What's new

8dio is actually having a sale!

I am a big big fan of the century series both the brass and the strings, I'm waiting and waiting for a woodwinds section to complete this wonderful collection.

As far as the ensemble itself, its got a ton of articulations and they're great sounding. I personally really like the interface. Some people really dislike the way the speed knob is used for some of the one-shot samples, as I've used it more and more I appreciate the preciseness of it, though it does slow workflow down slightly (copy/paste for CC is your friend for sections doing the same articulation speed).

These samples can do really nice, lush, and rich sounds, and I think its definitely where they shine the most compared to other libraries doing something similar, but can go very aggressive as well. Overall its very versatile and great sounding, I use them a lot with my other main brass library being SSB. At the current price its a great deal, the main problem is that you'll probably be reaching for that solo library soon after, the flugelhorn is freaking magic.
Thanks Ryan,

I really do like the tone of this library. It sounds so natural! The thing is that I recently bought Cinematic Studio Brass, and I was wondering if the libraries could work hand in hand together, or if it was too much of an overlap. I watched the walkthrough, and appreciate the difference in sound between the close mics and the DECCA mics. It leaves a lot of room for using our own processing.
 
I want it but it's not a necessity at the moment .I'd rather wait for a sale on the entire brass bundle. Buying the Ensembles on sale and getting the solo brass at the full price will be same current price of the bundle.

I get the feeling they are going to drop the Solo sale on us right after this :/ So do I get it...

Unfortunately, I don't have them so I am unable to compare the two.

Wouldn't be the first time, if not then black Friday at the latest they'll be cheaper again.

Also wondering where that Woodwind Library got to...
Not heard any

Not sure I've even seen them mention it, but damn do I want them to make it, I really really like the way the series sounds (I'm still kicking myself 8 months later for not getting the harps when they were insanely cheap) and it would be wonderful to have that last compliment with the same kind of sound in mind. SSW blend nicely with them and what I'm primarily using at the moment, but a person can dream...

Im wondering if 2.0. turned into 1.2. ???
Last I heard it was gonna be a big upgrade and they acknowledged it was taking them a long time to do it and that is was basically Colin doing all the work for the brass update
 
I´ve got it, but now its gone ...strange ... quickest flash sale ever? Possibly unintentionally. I must have been lucky there. ;)

I won't know until I get home and play with it but I believe Insolidus is more mellow and has mostly arcs. I have Lacrimosa/Empereum choir as well and that does the soft arc thing pretty well itself. So it may be redundant.
 
8dio has a Francesca too? 8 bucks? Is it the same as Soundiron or completely different. Artistic picture makes me feel it's the same person...

Same person, different library though. I think I have both. Not my favorite, but I find 8dios soloists to sound kind of nasally and middle eastern maybe? Listen to the pieces. If this is the sound you want, it's a great deal.
 
Why are all the various 8Dio sales being crammed into this thread from May? The thread title "8Dio Is Actually Having A Sale" doesn't help anyone if it doesn't explain what the current sale is. And 8Dio has different "flash" sales every week.

Is there no rule that post titles in this forum require specific details of the sale, and that posts should be current?
Nope! You can start a new one if you want. Not worth getting specific since the sale items change so much. They have a large catalog of libraries with constant flash sales. This seems to work.
