Yamaha MSP7

No I didn’t sell them,  don’t know if that even works. Just didn’t buy every single library but most of what Kirk produced and it was always inspiring.

My download.page is just somehow broken at his page need to message Kirk to get it fixed.

Here we go,

the kinetic series is fantastic but more for serious composing as its very specific

Diamond is a general purpose orchestra with very detailed options and extendable with the concert brass and string series which offer great techniques and things like very flexible vibrato and styles.

The adaptive and other series add on top from there to offer more complex elements to the tool box.

So if you have nothing get the Diamond, if you got that get the extras, I love the kinetic stuff for dramatic movie style composing as it offers a lot for quick passages.

In general Kirk has some of the most inventive special features like polyphonic legato, stops and quick play patterns with deep control like the kinetic series.
