What's new

Spitfire Audio: The Black Weekend - "Aperture" is back on 23.11.2022

Better than Audio Modeling stuff? You can DM me if you want to avoid derailing the Spitfire Lackluster Black Friday thread :)
That’s a matter of taste, and I’d say in terms of playability they’re on par. I am available for DM but right now I am too tired to say much more on the subject ;)

SWAM is a close second. But the tone of VHorns is unparalleled for me at the moment.

All good, appreciate the short summary regardless
 
In fairness, the spin wheel is much the same thing, except that it doesn’t give an advantage to people willing to get up at 4am and/or constantly checking social media during thanksgiving dinner.

It a very nice, pro-social change, even if the old way might have generate more (borderline obsessive) social media traffic for them :)

Yeah I’m liking this way quite a bit more since it’s so much more convenient, and takes away some of tenseness of an already overwhelming BF season.

If I recall people were often upset when they missed their chance to get a ticket since they went to bed .00036 seconds too early, or complained when there were too many green ticket draws when all they got was a yellow one.
So the wheel is a pretty nice replacement.

The completionist in me wants the aperture library. The part of me that can't handle noise says "you will never use it."

I have the Black Weekend core stuff already, and the pro doesn't interest me. But, darn it! That completionist is fighting hard. Sigh.

I'm interested to know what the total amount of storage you have on your computer.
 
ok.....total....
Okay, just my music computers? 49TB (mix of large HDDs and smaller SSDs) :blush: When I set up the 2nd computer to use VEPro, I moved most of my drives there only to realize using VEPro is a pain in the butt if you are just playing around with sounds. I can't hear anything from the 2nd computer if it is not plugged in through the DAW on the main computer. So I've been duplicating a lot of libraries back to my main computer.

Also, 22 TB are HDDs that I'm slowly moving to SSDs over the last 5 or 6 years. So far, only had one SSD failure, so I have a lot of duplicate libraries that I need to clean out - as in I move them but don't delete off the HDD. I have about 9 TBs currently free on SSDs, but I'm still moving libraries. I just buy an SSD when catch a good sale. LOL!

I'm currently backing up to a server I recently built and we are looking at around 15TB of libraries and samples? You also have to understand I have been collecting libraries for 15+ years, including a lot of cheap and free ones. (Those are on the HDDs)

I can't even fathom what fills these drives. Given you've been doing this for 15+years and you have 49TB, you're collecting libraries at an average rate of ~3.3TB a year? You said you have quite a few duplicates so maybe half that to 1.65TB a year :).
