Junkie XL Brass?

I had an absolute BLAST writing this cue between yesterday and today. It features almost only libraries I bought at the end of last year (mostly during Black Friday), and which I don't necessarily use as intended, as well as JXL Brass of course! You will hear some "multitonguing" using the short notes, and there is also a small bit with simulated mutes on the trumpets.

Those are my own microphone selection (no JXL/AM mixes) , and I used the fantastic mic merge pressure which reduces drastically the footprint. The whole thing could use some further mixing... but we are already the 5th!

Here is "Anthem for a New Decade". It's quite dark, fast paced, eclectic and diverse, but it also has hope.
@Real JXL @OrchestralTools, I hope you enjoy it!

I've also been getting crashes when launching VEP 7 if there are SINE player instances in the metaframe. The instances start launching but when VEP 7 attempts to launch instances with SINE player the launching process basically gets stuck and VEP 7 locks up and becomes inactive. I have to restart my computer and usually a second attempt launches my template including all SINE player instances.

Interesting, noticed VEP won't disconnect when closing bitwig. I installed the latest Sine player right around the time I updated BW so seems safe to assume it's the the same issue...

No problem here with VEP, but I noticed that the SINE player becomes highly unstable if you have the same samples loaded in more than one instance of the player (for example copying pasting a loaded instance of SINE in Reaper will make the whole thing crash immediately).

Thats interesting, I will forward that to guys from OT.

You don't get a crash if you copy paste a track with a loaded instance? That was on Windows by the way.
But anyway, for me it's not a problem anymore now that I have it all setup in VEP with merged microphones. It's rock solid.

nope.

haven't tested it with vep(I don't have it installed tbh)

This is indeed part of the scenario where i've been experiencing crashes.. I have a few duplicate patches in a "sketching" section of my template that use the same articulations as as my "full orchestra" section of the same template... Seeing that some also don't see purge working as expected I think its safe to assume that the current version of SINE has some memory-related issues.

Yeh I think many of these issues stem from problems with loading/unloading from ram.
 
so Sine player bugs with OT with no answer, 8 dio century v2.0 announced since 1 year... we have to decide to buy 'as it is' ans no waiting for plus...

what hasn't been answered? I'm pretty sure they've acknowledged bugs and gotten a patch out already, with more fixes and updates on the way.


if you want the intro pricing get it, if you want to wait until the new player is more mature, by all means - but framing it as abandonware is a tad ridiculous.
 
you are pretty sure... i have seen several communications for the team for promotions of the sine player (i continue to think that diffuse a kontakt compatible would be secure for everybody) but never that they heard the problems and are concerned, not a timing or pricing affair ('you can save money so don't complain...', 600$ 800$ is a lot of money in the two cases), just showing a presence... maybe you think i am ridiculous (and you answer at their place...) but it doesn't change this feeling and you are right i will maybe finish by buy it (and be less ridiculous ...).

If there's anything I've learned from being part of the software development process, it's that it takes a LOT of time. Consumers expect fixes to things often in completely unrealistic time spans.

ironically I've had next to no time to toy with the software but seems to work without a hitch for me. haven't had a crash since the update using reaper 6.01

but to ne fair, I also haven't loaded like 14+GB of ram in a single instance since then either.
 
I'm not in the same boat yet, since I had to wait with buying this library. I'll be spending more money by the time I can afford to get it, but on the plus side more of the problems will have been fixed.
I'm a lot more bummed out on missing out on the master class by Holkenborg.

they might actually be working rather than looking active. Took them a bit to get back to my email for feedback, also no doubt they probably spent some time with family - I was actually astonished we got the first update so rapidly.

maybe you're new to this kind of stuff, maybe you think OT is some sort of megacorp like McDonald's or something... if previous examples(such as play engine) weren't a realistic baseline, we have the new spitfire player to go off of.

and SF is a MUCH larger company than OT.
 
They are finishing Christstollen and Christmas wine and they’ll be right back in a few days :)
Indeed, OT is far smaller than SF (not even half size), they need time for fixes.
The library has been released only few weeks ago.
I’m really looking forward to using the purge-per-note future update.

So far, no hassle, only minor bugs (LPX here, which seems to be less prone to bugs).
 
While OT might have been quiet here,
I've sent a bug report regarding JXL Brass library during the holiday and they got back to me after the holiday and acknowledged the bug and said it will be added to the to-fix list.
So they are actually responsive.
