Also, Rogue Amoeba SoundSource and Goodhertz CanOpener. Indispensable utilities for me.

Re: Using choir libraries

Admittedly, I don’t use choir libraries an awful lot, but I wrote a demo for Dominus called “Harbor” and it’s still my favorite choir library to date, especially for those lush close harmonies a la Lauridsen, Durufle, Whitacre, etc.

Voces 8 (this is pretty unique for a small vocal ensemble and works great)
Sorry for the complete derail, but I've just seen voces8 this week, and was fortunate enough to meet with them after. VERY talented and lovely group of humans.

Trying on Monterey-same version/same size.
WinZip won’t open it.
Any particular reason you aren't using the default macOS Archive Utility app to open zip files? I downloaded Musio today for a trial and it opened right up (on Ventura 13.6.4).

Re: Are You Waiting for something Interesting to show up in Dec. ?

I'd love a sale on u-he Diva. Anyone know what the usual low end pricing is for that one when on sale? Looks like standard is $179 Unless they do another NI-related sale, the best bet is to look out for the annual coupon that usually appears this time of year. You have to fill in a questionnaire. T...

Re: Black Friday 2022 deals of note

I've got a solid case of sample anhedonia, probably due to an absolute embarrassment of riches on multiple drives, so nothing tempted me in that regard.

But, I did snag UAD Capitol Chambers for $49, so that's a win!

Re: Impact Soundworks Orchestral Bundle 87% off

Actually Linos you might have just sold me - most of the percussion I have works best in an ambient context, if I lean on the close mics typically it thins out too much. Listening to the demos I think this library will work well in drier contexts. This sounds really good to me, I like the xylo and ...

I guess I'm the only one who still likes kontakt. I don't want to learn a new player for every developer. Haha. I think spitfires long game is to become like native instruments. Makes sense from an investor's standpoint as an additional revenue stream and they've already shown a willingness to work ...

Re: Black Friday 2018

For what it's worth, I bought the Oboe and did NOT receive the piano. My account shows $900+ dollars spent with 8dio. Honestly, I only bought it for potential piano freebie, and was willing to take the $8 risk. I've got a message into support just to get definitive info, but I'm fine either way. YMMV.
