AVAILABLE NOW! Hans Zimmer Percussion Professional

I'm beginning to wonder if HZPPro is an overkill for my needs, given that HZP sounds great, and I could still tweak the resulting tracks via plug-ins to alter their character if needed. Plus savings on both my wallet, and SSD space that the non-Pro version offers is quite attractive. I also have other Orch. Percussion libraries.

But, I will wait to see more info. and demos released for HZPPro soon. before making my final decision.

Being able to upgrade from HZP to HZPP if I feel that is needed, is another option.

@muziksculp If I go HZPPro, it'll purely be for the Junkie mixes, same as a lot of people I'm guessing.

Interesting, I wonder how different they sound, and if I would feel they are worth the extra cost, and SSD space. For the time being, I will just wait for Spitfire to release more demos, and info. about HZPP.

Cool post _ hesitated to do with pitiful Perc experience. Trusting basic HZP does most of needs for some time. :unsure:

So are people saying it's better to just grab HZ01 as you're bound to get ALL the original material/mixes. Whereas the HZPP still might have a shed load missing?

What's latest oh wise ones?

I think HZPP has everything in HZ01 plus everything that its HZ03, right?

This is from SF Support on page 1 of this thread:

"Hans Zimmer Percussion Professional is all of the content from HZ01 and HZ03 in a new package. Ben"

While this may be true, a few of us asked about the huge discrepancy in stated sample content size between HZ01+03 vs HZPP, which is much smaller ( 116GB vs 19.6GB! ), and have not heard anything on this issue for 5 days.

Therefore, I chose to get HZO1+03 to be on the safe side and have the greatest flexibility, as some have said they like the old system and this way I'll have both for under 50$ more... upon selling my farm, top priority was adding SSDs and i now have have nearly 5TB of SSD space and plan on adding another couple TBs when I get a new rig, once the dust has settled on intel/amd's high end processors, so SSD space is not a concern for me.

I see Spitfire's addendum in next post ... but remain much more concerned with split reactions to GUI in HZ01/03 versus new version .... in addition to a few additional issues.

Feel like your decisions are solid__ for only reasonable incremental $$$ (EUR, etc.) __ go with HZ01_03 now and maybe HZP or HZPP 'crossgrade' whenever. This is my likely choice before this option maybe goes away?
 
Depends on SSD space, a not so trivial consideration... but yes, I'm glad to have both interfaces available once I have more time to compose again down the road

Thanks for the info, SF! HZPP is gonna b a beast!

Oops, ignored that ..... but Amazon has EVO 1TB ( warehouse -like New) for ~~ $250. now ... :geek:
 
Wow Holy-Cow ..... That's a huge difference in content between the HZPPro and HZP !

HZPerc. Pro : 131.9 GB compressed, 351.6 GB Uncompressed .WAV
HZ Perc. : 19.8 GB Compressed, 48.5 GB Uncompressed .WAV

I'm still undecided if I need the Pro version, but I'm looking forward to hear what the Pro version will offer compared to the standard version. (Hopefully Soon). :)

Hasn't this been answered? What I remember hearing was that HZ Perc only has the Hans mixes, while HZ Perc Pro has all of the mixes. I have HZ01, and there are mixes by 5 different producers (Alan Meyerson, Geoff Foster, Hans Zimmer, JXL, and Steve Lipson), separate "stereo mixes," and a big selection of "additional mics." All of these sound drastically different, so the timbral possibilities are are huge, even though the actual selection of instruments isn't massive.

Yes, I know what the Pro version will offer, but I would like to hear these mixes in action, to evaluate it, and make a decision if I go with the Pro or Standard version.

Me as well ...... but are these not available in HZ-01 & 03 ?
This is testing my oldheimer's progress ... :notworthy:
 
Ryan did this on junkie mixes...he posted it in a related thread in the sample talk forum. Each "mix" adds different flavors to the source samples...if ur happy with Hans, u can always warp his...And u can always upgrade later if u find u want them. Might pay a bit more but maybe not if u are patient for BF & other sales...

351 GB it's really a huge amount!
 
You know what. The thing that really makes this library shine and for me be the "one to go to" is the opportunity to chose different microphones. The Additional Mics are a hidden gem in this library. People seem to use the artist mix the most. But the real fun is with the Additional Mics, and to setup your own soundmix with them. ;) Makes you create your own distinguish sound.

Best
