Yes… and I found I prefer the warmer tones of the Vintage D.

I produced the Sonespheres line of libraries there to be transparent, but there are lots of great libraries outside of those as well obviously.
And wonderful libraries they are, Blake. I purchased all of them.

Re: Sequoia ready?

Why do you care at all? My music computer is not being used for anything else and I go with the policy of only updating it when a critical part of my infrastructure requires an update. So I pretty much only update when Apple's Logic raises the minimum deployment version bar. Well, while that ...

Re: VILabs / Modern D

In spite of its few flaws, and the fact that I am guessing most others will have dissenting opinions :) , my vote goes to...the Vintage D. I find it warmer and more soothing, especially in the lower registers, and certainly better suited, for example, for ballads or 'Midnight Jazz'. I would hazard a ...

Re: Sequoia ready?

I've installed Sequoia on my office computer and so far so good with all programs. But I've also read 'suggestions' from some music companies to avoid updating for now, so my studio Mac is still on Sonoma. But you asked about audio interfaces. It appears my UAD Apollo Twin X is now compatible as ...

Re: NI Kontakt 8 and Komplete 15 - RELEASED

there’s few features added in K8 that I care about, only speed and reliability, is there an argument to be made for deleting K7, and using the free K8 player for compatible libraries while using K6, which is faster than K7, for the others? Deleting K7 or any previous version would of course be up e ...

I’m not seeing the standalone version of Kontakt 8 in my Mac Applications folder this time. I installed K8 twice, but it still doesn’t show up, unlike all previous versions. Strange. Very odd indeed - fine here on 13.5. It sits in the Native Instruments applications subfolder. NI replied that this h ...

Re: Insanity Samples - The Stein

Gymnopedie No. 1 definitely created my interest to look into this. Can’t say I like the reverberation added to many of these demos, but perhaps it’s just a matter of taste. Do hope it’s not part of the library and has indeed been added. Will listen further once I’m back in my studio.

Re: Steinberg 50% off sale

Yes, loyalty rebates on My Steinberg for full versions, not the upgrade path like Larry appears to want. He mentioned no longer seeing a $99 upgrade, but from here that is still available to him on the main Steinberg web site.

I’m seeing a price of $144.50 CAN for an update from your version, Larry, but yes, the update path is still there for you. Since your dollar is higher than ours, the price for you may very well be ca. $99 US.

Re: Steinberg 50% off sale

I’m not the least bit sad about the collapse of Finale.. It’s just been dying a slow death for a few years now. Some original features have gone missing and I think the coding is perhaps too old for modern systems. Support was hit and miss for quite some time as well. Looking forward to the switch to ...
