The Sound Board

Whoa, first post in a while! Refreshing to visit the calm wisdom of SoundBoard . Just a small housekeeping favor...the title of this thread may be more clear with "aka LASS 3" removed as MSS is not actually LASS 3, which is a forthcoming, separate product.

The more I hear, I think I'm realizing that what I love about this library is this notion of a "clean but human" sound...like a perfect balance to my ears. There is a subtle fragility to the brass tones in their lower dynamics, for example, that is just beautiful. Also, the thought of MSB combined ...

Excuse the brief tangent, but ooooooh do tell....mind me asking what made it into your template? Berlin?

Every time I see a Sonokinetic sale I get interested, research the offerings, but end up shying away because I'm just not sure how I would use a phrase-based library...More of a workflow ignorance rather than a statement against using phrases in my productions. Anyone care to share how you utilize ...

Ha! Thanks for the inspiration!

Oh! What a great idea, Guy...never even crossed my mind to combine them. I do have a need for some good mid-to-higher frequency percussive stuff so will probably give Colossus II a spin. And currently for $52...even if I find 10 usable patches it's well worth it.

Thanks!

Anyone own both Colussus I and II? From the demos, they sound pretty similar. I know Matt mentioned there are more percussive/rhythmic elements in II, but wondering what users think...

Thanks!

Does not, in any way, shape, or form feel like a major release upgrade. More like v8.5.30. And certainly not worth $99 IMO. Very disappointed!

I too had to call tech support after install. For some reason Cubase did not recognize the VST...simple fix of re-scanning plugins in the Plug-In manager (which I've never had to do before) did the trick.

Wow, too bad it's just one level of Undo...thanks for the heads up!

Not gonna lie. I'm more excited about this than KeyScape.

And then there was that little nugget from Tech Support....hmmm....

Matt, these patches are soooo good! Once again made me ask the question "Omnisphere can do THAT?!" Best set so far, IMO...thanks for your hard work!

All in all, I'm afraid I don't quite share your enthusiasm for 8.5 Tobias. Overall its worth it for such a small upgrade fee for stuff like the drag to repeat, import tracks from sessions, the improved New Track features, but it feels very much like tinkering at the margins while all the new ...

Just bought "Magic A-B" from SampleMagic for $27. Great deal...

Worth taking note, in my opinion, because they sell the very best upright bass, some fabulous sounding drums (ultra-dry, tape-y, mid-70's sound) and plenty of other really good libraries.

Oh my, that upright bass is DELICIOUS...

FREE "Little Alter Boy" from SoundToys! I picked up Little MicroShift as a freebie and it's fantastic...FWIW

Also, noticed Cinematic Strings 2 is on sale Nov. 27 - Dec. 4 for $319 (20% off). Great library, IMHO, especially blended with other string libs.
