$99 is the price it should have been at all along!!! (OMG! They priced their shit at $360 to $400!!!)
That's one company that I wouldn't miss AT ALL. Even having tried their libraries from AZ couldn't convince me to use them (for free!!!) much less pay the absolutely ridiculous prices they place on ALL of their product line.
This company has no intention on selling the libraries to anyone but the foolish or the wealthy!!
(I don't get the "Limited Inventory", when they are downloads)

Oh well... wishful thinking on my part.

 

I liked these three particular libraries just for the ambient sounds. I used a handful of their patches in a couple of my tracks. But yeah, their prices are ridiculous. $99 is reasonable. Fuck that $400 nonsense!

 

Their UI's are great.. but.. they tend to over-complicate and try to do tooo much...

and yes.. 400 beans.... I dont think so.

BTW the limited supply bit is because they paid for license from NI.. and you only get so many downloads for the 10K or so it costs...

still they should have mentioned that.

Sad to see such good stuff go away. I have a part to play in it. $400 or $40, I'd prob still wouldn't support because I'm not fond of Kontakt or their libraries. However, that's absolutely no excuse. Who's next is the question.

 

Their UI's (in my opinion of course) are garbage... too much time spent on graphics and they still have shitty sounding libraries...
Thanks for clarifying the NI issue...

 

Their libraries are alright, but so damn expensive.

Is there anything to prevent them from unpacking these and selling them at a lower price as legacy KONTAKT (non-player) libraries in the future?

 

Great, had they not overcluttered them.. is what I meant.

This really must piss the people off that paid 400.

 

Cannot justify the price on any software! i mean its not something you physically own or would leave sitting in your house somewhere
if your pc goes your shit outa luck on all this software, ! i am a Firm Believer of the Warez Community 1000 percent

 

Hopefully, yo do music for free because you can't place a song on your dresser after you make it.

 

I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem like they are closing their business, they're just dropping those three products. They just released Gamelan a month ago, FWIW.

 

That's because you don't have the slightest idea of what you're talking about. On top of a broken moral compass. You can't justify paying for ANY software because 1.You're not smart enough to create it. 2.You don't respect the concept of working enough to recognize someone else's hard work at your disposal. 3.You're an idiot. No. You are. Especially, when it comes to general science, computer science and intellectual property rights. Property in the digital domain is transferred to you as data in binary code to use and you clearly you use it all the time, but it "magically" doesn't exist because you can't hold it in your hand? You are a pure retard. Prime dummy. Get off this site. No get off the internet because it doesn't exist. Don't pay your provider for it cause you can't hold the bitstream. Leave and never come back.

"Try before you Buy" is the motto of the digital underground pioneers, who Robin Hooded for the
starving but hopeful musician/producer, a chance to taste the big leagues and hold them down until they could proudly get a legitimate copy when funds were possible. It is what it is, but even the most shiftless moochers buys some of the stuff he likes now and again. Your justification goes beyond need it's purely callous greed, supported by ignorance. I don't expect you to read a book on the properties of light and physics. Another on computer science and basic coding and another on business basics and fundamentals, and get back to us with an intelligent response. But you should.

Sonic, I agree with much of what you say, OTHER than.. try before you buy.. as. most software has a try before you buy option freely given by the devs.

Unless a particular software doesn't have a trial..which, isn't often..15%??.. then its just a guise to thieve things while espousing something 'someone else said' that sounds good as a fall back rationale.

Quite the flaw in the warez mantra.

I'm sure a small percentage of us actually live by these words... probably a much smaller % than most would like like to admit.. but..really, a good % of us are just thieves... hiding behind... try before you buy

Call me cynical....

and a self confessed thief. (That loves this site.)

...and a dev.

I don't use samples much. I don't pick fights about paying for stuff on an audioz site. Both seems a bit futile to me.

 

i have a couple, morphestra and xosphere which i bought on sale, and i think they are really very good, however, had i payed full price i wouldve been super disappointed, so yes ,they are extreme prices!

 

People are going to do what they do, but the underground's motto isn't some Freudian double speak. It's a practice akin to crop rotation. Let's be clear W/z go FAR BEYOND a 3-5-14 or 30 DAY trial.

Yet, that's not what deserved comment. It was the idea that you NEVER should pay for ANY software, because it's not real! LOL Absurd.
Hit a developer off now and again. It's that simple.

I'm one of those "weirdos" who make their own libraries, so I don't need to buy anyone else'.

By using someone else' sounds you give up your originality, IMO, and by using/making your own sounds you learn loads of things. Downside: you shouldn't be lazy and you should really love doing it, because you need to invest heaps of time and equipment to pull it off, not to mention inspiration.

Like messing with your own crap always feels better than messing with someone else' crap, eh?

Cheers!

I agree with one of the comments regarding the price. They are asking a premium price, similar to Spitfire or Orchestral Tools. The problem is that in their case, the added value is simply not there. It's not enough to have a multi gb library with a somewhat nice GUI, in the end what matters the most is the sound. Not that it sounds bad but it's definitely not sounding like a 400 bucks product. Compare this to Berlin String or Spitfire Mural...

 

It is just end of this three products not sample logic as company

 

Why would you want a company to go out business?"Content Removed"
