    I'm not saying which one's the best, I just love the German Steinway because I got to listen to it more than the "ye olde" Yamaha Grand that I was used to compose with on FL

    After reading the latest NFO ... For a moment I was thinking that the German-based orchestral tools' sine player is coming with its huge libraries .
    Anyway, prepare your SSDs...

    This has appeared on the sister site before, so no gong? What do you think?

    I was hoping that I could've been something related to BBC SO Pro for how gigantic it is for an Orchestral Library (albeit it is just a slightly extended version of Core with a humongous amounts of mic positions so kinda bloated), but it there ever was a crack to the Spitfire Player plugin, I will still be waiting just for some more juicy exclusive libraries

    SPITFIRE is British while the NFO hint was written in German what leads to Orchestral Tools... or maybe VSL? but let's wait for the Black Friday and see...

    By the way, Spitfire Audio’s BBC Symphony Orchestra has long been cracked, along with many of Spitfire Audio’s proprietary plug-in products. These cracks were made by Chinese users, since they require massive storage space and huge network bandwidth to upload. Because connecting to the international internet from China requires a VPN and makes uploading very costly, no one has uploaded them so far.

    I quit using Ivory more than a decade ago. Horrible mic positions and room tones. No recorded release and staccato samples. There really isn’t anything Ivory does these days that others don’t do better. VSL Synchron libs are the best for Classical/Hollywood stuff. VIlabs for pop. Add noises from Pianoteq & you pretty much can’t do any better unless you’re looking for very bespoke stuff like those Kontakt libraries where they light a piano on fire & put marbles on the soundboard kinda crap….

    So the iLok´s are coming...
    This good because most of the iLok stripped stuff work on Windows ARM, since there´s no iLok support for WArm(even though they promised 2 years ago)
    Maybe I now get to use some of my legit iLok stuff on Arm

    I do consider that was an explanation for why the Pro version hasn't shown up, but for something as light as BBC SO Core (which is only 27 GB) still yet being seen or revealed on any big plugin sites is rather weird, while there are considerably much larger plugin packs/plugins collection available

    You have to be kidding me. No UAD???? Who wants synthogy??? Pianoteq 9 is already cracked and has unlimited velocity layers and infinite customization and licensed piano models. I really hope synthogy wasnt the gong.

    2025 R2R's GONG is-----------
    [​IMG]


    An exhausted witch after the Weekend-Shibuya-Halloween-Cosplay-Party says,

    * iLok License Manager isn't required to run.
    * Has better performance than legit version.


    More fun with our release :

    * Our release supports decrypted libraries.
    * Our release allows you to decrypt the legit library with your iLok license.
    After the decryption, you can share the library to the world.

    Sacrifice the Ivory libraries to welcome the Black Friday.

    Es kostet viel Geld, alles zu erwerben..................

    Dieses Damonentier ist................. riesig....................

    The german in the NFO translates as...
    "It costs a lot of money to acquire everything..................
    This demon creature is................. huge."

    Something big is on the horizon.

    I think a lot of of had delusions of grandeur…. It’s cool I guess. I just don’t use Synthogy keys anymore now that I’ve been spoiled with Synchron and VILabs pianos.

    What they released is the Pro version, with a file size of 600GB — it's enormous.

    No no, I understand that, the Pro version is ~630GB, I was just wondering about why the Core version (~27 GB) is not out there if Pro takes too much effort for transfer, especially when the Core version offers nearly the same amount of quality for it's size, and just lack a boat load of mic positions, a few extra instruments and articulations

    So the gong is actually cancelled, still to be dropped soon or was that the gong? I'm lowkey confused lmao

    If that's the case, then did the Chinese crack other stuff that are seemingly not cracked yet?
