Is it just me, or is watching the soundpaint tutorials/walk-throughs, annoyingly painful?

it's not just you, I bolted.
also my bullshit detector pings into the red like crazy with some of their claims

Like watching Soundpaint dry?

I think Soundpaint is promising, I downloaded some of the free packs, but at the moment very it's limited compared to what you can do with Kontakt with scripting and more advanced graphics etc. It does however have a nice resizable and clear GUI, something Kontakt still needs to fully implement (although they are getting there, very gradually)

This might be the right thread to ask a question that I can't find an answer to: What even is Soundpaint? I visited the website and read the cryptic announcements/spam that was posted on KVR in the build up to the launch, but not one single bit of copy actually goes to the trouble of telling you what it actually is. It's all just empty nonsense hype with no substance.

At some point I even tried installing it and it didn't work, so I'm none the wiser. The error message and information on the website about the error was about as useful as their marketing copy.

for my own safety i won't elaborate , but you can google "8dio adachi" if you are curious and read about it on another forum (8dio = soundpaint) (check very first or very last post of that thread)

Sheesh.

So much drama! I stopped reading after a paragraph.

Soundpaint? Nice try, but no thanks. More dependencies for at best mediocre samples? Why would anyone need or want that?

After having to deal with NI dropping support for old products i also wouldn't want to go into the next disaster waiting to happen regarding long term reliability. No need for more headaches.
