    Anyone have (or tried) both SA Polaris and Infinite Samples Pangea?

    Yes, I do shop the Native Instruments Black Friday sales every year..but those sales are typically reserved for Orchestral Tools, Project Sam, Audio Imperia, etc. They never really just do a one product type of sale for their Black Friday. So this NKS sale where they have about a hundred...

    Anyone have (or tried) both SA Polaris and Infinite Samples Pangea?

    Currently Pangea is on sale at the Native Instruments website through their NKS sale they have going on. https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/nks-partners/infinite-samples/pangea/ It's the first time I've seen Pangea on sale...so might be worth looking at if you're interested.

    Sample Libraries like Distorted Reality

    The Spectrasonics Distorted Reality sample libraries have been one of my favorites for years. But other than those and Big Fish Audio's Alien Guitars, Pod and Things That Go Bump in the Night, are there any out there that have similar strange processed samples?

    Image to Sound software

    Can anyone recommend any software that converts an image to sound or to a waveform that can be done in Windows? And if not software.. A script? Max? Python? Puredata? I've tried look and can't really find anything that looks promising for windows at least. Thanks Dreamawake

    Hybrid Cello (or string) Sample Library

    I've used 8Dio's Bazantar for a few years now. And although I love the sound, I'm looking for a similar library with a bigger range or with more articulations. So I've come across two libraries that seem interesting - Pulsetter Sounds Cell Ibrida and Wavelet Audio's Ashen Scoring Cello. Does...

    Drum Synthesis

    I have Reaktor..but have only ever used it to play patches and never taken the time to explore what it can do...I'm breaking it back out to see how much of it I can learn to "program". Thanks for the suggestion! Dreamawake

    Drum Synthesis

    I've never really checked out AAS Chromaphone...may give it a try. It looks interesting.

    Drum Synthesis

    Never thought about it that way...good point in regards to them being just regular synths. I'll have to check out the synths I have and see what I can do with them.

    Drum Synthesis

    I've been looking for a VST that can do drum synthesis and came across FXPansion's Tremor. It's been discontinued but still for sale. Has anyone used it and/or like it? Or is there something different or still being developed/maintained that I missed? Would love some suggestions. Thanks...

    Best software synth for learning how to synth

    In the continuing tradition of adding to what we come across here...I found a few videos online posted by Berklee Music about 6 years ago. There are 4 videos total that go through the basic of synthesis and they include a very simple synth to download and follow along. The synth is written in...

    Slicing Sample Loops

    Other than Propellerhead's Recycle, is there any other software that is capable of slicing up a sample loop? I'm aware of Ableton Live's "slice to midi" function but I'm just asking about stand alone software or even a plug in.

    Using Kontakt Sampler as a synth

    Gunther, this sounds great and I'm curious to see how it was done...I downloaded your Kontakt project but I keep getting an error about the .wav file not being able to be found. I went through and read your "read me" file and realized that it's a wav file from the Kontakt 4 library. I have that...

    Over 36 GB of SFX for 85% off

    Best software synth for learning how to synth

    I totally agree that we all learn differently and that some things like Omni2 are powerful and amazing (I own Omnisphere 2 and love it - I just don't understand how to make my own patches or how to program it). And not that those learning tools and powerful options don't matter or aren't...

    Best software synth for learning how to synth

    Being in the same boat as the OP, I too (owning most of the NI synths), recently started looking at moving past the point where I'm using other people's presets and trying to understand how to make and program my own. I've tried to learn on the NI synths and they aren't necessarily intuitive to...

    Anyone here successfully upgraded system drive sata SSD > m.2 yet?

    Chris, What you have for your ASUS mobo is the same as the Addonics add-on that I mentioned before. The reason I had mentioned me using them was because I have found that to even recognize an M.2 PCIe SSD just using an adapter card with an existing PCIe slot didn't always work for me -...

    Anyone here successfully upgraded system drive sata SSD > m.2 yet?

    Chris, Cloning a 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD to a M.2 SSD is a straightforward process..it's just like cloning any other drive..that's not really the issue. The issue you'll face is that when you then try to boot off the M.2 SSD some systems don't recognize it or won't boot from it - hence my...

    Anyone here successfully upgraded system drive sata SSD > m.2 yet?

    Chris, First question is - what are you trying to upgrade? A desktop or a laptop? I'm asking because it is possible but it really depends on what you're trying to do. If your system has an 2.5" SSD in it already, then upgrading to another 2.5" SSD is a piece of cake. If you wanted to...

    Spitfire Audio'S eDNA vs Omnisphere

    Spitfire Audio'S eDNA vs Omnisphere

And with Spitfire's current sale, I'm tempted to get eDNA, but after it's initial release, I haven't heard much of anything on this forum (good or bad) from anyone. My question for those that own both...does eDNA really give you something that is a nice addition...

    It gets hot because it still is on and hasn't fully shut down. There are one of two things causing it to restart - you either have a bluetooth driver that holds it in that state and forces your restart or you have the Intel Rapid Storage Techology drivers/services installed which can also cause...

    Smaller,targeted and reasonably priced Kontakt libraries

    Here's another vote for the Glass Hand Drums from Sonic Zest...and for that matter any of the libraries from Sonic Zest. They're all great little gems and well worth the price. The Pan Drums and Glassworks from Soniccouture. And the Sound Dust Cloud Cello and Cloud Viola

    SteamPunk Instruments

    That's another vote for Camel Audio's Steamworx....it has some incredible sounds for what you're looking to do. You might also want to look at Hollow Sound's Music Laboratory Machines Suite...it has a mix of some very cool sounds that can fit perfectly into a steampunk environment.
