It feels like it should be incorporated into something with broader capability. It is fun to play with, but I don't use it often.
Doing nothing is only fun when you have something you are supposed to do.

I will probably never use it but Im glad I checked out that offer anyways. I was in need of a 'mastering limiter' and PB happened to have the Sonnox on sale for $29 (and Inflator too). Scored the tool I actually needed and got Backbone to add to my Cubase collection heh.

Backbone is quite powerful, not only for drums. You should reserve an afternoon and give it an extended spin.

I expect to use it a lot to construct drum/effect kits with Impact or Groove Agent or maybe drum racks in Ableton (depending on where I am).
At first I didn’t find a use for it but it would fill a gap in my music/noise I think 🤔
Using: Cubase Pro 15, Reason 13, Tascam US-4x4HR, MODX6, DM12D, LaunchKey 49, Yamaha guitar(Pacifica 612v) and bass (BB234) and some virtual instruments and synths.

Interesting player,especially for free gift from pb,but i am confused about something...
There is 6 files in default library with numbers - 801,802,803..806,807,808 am i missing 804,805 somehow or this is by default???
Kind of strange,could this be my installation error and i miss to copy 804,805 file from another source?
These are inside iso file with content.
Any help?
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

I've got the same content here. 804 and 805 are skipped. Nothing missing I think.

1.8GB (or whatever) holy hell. Thought it was going to be much smaller. At least steinberg's massive files download fast; unlike others like IK Multimedia's files, for example, which usually tale hours for me to download.

I thought it was just an A.I. drum plugin. Pleasantly surprised to find some nice sounds in there.

Did the same thing. Have wanted Oxford Inflator for a while so picked it up with backbone for free. Have hardly touched the Inflator but Backbone is super interesting.

Inflator is so old, but the ”Is is shit?” guys said it is still good. I don’t need/want a mastering limiter or whatever it is (they were not entirely sure 😂). I just use a simple bus limiter to protect my monitors when I am messing around with sound design.
