    Rinascimento vs ERA II Medieval Legends

    Obviously I'm biased since I've worked on Era since pretty much day 1, but just in case you missed some of the non-fantasy demos (as in more ''period'' music), here's one:

    Great music of the world nobody knows about

    This Japense composer (Hidekazu Wakabayashi) invented the concept of ''Iceface Scale'' '' The concept of Iceface Tuning is to tune every sharp and flat note in each key 50 cents higher. These highered notes are now quarter tones called "ice notes" in Iceface Tuning. You can use these ice...

    Creating music similiar like dark souls/bloodborne style

    That's a good choice of instruments, and Rhapsody is awesome! You want to have some anvil layered with those too. Remember to think as the ''hits'' as not only one instrument, but the combination of low frecuencies, mid frecuencies and high frecuencies. So if you layer correctly an anvil that...

    I wrote this on my laptop for spring a few years ago (2 I think). Weather was feeling so nice, I miss it now because of the current situation. But well, many others will come! Thank you for listening! As always, if you have any question about the libraries or anything else, feel free to ask!

    Best soft synth(s) for "soundtrack" cyberpunk/cinematic style of sounds/tracks?

    I don't know if you like this kind of ''cyberpunk'' style, but I relied a lot on Air's Vaccum Pro for this track, and it's a synth I like a lot (and goes on sale often at Plugin Boutique). And of course UVI stuff, although I'm obviously biased there :)

    Probably a dead motherboard -- Resolved: definitely RAM

    Sorry to chime in, but my main computer started acting weird lately. I had one long beep and three short ones, which (according to Google) has to do with RAM. I moved the case itself (without opening it) and it hasn't acted weird since... maybe it just needed some love? Lol

    Mixing robotics, androids and the concept of identity (as in -self-) has always been a fascinating topic to me.

    Pretty sure you can, since they're different licenses... but I'm not 100% sure.

    Synchron-ized Special Edition

    I also had some time to test it, it crashed my C10 once with just one instance lol but I hope it was something isolated. Really impressed with the update (and the price point)

    Synchron-ized Special Edition

    Yes, I know, I actually was planning on getting VI Pro and a MIRx pack (Teldex, probably) just half a year ago, but I was really surprised that they implemented that too at that price point, and it's totally customizable (not sure if at the same degree as in VI Pro, but still very customizable)...

    Argh, lucky you, I still couldn't test anything! Looking forward to it!
  40. VgsA

    Synchron-ized Special Edition

    Right?? I don't have it yet, so no idea, sorry! I was also going to buy the MIRx Teldex pack, but with this option... I think I won't need it. But about the lack of soul you're mentioning, I think it's due to the velocity XF as well, like Ben said.
  41. VgsA

    Synchron-ized Special Edition

    Specially when it has that automatic spacing system, right? I'm still not sure if the samples included with Kontakt are the same as VSL SE, are they? Word, I wonder how much they tweaked the samples (they say the re-edited the sample database) and if they set the modwheel for dynamics instead...
  42. VgsA

    Synchron-ized Special Edition

    For as low price as 35EUR, I got this! I already loved VSL SE, and I think this is going to be a blast to have on my laptop for sketching, or even for final stuff when it comes to specific stuff like the woodwinds. I think the price (upgrade) was a joke, so I just got it. Still haven't...

    Orchestral Sample Libraries from Asian Developers

    Ummm so there is a sense of individuality, right? I mean, you can recognize the Japanese music style there, so that makes it special, right? I think I missed something, sorry. Oh, and when you say RPGs, you mean JRPGs, right?

    Orchestral Sample Libraries from Asian Developers

    Maybe it has something to do with the tendency they have to make music that sounds ''retro''. Like in this recent release, Dragon Quest XI: I also spoke in the past to several AAA Japanese composers who think that VIs are not really important. I even got a ''that's not music'' when I showed...

    As with other cello threads, I'm leaving here my official demo for Emotional Cello, I honestly think I wouldn't be able to pull this one off with any other virtual cello. But definitely, different tracks demand different cellos, at least IMO.

    Thanks a lot! I actually didn't know anything about synthwave when I started toying with 80s synths and such, but it's even trendy now it seems. Can't recommend you FM Suite by UVI enough if you like the genre. It has a pretty authentic feel to it, I just love it!

    Convenient, huh? Nope, everything fine there. I had zero issues with my credit card, that much I can assure. Nothing changed, I was just browsing through the settings and I saw ''subscriptions'', I clicked and I saw what they charged last year. This is when I contacted them, more than one...

    Also, while I can also see what you say here, how comes they only raised the price now? Wouldn't it be way more irregular amounts of money? And what do they mean with ''discount off the regular pricing''? It's always the same amount, where is the discount? Something doesn't add up...

    Now, according to them, I broke it. Of course.
  82. VgsA

    Soundcloud Pro Plan, twice the price?

    Beats me. Again, nobody told me that I would pay that amount, since the payment is automatic. As I told them just now, many other services (Netflix and such) operate the same way, and sometimes they change their pricing, but they notify you beforehand so you can make the decision.
