I know this library has been out for almost a year now - but I feel like it's pretty underrated. Especially compared to all the evolution and motion libraries Spitfire has released. For my money, Orchestral Tools really hit a home run with this library. It was a bit left-field for them and I...

This is a question to all sample-library devs out there: How difficult is it, to make a living on making sample libraries? I.e. on creating and programming virtual instruments and libraries. For example: How many paid downloads can I expect, if I release a new library? :-) I know, its a quite...
