Yes.

Haha, Pro-Q3 really is the single most used plugin I own. I will definitely be updating to v4 soon.

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.

Thanks, Frank!

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

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).

This has finally moved me from 12 Ultimate after 4 years. Good value for additions at $199.

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 ...

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!

Picked up a samsung evo ssd for $100, the lo-ki piano, sa the ton deal, and updated century strings v2.

will probably upgrade oeksound soothe 2 for $45 also.

I'd buy it in Kontakt format. Maybe that's some market research for them.

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 ...

The new 8dio "custom made" string instruments everwave, circle string, and super string might be made to fit this (chernobyl-y) vibe.

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 ...

Not sure if this falls under Black Friday or not, but today 8dio has the 1928 Emotive Grand/Scoring Piano as a free gift (reg $198) with any purchase over $99 and Liberis Angelic Choir for $79 (reg $498). The Century Strings general black friday sale seems to still be active, so I bought the Century ...

Upgraded from 9 Ultimate this morning for $199. Nice value for 65+ new products!

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.

Insane deal - you get everything from Samples From Mars for $39 (or use code xX$9-AllxX3 to get it for $9 while it lasts!) Crazy!! Thanks for posting this, didn’t know they were having a sale. Good deal if only to get my hands on some Russian synths...! I was just playing around with the Vintage S ...

EDIT: $9 code looks dead now, but still a solid deal for everything at $39.
