Thx! PS to avoid confusion I should add there is a soft synth called "Chimera" which is totally unrelated to that sampler package (the syth is both free and good IMO).

Not this again lol :facepalm: Sorry dp and others but aj is correct. You might make a case for 48khz (albeit a tiny one), but really there is no point recording at a higher sample rate, if even that. Not only does it not buy you anything, it's actually if anything worse sound quality-wise. All it gi...

https://www.native-instruments.com/en/p ... t&t=finder I should have included the link. Thanks, but I don't see it on sale at that link-? In the end Kontakt is king. The others are ok and since basic versions are free it's still an option. ENGINE is software descended from Yellowtools. I don't ...

I should mention a competitive library player called ENGINE. I have a few of their libraries. Not quite as intuitive as Kontakt...... Ouch! Theres a VSTi less intuitive than KontaKt? :shock: :lol: Kidding. A little. Actually after witnessing a demo of how KLI libraries can be used in the latest ver...

Just a couple more things I'll throw out there for anyone who is looking at the options available. It's a actually difficult to find Kontakt for sale on the NI website.If you poke around a bit you'll evetually find it. Any reason you didn't include the link here? (And yes their web site sucks badly...

Just a quick update and PSA: No regrets on getting the Behringer UMC404HD . Yesterday I noticed that after checking a few online sites that Behringer recently had a $30US price increase. Personally, I think they're worth far more than they're asking, but if anyone's on the fence or in the market fo...

Not that hundreds of $ stuff...what cheapos have you tried and how did it work out? PS: not affiliated with pluginboutigue.com, but they often have sales on stuff for as little as a buck, such as these two: Hybrid 3: Nothing amazing IMO, but easily worth a buck if you're in the hunt for a soft synth...

DVS Saxophone I also thought was quite good, although somewhat limited.

Well, the free VST crashed Mixcraft on opening the project I used it in. I loved the timpani roll and used it - everything was fine. Then saved the project. Came back to it later and the project would not open - no error, it just shut down MX. I removed the VST files and tried again and it opened (...

np and I agree with all of your comments (although it never crashed Mixcraft for me). I was also surprised there was no solo cello etc. Yeah "horn" is definitely a French Horn, though IMO it's not that great; Acoustica's is easily better and quite good IMO. IMO, if you're really into doing...

Pushy pushy :wink: Actually though, generally speaking, I think it would be well worthwhile to come out with an 8.2 or even 8.11 with at least a variety of modest tweaks vs going whole-hog on a ton of changes for v9 (those who bought v8 or better getting the free upgrade). Love those armchair QBs eh??
