I can't believe I've never posted on KVR before - but here goes...

The Samplecast has been up and running for almost a year now. It's a weekly podcast and YouTube show focussing on plugin and sample library news, reviews, discounts, freebies, tips and interviews with composers.

It's a completely independent show, with no backers or advertising. We try to keep things as unbiased as possible and we give coverage to all library developers whether they're big or small. We also pride ourselves on being an irreverent life raft in a sea of oh-so-serious sample library coverage.

The new series has just started, with a holiday roundup, and you can see the YouTube show below. There's lots more information on the site at http://www.thesamplecast.com

I've been working overtime to bring you this week's edition of the show which is as jam-packed as ever. Our composer demo is from Ed Watkins - you can hear him break down his awesome mock-up of a theme from Jurassic Park. There's a full 10 minute chat covering his background, libraries and mixing techniques on the Samplecast podcast. In the main Samplecast show there are two competitions, a review of Heavyocity's one-knob "Punish" plugin and the usual mix of news, bargains and updates.

I'm curious what your favourite Ney sample instrument or library is, since you mention you've heard better?

Finally managed to download a few MP3 files. Looking forward to hearing them later.

I like the Sonokinetic one personally, although there is also one in a big pack I have but i can't remember what it's called. It's got a very ethnic name but I don't recall.

Yeah, from what I have heard it sounds pretty good. Unfortunately they stopped selling it for some reason before I was able to purchase it. I wonder why?

Do you mean the Fayez Saidawi Egyptian Ney from Findasound? I've been eyeing this library off for a while, but haven't decided to pull the trigger.

EDIT: Wait, maybe you mean Breath of Anatolia?
