What's on your Spitfire Christmas Wish List?

On a personal level that is certainly true. But not when you speak generally... then would be generalizing your opinion and need of a library.

And I'm again going into semantics. If you just say that your sale will be thermonuclear then I won't just take your company into consideration. Just like if I'd tell you I'm working on a ground-breaking project you wouldn't expect I only reference previous work I have done... in that sense producing a simple piano library would be ground-breaking to me because I never produced a library. :P

So, if they'd just say - be part of one of our biggest (or the biggest) sales there would of course be no problem at all. Rather than implying it's epic and big in general.

Nice discussion this, in waiting for the mail!
I don't think your analogy is apt here. A 'groundbreaking project' inherently refers to projects in general, I think. 'Take part in our wishlist-sale which is going to be thermonuclear again' refers to a particular sale of a particular 'we'. I don't think you can say 'I hardly do any projects, so this one is groundbreaking.' whereas 'We hardly do any sales, so this one is thermonuclear' is perfectly possible (in my mind).

Chamber sounds better, to me, and Solo Strings is recorded in the same room as Chamber Strings, not Studio Strings.

comparing Studio Brass Pro with my VSL Brass and HW Brass, after only a short time, i prefer VSL and HWB, tonally.

Studio Brass Pro has some great features and is a contrast at least.

it will get used - nice to have.

second thinking the deep dive into the Studio Series.

edit

then again, Studio Strings Pro for $299.

Hi mate, I don't know if you are worse at making decisions than others here, but you are certainly better at documenting it. :D

if it can help someone along the way.

Ha, well now I'd have to know exactly what they said.
I mean... "we" - that's not a factor here. Of course it's their sale. That still means that if your refer to it as thermonuclear it can be compared to other sales. But if you just say "one of our biggest" then it can only be compared to their sales. Just like when I say that that a project is ground-breaking for me. Or it's one of my biggest projects.
So, a formulation that doesn't invite comparisons other than to what you have done before would be appropriate...
 
"Thermonuclear"....

That would be almost if the gift was a free library - as in - pick two of your wishlist, get the cheaper one free, the rest after that is 10% or 15% off.

I don't like the fighting with superlatives, but that's me.
 
looks like i'll be going with the more esoteric/creative offerings with this sale, than more Strings.

<edit, but! i love changing my mind>

good stuff.

i like waiting, half the fun.

Well if you've bought from companies like Spitfire and Orchestral Tools for a few years you might have a different perspective.
Up until the last couple of years Spitfire and Orchestral Tools didn't have sales, wish-lists etc.....They had intro pricing and pretty much that was it.
Spitfire is not having a flash sale on a few older products, they're offering nice(uniform) discounts on the entire line.

Thanks Spitfire! ;)

Absolutely.

...I have to admit though, that, due to the marketing speak, I was silently hoping for a little different discount model or higher discounts. But it's like last year ....which is all good. :thumbsup:
 
Also, the Frozen strings labs library felt like an awesome Christmas gift so in my book they also delivered on the free gift interpretation of what Christian said.

As for wish list, I am somewhat considering upgrading my SCS to SSO CS. This thread also put the BDT back in my crosshairs.

Apparently you cannot be critical of wording without "whining". Noone is "whining". It's a great deal. But not "thermonuclear" in my understanding and that of others.
Just branding this mild criticism as "whining" is rather petty.

Of course like every commercial announcement and my post maybe as well everything is dramatized these days. But i guess you know what i mean.
I wonder what people expect....a one dollar super sale?
I think it is thermonuclear in terms of Spitfire sales but maybe not compared to some other companies (which i find doesn´t do a good thing to value their libraries). If i know i can get libraries for 80%+ cheaper i would never buy for the full price again.

Is Frozen Strings different from the old Kontakt version?
