Okay listen to this, I was part of the cymatics group on Facebook and made a comment about the rokit5's being garbage. Just my opinion, and you know as well as I that they are.
Drew (one of the proprietors of the company) talked shit and then banned me from the group. He said something like "Why so salty, Why are you even a part of the group?" Only, because you made me join it in one of your never ending relentless sales campaigns. Just like everyone else in the group, baiting us with free stuff that's already in the packs that you sell. And probably stole from another producer in the first place. (give away the stuff you steal so you dont owe anybody) I dont join any groups on facebook. You tricked all of us in to the group somehow.
I already know how a majority of us feel about them and their relentless guerilla style sales tactics. This guy just rubbed me the wrong way and really pissed me off. All of their stuff is already available for free as we know, I'm just going to spread it around a little more than usual. Honestly there's really nothing special about them or their company, seems like theyre more about quantity than quality. Antidote Audio has less but better quality, Id much rather give them my money.
Cymatics just spams the hell out of your social media saying whatever they have to, to make you think that this is the greatest pack ever even better than the last one that they said was the greatest pack ever until you have to ignore them because of the non stop spamming and notifications.
They know the right keywords to keep the kiddies hooked. They try to portray themselves like theyre this huge conglomerate of a company but then pull some teenage girl antics just like the fans of their music. I say fvck cymatics they pissed off the wrong guy now.

Have I missed something on this occurring with 8Dio?

 

Bad business, refused to refund customers, fraudulent sales. So now all their libraries are getting shared for free. Like cymatics warez

 

Hey man, I know how easy it is to want to destroy a company after they dismiss you, especially if you're a paying customer. But honestly, I wouldn't waste my time. If they're running their business as you say they are, they don't have much time left anyway, so why not spend that time working on some music or volunteering or fuck it just rub one out and call it a day. Don't let those fuckers get to you.

Good Idea, I'll dedicate the next track to them. Wont be the first time......

 

Fraudulent sales? Wow. Not good for a company's rep.

 

8dio...
Horror stories i have read about the way they treat their costumers.

 

Lol you're going to sink them on your own... by sharing to a few people in addition to the tens of thousands who use Audioz?

I know it's just a pissed off rant, I'm just tweaking your nose a little. Seriously though. Forget em. Their credibility is already in tatters.

We were all noobs once. I think you know how this works... sooner or later the noobs who buy into Cymatics' marketing will find their way to forums like these, which they will treat like an authority on what is or isn't good until they have the experience to make those decisions on their own. Then they will start to feel funny about using Cymatics. And voila, the problem will solve itself.

 

By the way, you're right, rockit five are shit.

 

cymatics is shit and rokit't 8 is shit too!!!!

 

cymatic's emails really piss me off

 

Oh I already had cymatics pegged for what they are way before I discussed it with anyone. but 8DIO? damn... I had no idea. that's probably also why they split from soundiron/tonehammer? I for 1 do enjoy their choirs. and their orchestral stuff is nice (though I prefer albion)

 

8dio does have some good stuff they have some garbage stuff too. What were they thinking with that dubstep Library. That kind of showed how low they would stoop and tarnished their own name.IMO
The moral of the story is that you have to appreciate and treat the paying customers right, bottom line.

Well, for me the discovery of the year was "singomakers". Their house libraries are top notch. And cymatics "infinity" after any singomakers house stuff feels like a lazy copy. Don't forget about WA Production. It's biggest mystery for me. They're doing totally useless stuff. I mean TOTALLY USELESS. What i supposed to do with that endless packs of crappy kits? 5gb library and i will be lucky if they will put at least 20 one shots in that "pack" . But look at their soundcloud. 1000 comments under every crappy demo. My top 3: Singomakers, Vengeance, Sampletools by CR2.
P.S.
I feel your pain. Don't go mad.

 

So, warez/sharing can be detrimental to a software company, after all? Kinda like how 8Dio explain, while they claim that its ultimate impact is your career and the music industry:

https://8dio.com/2015/01/20/how-to-ruin-your-career-and-bring-down-the-music-industry/

There had formerly been a lot of comments at the bottom of that page; now there is none. Wonder why.

 

Cymatics: The guys behind the Vomit pack for Serum if I'm not mistaken?

 

LOL.
Probably true but unlike Cymatics, 8dio is making some very good quality stuff. I wouldn't say all their libraries compare to Spitfire or Orchestral Tools but some of them are top notch.

 

Listen to him ! ^^
Ignore them.

 

Here are more cases of them stealing samples and ripping off producers and employees as well as their shady business tactics. More reasons why they should be put down

i don't understand what's all the fuss about these sample packs.

first of all, the market is totally flooded by sample packs .. even wanting there's just too much choice, who's got the time to try them all out ?

secondly, what the fuck ... there's a shitload of top songs made with just a Korg M-1 or any modern hardware workstations, later mixed and mastered in studio but the core sound were the usual "boring" bundled sounds ... problem is there was obviously a good musician dealing with those "boring" sounds, no need for Vengeance or 8Dio shit packs.

i just had a look at 8Dio's latest 33GB pack on AudioZ, basically yet another congas/percussion set, sold for a whopping 299$ and they're so full of shit they're claiming their algos are patent pending and "there's no going back from this" ? oh really ? hahaha ...

fact is, you can make very similar drum groove by yourself using any decent drum kit as long as you know the score and you've got some time, i know i was doing similar grooves already in the 80s with a Proteus and some Akai drums !

the only kontakt libraries i'm using are for symphionic choirs, orchestra, and vocals, because i can't do them myself at home.
