Sonuscore offers 5 libraries for 9.90€ until March 28:
https://sonuscore.com/magic-spring-donation-special/

Seems ridiculous that they're counting two of their free libraries in the "5 library" bundle....

Already have Origins vol 2 from their previous sale. Ha pi is mildly interesting, though I already have a lot of harps. Lyrical Cello Phrases---not too keen on phrase libraries, have access to lots of sampled cello phrases. OTOH I see Lyrical Cello Phrases includes a playable legato instrument....

[telecharge]

Yeah, Music Box + Plucked Piano is Vol. 2 of the ORIGINS Vol. I-5 that was offered as last year's Donation Flash Sale Bundle.

Still might be a good deal if the harp and cello phrases are appealing.

This Sonuscore bundle seems like a great deal to me after listening to the cello demos. However , here is where I want to know if I have to install yet another downloader portal to get the products. I ordered a sounds bundle from APD last week only to find I had to install a portal to get them ....I've had enough of these

You'll receive a mail with separate download links. Quite easy and comfortable.

Yes, and you should have direct download links in your account, as well. They do say in their FAQ that "we have to restrict the downloads both in their amount and in the time they can accessed", but don't specify what those restrictions are. You can contact them for new download links, though.

KOMPLETE 13 COLLECTOR’S EDITION + Soniccouture MOONKITS, Output ANALOG STRINGS and Sonokinetic INDIE."

I own Komplete 12 Collector's edition, and I was planning to upgrade to 13 during the summer sale. BUT:
I love the sound of Soniccouture Moonkits and I planned to buy that library at some point anyway. My question is: Shall I upgrade now for £449.00 and get Soniccouture’s Moonkits drum library with this upgrade sale that gives me also Output’s Analog Strings, and Indie from Sonokinetic? Anyone using Output’s Analog Strings, and Indie from Sonokinetic?
Basically I'm lamenting whether they are useful or Analog Strings and Indie would just sit on my hard drive. (I already watched a few reviews but I just can't decide: eg. I'm not really sure how useful is a phrase based library like Indie, how easy it is to integrate those phrases into original compositions.)

I would suggest looking at Best Service and Time+Space for any additional discounts/loyalty points, as they are also offering this deal.

I have Output Analog Strings and it's sounds awesome. Excellent for almost any purpose. Probably the best unconventional strings library out there. Some presets are too dense and have a distinguishable (?) sound, so can be a bit difficult to mix them in a busy arrangement.

Might be a good watch:

Can't say anything about Indie, as I don't have it.

Analog Strings basic idea is good, but unfortunately the implementation, soundwise, is not that good. Sound too synthetic and fx to my taste. I love different classical instrument "special libraries", strage articulations and so on, but the effected instrument must have always its own acoustic sound on the base. I wonder what "analog" in this library means.

No. Direct download.

Bear in mind, the cello phrases don't have tempo mapping and don't even indicate an approximate tempo for the original recording.

Thanks for the info...Yes, I saw the lack of tempo mapping in a tutorial before I purchased but this will still be useful to be because of the legato instrument, additional bundled libraries and the $10 price

I don't think i need MCompare, i have MetricAB. Does anybody know if MCompare works in for example Wavelab? MetricAB doesn't work in Wavelab.

edit: no worries, i'm not gonna buy this.
However if anybody can answer the question about MCompare i'm very interested to know.

I don't know which version of Wavelab you have, but MetricAB plugin works in my Wavelab elements 9.5

Which eq would you buy for under 100€? I ended trial on Q3, I own nova free, neutron2 and ozone elements, which all have and eq, plus eq8 on live and Melda free One. I am tempted by nova GE, waves f6 or Glisseq. What do you think?

This depends on what exactly you need. I think you cannot go wrong with TDR if it fits your needs. The Melda EQ range is what I use. There is a specialized EQ plugin for everything.

Many people recommend FabFilter. I have never tried it, so I cannot comment on their EQ.

There are lots of other options. As I said, it depends on your workflow, special needs, or aesthetic preferences. There are a few technological caveats (cramping, aliasing, pre-ringing ...) which, on the other hand, are addressed by many manufacturers and in some cases do not pose severe practical problems.

[sqigls]

Toneboosters EQ4 is my recommendation.
