Would it make sense to mark products that allow (or: don´t allow) coupon codes?

Thanks! That's a great idea! I added categories for them in our navigation menu:

Add to cart for 50% off: https://www.jrrshop.com/add-to-cart-for-50-off
Add to cart for 20% off: https://www.jrrshop.com/add-to-cart-for-20-off
Add to cart for 15% off (the Group coupon works on anything in here): https://www.jrrshop.com/add-to-cart-for-15-off
Add to cart for 10% off (the Forum coupon works on anything in here): https://www.jrrshop.com/add-to-cart-10-off
Add to cart for 5% off: https://www.jrrshop.com/add-to-cart-for-5-off

Hi Uncle E. I am not seeing the 10% category on the site navigation menu on the left side, unless I am missing something. The others are there and seem to work okay. Thought you may want to know if you weren’t aware. Or let me know if I need to look elsewhere for it.

Yes, thank you. Link posted before worked, just not in the menu that I could find. See you’re on it, though.

Has anyone bought the new UVI Soul Drums library? If so, any thoughts/recommendations?

Listened the demos - sounds pretty shitty to me. Idea is goood - the implementation less good.
That was disappointment, because I own 9 UVI libraries, incl. a couple of their drum libs, plus 10 effect, and found UVI a quality developer.

Thanks for your opinion. I thought some of the demos sound rather good? Different taste I guess. Covers many different type of drums by the looks of it. Any reason why you dislike the sounds? Too dry?

I read a couple of comments elsewhere about slowness with the preset browsing, so thought to check if anyone has bought it already and if they like it enough and if they are facing any issues using it.

The demos sound really crunchy and edgy. I get why they did that, it sounds like old soul and Motown records, but it's I find it painful to listen to on its own. Modern soul/Neo-Soul recordings don't have those same sharp edges.

Thanks, that's an interesting thought. I think the drums are meant to be 1960s/70s, so maybe that's the reason. Any example of a modern soul/neo-soul or other similar drum library?

Some of the Soul Drums presets sound like some Toontrack's EZX (and even Addictive Drums 2) to me. So, it is probably a good deal at intro price instead of buying multiple, expensive and specific Toontrack EZXs since it seems to be covering various genres and gives enough tweaking options. I am not into Toontrack stuff, but have owned some EZXs earlier, so thought to mention for others considering buying Toontrack EZXs.

Yes, and it's a great reason. I don't fault them for doing it that way, I just found myself wincing as I was listening to the demos.

Okay, I get it now. Thanks. Btw, I should have recalled this XLN Audio ADpak.

The Soul Drums indeed don't sound polished/modern/clean but are rather more acoustic sounding in a specific (Motown) way.

After some careful consideration I realize I don't need UVI Soul Drums and I am pretty much covered in the drums department with what I have.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will give it a try.

I also bought these great sounding Maschine kits from Yurt Rock recently for a good price. I think there are a couple of Motown inspired kits in there. With some special promo codes floating around, these can be had for even cheaper. I will see if I can find any codes and post them here in case anyone is interested.

Contains separate audio files, so no Maschine hardware/software needed.

@Uncle E:
I bought the Flux channel strip the other day but never received a license for their analyzer (promo atm). Is there a delay bc of Easter or are the ones bought at JRR not eligible (other vendors are ?!?) ?
