Noiiz, the first online sample platform with unlimited downloads

[ghettosynth]

To be clear, I'm not either, but that's not my point. .

You lost me

If new stuff will be added from other vendors continously as the site claim, how do you know now what will show up in the future and what you will want of that?

Of course I don't. It's easy to do your own thing, it's not quite so easy to get other people on board and then have to split that subscription price with them. It's also not as easy to create new content at a pace that will not look pale by comparison to your existing library.

The really big point, however, is that the marginal value for new content decreases simply because there is already existing content. This no different than with plugins. There's a reason that I haven't really purchased many new samples since my zero-g group buy, I now have a bunch of samples so I don't really need a lot of new ones. There is a constant stream of free and uber cheap samples coming my way.

It might be a super bargain the first year, it might be a good bargain for another year. I have my doubts. We'll see.

Well, it is probably no secret that they are a heavily pirated developer. Switching from a business model based on selling content to a business model based on selling a service around said content might turn out to be an incredibly smart move.

I know that everybody is currently used to download samples and keep them on their sample drive. Me, too. But that does not have to be that way. I have not downloaded a single track since Spotify came along even though back then I was absolutely sure that this would never happen.

No, I hear you. It's not that I'm opposed to a cloud based solution, I'm, not, I'm just opposed to paying too much for it. I don't download tracks either, other than DJ tracks but that's for a different reason, but I don't pay for any subscriptions either. I tried that for a year and I didn't feel like I got my value out of it, for largely the same reasons that you have here.

I stream all the time from my bandcamp collection and that's how I like to buy music these days. In fact I really want them to setup a "stream randomly from my collection" so I can just listen to the stuff I like for hours.

Looking at the site with interest as I'm in the market for loops at the moment. The only thing is that there is so much there I'm finding it hard to find what it covers and what it doesn't.

So I'm mainly making instrumental stuff around the guitar rather than EDM, is NOIIZ going to be a good deal for me? Or am I better off getting loops from elsewhere? (A lot of the loop content I can see on NOIIZ seems to be of the sort that is designed to cut into single notes and then mixed up - rather than stuff that could be quickly morphed into backing tracks - but it's possible that I've missed a lot as I've barely had time to scratch the surface).

Go to samplephonics to get an idea of the packs they created before,I wouldn't class samplephonics as EDM,its more a broad range of electronic music,but your idea about what EDM is might be different that mine

It is really a ridiculous quantity of loops (and one-shots), it is very unlikely you won't find something usable.

Also it is a one-year sub, and it is not unreasonable to email and ask for (aka "suggest") a sample pack "more like this" or "more like that".

$89 for unlimited Samples for a year? Samplephonics packs too???? I just don't see a downside at all.

It costs $89. That's really quite a bit of money for samples if you don't use them very much. I'm still on the fence on this one.

I use samples a lot. A Maschine Expansion costs $49 a piece, and I own all of them. I spend quite a bit of money on Loopmasters website, and I've already bought a few Samplephonics sample packs. So, from my perspective, it's really a pretty good deal.

Of course. But you asked what was the downside, and that's it, it's a lot of money for samples if you aren't the kind of customer that spends a lot of money on samples. If you spend only a few bucks at a time, you now have to pony up $89 all at once. For some people, that's a downside. That's all.

You guys keep talking about downloading entire sample packs. Isn't the point of a cloud-based solution that you don't have to do that? Ideally if a sample or loop is needed for some idea or other, isn't the idea to be able to search through the giant library of available material to find something good without having to store the entire library locally? I guess that if I go for this then that would be my way of using it.

Yep, if you're going to pay for the subscription year after year, that is correct. Another way to view this, however, is just as a discounted purchase price for whatever you can download from their collection.

Just signed up !...Can you download complete packs or one sound at time?

[paulbreeze]

Sure. You can.

"Noiiz, the first online sample platform with unlimited downloads"

I remember not too long ago there was a website called LoopPort.com that had the same model ...
They offered samples, vst presets, midi, and dedicated sample formats.

I don't see that they're around anymore

Has anyone actually signed up and started using this? From my reading of the site, it allows for unlimited downloads but only through the Noiiz app and it would seem a sound at a time into a project. I don't see anything in the promo material that talks about downloading entire packs. Maybe it is there and I am just missing it. To me what they are selling is the ability to be in the middle of a project, search for a specific sample, then drag and drop into your track. At least that is what it looks like. I have contacted them and asked the question. It says they will get back to me in a few hours. I will let you know what I find out.

I just downloaded 70 packs just straight from the site. The app for windows isn't available yet anyway. Btw there seems to be only one vocal pack, so either they aren't making those available for some reason or there is more content coming.
