Hey, just a quick note to anyone on the fence about where to buy their next GB set.

I've been following this thread for weeks now, and IMHO, you can't get more value than the heart AND art that went into creating these libraries.

I had some Jampoints too when I went in again, but I figured if I get just one song idea, or need that certain element and it's there in the esoundz bonus set(s), that's damn near priceless!
And IK is supporting this big time, so they're loving it too! And to still get Jampoints and epointz for future use?!? It's not like, it IS money in the bank. NICE!!!!

I'm waiting to see what the Squidmaestro comes up with before I redeem, but just think of the price for such inspired work. FREE! Is there a high-pitched, giddy laughter emoticon?

So to anyone at esoundz/SR/IK reading this, please don't think we're not feeling the love, or are going crazy with greed, these sets are great and who WOULDN'T want more! And madness usually IS progressive...

I don't know about everyone else, but the push to 5000 kinda wasted me... And all I had to do was choose! Let's regroup for 8x1, after the last surge I'm starting to think anything is possible!

So thanks again to Zedd, the good Rev, BBQT, Peter, Allen and last but not least Squids for all the help (and incentives!) getting us to this point.

Okay, not so quick note, but it just needed to be said!

It's mind blowing to think that at midnight (Eastern) we had already crossed 5050 users. We're within 950 users of this thing going EIGHT for one.

Squids said earlier we'd probably hear something else in the morning after he goes over things with the rest of the esoundz crew. So if you haven't cashed in your extra download yet, you might want to wait a little longer...

We appreciate it when you support www.esoundz.com But, there is also a good reason for you to get it there. The Raise The Bar offers you MORE for your money. Even if you can use Jam Points with IK which is great but remember that you can also use your Jam Points on something else too. There are going to be new SampleTank libraries coming out and also other products from IK where they'll come in handy where you don't have to sacrifice the extras from esoundz. That's the idea anyway. The value for the money would be in your favor doing it that way. There will be other things you can apply your jam points on.

Great Googly Mooglies!!!

This GB is freakin' insane! I got in early when it was still 3x1 because I thought it was a great deal then and I only needed a couple of sample sets to round out my collection from the last ReTank GB. But things have been really busy lately so I didn't pay much attention until it hit 5x1 (week before last? I'm losin' track...) Next thing I know it's 6x1 and within just a short couple of days it's at 7x1 and I'm still stumped on what to pick for my 6x1 choice!!

You people are crazy! This deal is crazy!! And these SOUNDS are CRAZY!!!

Crazy good, that is...

And torgo - I feel your pain... I've got a couple pieces of shelfware myself but do yourself a favor: save back a couple bucks and get yourself a cheap laptop, a nanokey and maybe even a nanopad. Load that laptop up with some of those shelved goodies and take them with you! That's what I finally did a couple months ago and it's working great so far with my Stealthpedal & Amplitude. I'll be loading up ST and a couple other plug-ins later this weekend.

Soooo... when is this thing gonna hit 8x1? Tuesday, maybe??

Thank you especially BBC and Zedd for the time and energy spent to help the rest of us get goodies for free . I never thought we would be looking at 8x1

Now I am in a dilemma I don't know what to choose I already had difficulty choosing the 5th choice as I have a lot of SR stuff in refills. Looks like I have to add to my loop collection. I don't use too many loops not because I think it is being less creative, I do have lots; It is just cos I lose too much time searching for the right loop that I can get there much faster just using the great SR drums sounds and playing it.
congrats to everyone
Josiah

I think I have you both beat. I got stuff on my shelves that wasn't even opened, then because of another sale or good deal, bought the advanced or upgraded version. I had SS2, but then found a great deal on Total Workstation, so SS2 still sits unopened (but I hope to get it up for sale soon!). I too have been pretty busy, but recently finally been setting up the machine after some time too. I like the laptop idea, but I think I'll go for the Akai keyboard, which is a bit more natural than the NanoKey.

Squids, about the Platinum deal, is there anything that you can do for us that would like to upgrade from RAW Gold?

Thanks for the quote, muddyjoe!
I'd suggest going with something just out of your comfort zone, but still useful. I'm picking up the World Grooves loops after hearing that amazing demo. Same for the Country Folk pack. It's a stretch, but not too far a reach to use them in what I do... I've read some good reviews of the construction kits WAY back on this forum too!

If you think you might EVER need it, get it! At this price, you really can't go wrong!

Hey guys! The thread is still moving nicely. At &X!, it's not hard to be excited! And as I write, we are at 5099 registrations! Amazing!

Absolutely my pleasure guys. I've really enjoyed following this thread and participating in this discussion. I think I have actually become addicted to these GBs... not only because of the amazing products we are getting at such a great deal, but also because of the excitement over each of the day to day developments. Checking in here is like geting a little fix each time.

Good choices! My very first of the loop packs were the Country Grooves and the World Grooves. Unless you only do electronic music, those two are the loop packs that you can probably get the most use out of for a lot of different styles of music.

With this speed 6000 is not to far. Way to go! This 5000 registerations must have been surprise to IK and eSoundz cause group page has not been updated to 7x1

. And still three days left...

It is just primitive instinct. We humans are hunters and collectors after all
(sometimes I wonder if it is such a good thing)
