Unbelievable... in the last few days (on the sister site) there has been a slough of Omnisphere patch/preset libraries from unknown "sound designers" that have websites with no demo's.

Now, all of them seem shady to me now, because of that. I think they are purposely not providing demo's or Soundcloud links because the presets are just re-packaged presets from established sound designers. Just my suspicion...

Why would they omit a demo??
Why would we (the consumer) be expected to pay money for something we can't hear first!!!???

Anyway... it's just my thought/opinion. I have no real evidence but I was still inclined to email those "sound designers" and I let them know how stupid they were for not providing evidence of their product or that it even exists.

 

there was a fire sale on them

I had most of them a month ago but I think they are crap

nothing special ..presets that you could make your self in a few sec

would not call them sound designers...repackers

 

May I suggest
"Dear so-called sound designer! While perusing my favorite warez website for Omnisphere patches to pirate, I chanced upon your so-called work: patches I strongly suspect to be derivative (if not outright repacks) of existent patch banks by decent, established sound designers.
The thought of you exploiting the work of others, without recompense or consent, fills me with indignation and righteous fury!"

 

I was thinking the same thing also i think it takes more money to upload audio directly to your website. Which means they would have to make a social account just for demos. You definitely have to give credit to DrumVault for always providing demos

 

Don't know or care except thanks for the posts. I can always use more patches.

 

i have yet to find any decent omni library out of the dozen that i paid for(dumbass) so I dont even bother

 

Who cares, Grab them or don't.
I'm just happy someone took the time to post these

I'm happy to to add more to my collection.

 

At a certain point it may be too much, but i like omnisphere libraries because they usually revolve around a certain genre. The ones at drumvault are always right for me, for example the echo falls bank ive used alot for the music i create which is hiphop/rnb and i dont like to go through crazy amounts of presets. I noticed though that alot of the presets from publishers may actually just be layered patches or patches with just a few changes.

 

old junkware. nothing to see here folks.

 

That has to be the most stupid excuse I've ever heard. The fact that you condone it has made me lose even more respect for you.

Everything in life... that is worth a shit, takes time AND hard work to accomplish. The reward is the success ($$) you reap from your hard work. Being a lazy piece of garbage doesn't entitle you to shit.
That's why I wouldn't even fathom spending a nickel on a business that doesn't put forth the effort. "Show me how good your presets are!!"
If you don't want to spend a day assembling a playlist of demo's (that your friends made for you) on Soundcloud to sell YOUR shit, then fuck you and your stupid fake "business".
Because there are plenty of other companies that care enough and are proud enough, to show off their designs. It's those companies that I will spend my money on. Even so, you still never know what you're getting until you have the entire thing in front of you.

But to think that a person has to spend the time to install these libraries (manually) just to demo them, then uninstall them because they were shit to begin with, just wreaks with a big "fuck you" from me!! It's not like I NEED another O2 library anyway... that's why it behooves these imbeciles to invest in themselves if they want to make money... NOBODY really needs another O2 developer/library when there are so many good ones already on the sister site over the last 2 years.

Aside from that... not many will best Matt Bowdler (The Unfinished), Søren Hybel (Luftrum) and John Lehmkuhl (PlugIn Guru) but many will surely steal their presets and repack them for sale... without a demo. I also buy all my presets now from the above-mentioned sound designers because they are worth EVERY penny spent on their work.

Have a nice weekend...

 

Wow... to blame a synth's incredible contributions (mentioned in another post) by amazing sound designers for your poor buying decisions is sheer ignorance. Either that, or you have no clue what you're doing and working with.

 

its Young Thug bro' ...best sound designer in da worldz ...he makes riddimtrapcrap! best of the cream of the best! dope MAD FAT beatz and soundz ... you only need his soundz and youre a alien vip star! ...sorry i meant OFFICIAL vip star

 

IDK but the Academy.FM posts drive me crazy.

 

that may be true, but none of those libraries that were uploaded in the past few days are cheap. $40 for a set of presets that you have no idea what they sound like? that's ridiculous. and not one of them included any new sample material. all were based on the factory sample library. as a comparison, all of pluginguru's 14 preset libraries that rely on the factory sounds cost only $35 and there are numerous audio demos to listen to for every one of the 14.

 

I disagree. Many programmers like Matt Bowdler, John Lemkhul, Simon Stockhausen, Midissonance, Plughugger, Triple spiral audio, Ilio and some other less known have absolutely top notch librairies that are worth a purchase. Presets inspire songs. So the more the better. Especially if they are indeed inspiring...

Yes they are almost all junk. I cannot fathom anyone buying this crap for 40$ a piece...seriously...

 

I think all began with the new "trap" producers that are flooding youtube with tutorials, 99% of them are using Omnisphere and Electra ( you'll see more electra2 presets coming ). There is a YT channel ( Internet Money ) that host trap bedroom producers that have made it to the top chart and they are creating presets and samplepacks like crazy. ( Nick Mira, Taz Taylor, KC Supreme, WavSupply.net ) Etc

I'm pretty sure they don't upload demo's and they won't because they don't need to. They have created a movement among younger producers that will buy anything they post. IT's like all Cymatics/Academy.fm tutorials and samplepacks they are all freaking everywhere because they found the right market to be in. Plus, they have a good amount of followers/ but at least they hire good producers to make demo's that will make you want to buy their stuff.

I guess that's what it is, just my two cents on this one.
