Dear Orchestral Tools People,
Is this going to be a Continuata experience?
.
Uninstalled, yes xDSo am I reading right that the library takes up 300 MB?
This has got to be one of the best posts I've ever read on these forums. Some incredibly solid points here, and what you said about the brutal critcism is straight up commendable. Much love and respect, man.Dear sample friends! I love to read all the comments here! It takes me back in the day when I started to buy gear... please let me indulge you... So, things were way more expensive in the early 80’s. To buy a decent synth or sampler you needed at least 3000$ or more... So I would go from music shop to music shop... Internet was not a thing and hardware synth or sampler you could NOT download from your couch! Also every shop was or was not a dealer for a specific synth! One music store was a Yahama dealer eg dx7... others were Roland dealers eg Juno 106 or JP8... Others did Korg... Others did Kawai and so forth.... My super hard earned dollars were burning in my wallet! But what to buy? You collected brochures... went to live shows and talked to keyboards players... go to industry shows like Namm... or equivalents in the rest of the world... One box offered this But not That? Others offered That but not This? Aaaaggghhhh WHAT TO DO???
I went through this for years and years!
Let’s appreciate a few new things here for all of us before we buy anything;
WE HAVE INTERNET!!!!
We can listen to high quality demo’s
We can watch the plugin in action
We can watch tutorials
We can join forums to discuss
We can read online the features
We can enjoy how much cheaper everything is
Ok, those are the benefits now compared to 83
But!!!! The money you’re about to spend is your hard earned money! You made it on your own and your about to spend it on something!
You deserve the highest honor if you do so on any library! That company should really acknowledge your loyalty for doing so.
They should deliver top notch products with no failures. Or at least fantastic customer service! And keep you informed on updates.
In 82 the scrutiny on hardware synths and samplers were insane... Once you roll out it better be fucking perfect because there is no online firmware or software update...
In 2019 people tend to roll out stuff that shouldn’t be released in the first place...
Sure, let’s take all our first buyers as guinny pigs or beta testers and lets see from there.... that’s NOT the way forward
Long story short;
I admire the brutal criticism on this forum! Hell yeah! Its your hard earned hundreds of dollars! I would be too!
I also admire the love of fans from the start! It’s your hundreds of dollars too!
All I can say is that I put all the energy I had to make this a stellar library for you guys!
I am a solid guy. The OT guys are rock solid guys.
We want to make you kings of brass writing! Kings of brass production!
We will be there with you all the time to improve our product! We listen to what say to make things better!
I’ve been interactive from the start to get your guys input and a lot of it is in here.
For starters join me coming monday 8am pst for a youtube live on my channel...
Ask any question and I will answer it with the whole library loaded for playback and show casing!
Whether you bitch or you love... to me you’re all the same! You’re passionate music lovers programmers composers! And your opinion matters!
But please... lets be happy its 2019 and not 1982!!
Big hug to you all!
Xxx

Any chance you could extend the promo price a few days or a week for those of us who are on the fence and wanting to see a few reviews?

Not very likely. I would be very surprised if they did that.
its definitely already fairly priced for what you’re getting, but for me personally it would only be a purchase at the promo price and being able to see a review or two would really help influence that. It sounds incredible so far.@OrchestralTools @Real JXL I would love for this to happen...
+1 on this, obviouslyAny chance you could extend the promo price a few days or a week for those of us who are on the fence and wanting to see a few reviews?

How much of an overlap do you think JXLB is if you already have one or more of the following titles:: Berlin Brass, Cinematic Studio Brass, Infinite Brass, BBCSO, Caspian, HWB, Century Brass.
Please objective comments only....let´s discuss the positive aspects of our current libs compared to what we heard of JB, I think this could prove useful in the final stretch of the preorder campaign.
After the new video of hearing all the patches today, i went and compared it with spitfire symphonic brass, metropolis arks and CSB (with no post processing)How much of an overlap do you think JXLB is if you already have one or more of the following titles:: Berlin Brass, Cinematic Studio Brass, Infinite Brass, BBCSO, Caspian, HWB, Century Brass.
