We had great casualties already... Verta, gone. Piet, gone. Guy, gone. Carles, gone.

You know what really pisses me off... all this havoc caused by one member and we lost headshot for way way way less. Please get rid of Daniel James and bring Sam back.

That's cool! Got it the first time! Hmmm okay... This is getting a bit repetitive repetitive repetitive repetitive You should listen to yourself sometimes. :) What's next? Are you giving us the classic "I pay your salary, respect my authoritah" nonsense too? :rofl: The level of...

@reutunes, looking forward to your thoughts on HZS! I'd prefer a zero-day review, but if Spitfire releases a fix before you finish your video, it would be nice to have a small addendum comparing both states of the library. I appreciate your work and unbiased opinion. You coming here to ask just...

No, an echo chamber is exactly what I meant. What you are referring to is called a hug box. So for the sake of transparency: You spamming the forum and spreading FUD for weeks = the hero this community needs. Me pointing out your questionable behavior = angry and irrational. Paul pointing out...

HA! that doesn't make any sense. No Daniel, you can't blame others for your lack of comprehension. It almost feels like you are trying to spread FUD. Maybe you didn't like that Spitfire stopped giving you NFRs or Paul ignored your attempt to create more controversy. The Jerry Springer Show, VI...

I liked it a lot! As Alexander pointed, not the typical epic stuff we see here and that's a good thing. :thumbsup: What libraries you used? Care to elaborate a bit about your room setup?

I think HZS is a great complement for a more traditional library like Cinematic Studio Strings or similar offerings by Spitfire. I wouldn't start with HZS. Check out EastWest's Composer Cloud.

I believe he was far too kind for wasting his precious time replying to such a douchey comment. Did you read all the stupid insinuations by sazema and desert? When you have two obnoxious members going to a commercial announcement thread to call it a scam, I think everyone involved should line up...

I think it is. Someone commented on youtube that Spitfire changed the video description, so I googled the url as suggested: That's some next level speculation. :rofl:

I get that the ones at the top calling the shots will do anything in their power to screw us, but when you have people like Richard Kraft and a horde of ass kissers working composer advocating in favor of free work and normalizing the practice, you know we are really screwed.

Any word if integrated saving "feature" is coming with 1.5? Please don't tell me we still need iTunes for that...

They feel and play so differently... it's nice to have the option. And they blend really well. I still have the legacy files ready to go in my template for this exact reason.

To be fair, you've asked us to chime in... so how it doesn't matter if it makes sense to him? Isn't it the exact point of this post? I agree with Alexander, the graphic feels all over the place without some basic guidelines. eg. Symphobia can be extremely soft and gentle. So does MA2.

How about Berlin Series, also recorded in situ?

I believe writing is as important as reading. I'm not the best sight reader but my reading skills increased exponentially after I started to write all my music down with those archaic things called pencil and paper.

So you tell EW to fuck off, call them bullshitters, cock suckers, all sort of degrading adjectives and then say you respect them? HA! Come on you can't seriously tell people to fuck off and then play the just kidding I respect you card later... you know you don't have to buy the darn thing...

Ok so I spent some solid hours using Hollywood Choirs and it really felt like a repacked release. Not impressed at all. Symphonic Choirs blew me away back in 2005 but not this one. I'm glad Composer Cloud is a thing, otherwise I'd be feeling really stupid. Time to play the waiting game... your...

Anything Performance Samples!

:sad: Sorry to hear about your wife, please accept my sympathies and I hope you and your family find the strength needed to get through this.

skyy38 is just an angry little man with too much free time on his hands. https://soundcloud.com/skyy38/ I'd be pissed too...

So many great replies here that I wish I wasn't stuck at the studio doing overtime. We all come from different backgrounds, so I'm always willing to see things from a different perspective. Some enlightening posts here - duly noted and appreciated! @ctsai89 I wish I could give you gold or...

I didn't know about the Impact Soundworks percussion, thanks for the tip, love their stuff! :) I agree with you both. I will always be open to new products that can really improve my sound and workflow. Words like "innovative" and "game changer" are overused to a point that they begin to lose...

Some harsh words exchanged here... I guess you were right, @christianhenson , indeed the community went mental.

We're so immersed in this never ending search for the sample library to rule them all, the one that will almost write "fucking amazing orchestral material" by itself, that we fail to realize that such thing only exists in the body of cheeky spam mails. Here's an Emmy-nominated cue done with...

IT'S A PRANK, BRO! Be honest, how many of you wet your pants when you saw an email from your lord and saviour JC Henson only to realize you're nothing but part of a juvenile attempt of marketing? Not feeling so special now, hu? Here's a tissue. HA! Anyway, by the logic of the "chill out...

Gotta say that was on epic landing! From small town farm girl to international airline pilot... this is the story about a girl who dreamed she could fly. Aaaaand scene.

When a dev does what a dev should do - no hype, fair price, true loyalty program, stellar product and support - we are all blown away. That speaks volumes about the way other devs are doing business nowadays... and if you look at similar threads, most of us encourage their bs. After spending...

8Dio Misfit Harmonica sounds really nice and it's 30 bucks or so.

Are we really going this route around here? No need to lecture OP. Last time I checked, this was the classifieds forum and it's none of our business if he wants to save his hard earned money. Good for him! wtf guys...

Mads you have some strong melodic motifs going on here, I didn't find hard at all to lock on to your ideas. Theory can be a great analytical and organization tool which should be used after you already know how to write compelling music. And I think you have what it takes to write memorable and...

We have very similar specs (I have more RAM) and as reported here, my system behaved very erratically working with Cubase alone. I tried every single trick in the book and had some back and forth with Steinberg but we couldn't figure out what was wrong, so I eventually returned to Vepro. It's...

You forgot the Rogue in the last picture. Now THAT is one bad Moog. It's funny that I have a Little Phatty right next to it and the fanboys can barely tell the difference. HA! Something tells me you would love to trade my moms basement for your imaginary room of make-believe synthesizers lol...

Hand shakes, autographs and $3500 later not a single free shirt lol It's just gear, you know? I've had my fair share of Moog synthesizers, all bought dirt cheap of course, I would never pay what they ask today. Most of them are overrated and sound no better than the competition. I had two Model...

This is hilarious! After looking at the journalist's profile, I bet she's actually a fan of The Buggles and doesn't even know it. :rofl: If that turns out to be true, I'm even more excited about the movie.

Sometimes I wish people would forget some of the stuff I had to do to pay the bills HA!

Wooow easy there, put down your pitchfork! I'm lost here, where did you read such absurdity from OP's post? This is not a hate thread, nor he's trying to get people to boycott VSL. He's simply asking for help after having a bad support experience. Maybe sharing the employee's name was a bit...

Nice artwork :grin: The Enigma||Felt Piano pair will sell like hotcakes!

It does sound great, doesn't it? I just hope it plays great too. I have nightmares with the small fortune I spent with 8dio libraries. I'm no lazy programmer, but I'm also no masochist. Adagio strings were one of the greatest regrets I had. They sound great until you try to fit them into the...

Hey Epicurse, great name! You just answered your own question. Having another PC will sure help minimize the strain, and the benefits of having your template loaded all the time is huge if you constantly need to change cues. But if you have enough headroom now, why even bother? There are...

I used to say that I'm in the wrong side of the 50s but screw that... I have accomplished more in the last 5 years than I had in my entire career. In a town crowded with copycats and one hit wonders, I get the call for being myself. I may not know all the latest trends and flashy tricks, yet I'm...

I couldn't agree more. I believe the big question is how proficient, unique and indispensable can you be?

I'd look at a high-efficiency power supply first. Also have a look at MSI ECO series motherboards, they are designed to use less power than a light bulb while retaining performance. If you are considering a custom build, I can vouch for VisionDAW, I'm sure they can build you an eco-friendly DAW.

I've heard both mixes yesterday *blind*, trying to be as unbiased as possible, and thought mix 1 sounded dull, while mix 2 had more clarity, depth and overall creative value. OP, you came here, posted your music and asked for opinions. Living Fossil took the time to listen and give you valid...

music-courses.com and Groove3 tutorials are great!

It took me a few reads to get it lol It's missing a comma :)

wow Waves removed the video due to an overwhelming negative response. Watched it yesterday, some weird phase issues going on. CLA isn't happy right now lol For $12 it's hard to say no... I've just spent that on 2 coffees.

"We will initially release Spitfire Symphonic Strings as a ‘core’ product with everyone’s favourite and most diverse microphone positions C(lose), T(ree), A(mbient). Followed soon after by two expansion packs, #1 Additional Mics & Mixes and #2 ‘Evolutions’." (broken link removed)

Beautiful tribute. I am truly sorry for your loss, I'm sure wherever she is, she's proud of her son!

That's the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while, these people have no idea what they are talking about. Even if you are a preset guy, there over TWELVE THOUSAND sounds to choose. The interface is very intuitive and easy to tweak, so no way "everyone sounds the same with it". No freaking...

I don't think it stops working after the trial period, so it's up to the user to either do the right thing and purchase a license or delete Reaper from his computer.

I switched from Lemur to Metagrid, it works great on my iPad Pro. You can connect up to 4 iPads https://www.metasystem.io

Thank you, that worked for me! I can't believe the solution was so simple. I was about to delete all traces of Kontakt from my system, as suggested by Native Instruments' support, and basically redo a big chunk of my template. What a waste of time that would be.

I was eating a sandwich while listening to this... the most intense sandwich I've ever eaten.

With an added scam chance of 9000.

Well, off to Native Instruments' support I go.

Anyone using Windows 10 Pro can reproduce this issue? * Empty project. * Add ONE Kontakt instrument track. * Disable the track. Issue: Cubase hangs and takes around 10 seconds to disable it!!! :shocked: * Add a second Kontakt instrument and have BOTH tracks enabled. * Now disable ONE track. It...

Updated to 5.6.8 and still the same weird behavior when I have one single track with Kontakt. 10 seconds to disable. It also happens with vepro. I probably didn't notice before because I never have one single Kontakt track on a project. Still it's an odd thing to happen.

Thank you! Just to be crystal clear: empty project with one Kontakt instrument track -- track disable working as intended? May I ask what version of Kontakt you are running?

So I'm giving another shot at instrument tracks. I've came across a really weird behavior with Kontakt, could someone try to reproduce it? * Empty project. * Add ONE Kontakt instrument track. * Disable the track. Issue: Cubase hangs and takes around 10 seconds to disable it!!! :shocked: * Add a...

Unless you are getting the cheesegrater for peanuts, I agree with Wolfie, a new PC build can be very cheap and easily overpower the mac.

Reading this makes me want to try instrument tracks again. Even though I like vepro, I'd like even better to remove the middle man and work directly on Cubase, without aditional tracks or routings. A couple of quick questions: 1) what number you have on the "Multiprocessor support" option...

Dude that was awesome. Hooray for humans!

Oh yes, I was talking about functionality, not the educational nature of the video. I learned a lot more from yours, that's for sure! :) What you have accomplished with this app is astonishing. As user friendly as Metagrid seems to be, I bet it took you a lot of time and headbanging on the wall...

And what's the fun in that? Nah just kidding. I agree and humbly admit I may have lit matches instead of throwing water. But I still think ryan was wronged. #leaveRyan99alone

Yes, Lemur is fantastic in the right hands. Check this out: This guy is a freaking genius. @jononotbono also does wonders with Metagrid, an iOS (I think?) app that seems more user friendly than Lemur.

Maybe you have done this already, but it doesn't hurt to ask: did you try to enable your instances one by one, while watching the CPU meter, to see when/what is the choke point? And I mean one by one in all sorts of different combinations... maybe you have one particular library draining all...

HA now that's funny! I found Amper to be as boring and generic as the next toyish Casio arranger keyboard. Orb sounds way more serious. The MIDI thing is a nice feature. I work on some really bad soap operas from time to time and who knows, maybe I'll let Orb do all the labor while I enjoy the...

How long are your save times with this sort of project?

Dirk, I'm a bit confused :shocked: Did you mean "Using RACK instruments could be..." and then "TRACK instruments is way better" ? Or the other way around? You could instead use expression maps for keyswitchable libraries: And for articulation-per-patch libraries, you can create custom...

I was actually surprised to hear Hexachord's (broken link removed). If it's 100% AI, then it created some nice melodies here and there. AI music usually sounds like diarrhea to my ears. I see this appealing to a lot of cheap indie game developers. And by cheap I mean those 14yo buggers who...

I actually sold my license but based on my fiddling with The Orchestra, I think you could go with Albion ONE and Tundra to have a broader range of sounds. TO for epic, Tundra for intimate and ONE for everything else.

Any particular reason you don't use vepro? I had a slave setup almost exclusively for Play, but I just bought a new "monster" computer (7900X, 128GB ram) and decided to go full OT-Spitfire, so the slaves are gone. I thought I could throw anything at it and tried something similar to your setup...

Is this similar to what Tom Holkenborg use?

+1 I use Blacksmith and Fat Sticks all the time.

Oh look, the thread just got restored with a reasonable explanation. You can all put your torches and pitchforks down. Talk about overreacting, jeez.

Press F4 and look under Studio tab.

Until just recent I was still using a Mac Pro 2008 as slave and it was rock solid with vep6 and Logic.

There's no such thing, I think you are mistaking Gbps (gigaBIT per second) with GBps (gigaBYTE per second). SATA II and III are 3Gb/s (3 gigabits per second = 375MB/s) and 6Gb/s (6 gigabits per second = 750MB/s) respectively. It's just to mess your head into thinking it's faster than actually is.

That's because your Mac Pro 5,1 has SATA II ports. SATA II = 300MB/s. 850 Evo read speed is up to 540MB/s. You are correct. To take full advantage of advertised speeds, you need SATA III. Whoever said the speed of a 850 Pro or Evo is way below than SATA II is absolutely wrong.

Please, that's just bad advice. SATA II will bottleneck: SATA II (revision 2.x) interface, formally known as SATA 3Gb/s, is a second generation SATA interface running at 3.0 Gb/s. The bandwidth throughput, which is supported by the interface, is up to 300MB/s. SATA III (revision 3.x)...

Listening to the playthrough - thanks Dirk - fast lines sound convincing, this one will go straight to my template. $49 is a steal to be honest. LR is definitely reversed, that's on purpose?

You are correct. I had a slave for EastWest Hollywood but that's a goner since I went full OT and Spitfire. I also tried using Kontakt straight into Cubase for a while and disable instruments but my system became very unstable and sluggish. Trying to navigate a 1500 tracks template became a...

Ok, I've just listened to Conor Oberst and Sufjan Stevens, pretty cool stuff. I can see where you are going for. If you own Komplete Ultimate, you are already covered with all the bread and butter sounds. Get Omnisphere, which has thousands of useful sounds for this sort of music. You can create...

I had The Orchestra for a few days and meticulously tested it. If you don't own other ensemble libraries like Albion, Masse or Symphobia and need top quality instruments, look elsewhere. The Orchestra feels sterile compared to the competition. Orchestral Tools' Inspire - based on the Berlin...

You are welcome. ;)

Two words: Nick Phoenix. Something tells me you are going to like this. A lot. :whistling:

No drop, no joy. Better luck next time. You almost convinced me when you pulled the parrot card. Almost.

Why don't you test it yourself and report back? :thumbsup: I agree 600GB is a lot of valuable space to be wasted like that.

If you set and forget, fine, but realistically speaking, we need to update and switch libraries from time to time. I've done extensive tests on my 950 pro and the performance dropped when full to the brim. Notice it was used in the exact conditions OP asked: "occasionally adding or removing an...

Performance goes down if it's completely filled up. Here's an example where you can click on buttons to switch between the different graphs. It's a good recommendation to leave something like 10% of drive space free to minimize the risk of accidentally filling the drive to capacity. While...

Cubase 9, Windows 10, single machine.

How do you fine folks hook up your VEPro instances? a) One* instance for each section: ww, brass, perc, str, synth, extras b) One instance per developer c) One instance per library (e.g. 1 - Berlin Strings, 2- BWW, 3 - Spitfire SSS) d) Anything goes-mixed libraries per instance until output cap...

Yes, he was very happy. I got buyer's remorse after fiddling for a few days and realizing it's just not for me.

No, I paid full price. Enjoy your new library!

SOLD! Thank you.

So how are you guys liking the library so far? Any real world examples? I'm particularly curious to know how it blends with OT.
