Scriabin rocks Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 (edited) No, I do not use Kontakt anymore since NI turned into such a mess. I used to have Komplete und used Kontakt from day one, but since I restarted music again with the M2, I stayed away from Kontakt, loosing a couple of libraries I liked a lot, but hey, a life without Kontakt and NI bloatware is possible. 😆 The Library is from Orchestral Tools and they have their own free sample player called SINE. https://www.orchestraltools.com/store/collections/drones Edited March 17 by Scriabin rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scriabin rocks Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 (edited) Two cellos, two double basses, eight trombones, a four‑piece bass choir, vintage electric and acoustic guitars, four‑ and six‑string basses, two hurdy‑gurdys, an Indian tambura, didgeridoo, and a grand piano played with an Ebow, recorded at Teldex Scoring Stage and Silent Green, with many mic positions up to surround at your fingertips, plus the original unprocessed material. This was Drones when it was released about a year ago, 362 GB. Then there was this additional material in the latest release. That being said, yes, I agree it is massive. Some sample recordings hit the one minute mark, which explains the enormous size to a degree. I find it delicious and most useful, given that the ingredients are included as well. I remember well last year in December, when I considered my first sample library, when I realized the size, my download speed, and additional cost for a fast 4TB SSD... *jawdrop* The gazillion of files took over two weeks with many overnighters to download. So every morning when I checked the download... 🫣 ooh, really? Still 56% left to download... sigh...🤣 Edited March 19 by Scriabin rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wouldn't be? 🥹 Edited March 19 by Atlas007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scriabin rocks Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Well, that two weeks download was 1.4 TB. Now the 4TB drive is already half full, but there is a solution which should last me for a little while longer. https://www.superwarehouse.com/nimbus-data-eddct100.html Only the w/r speed does not satisfy my wishes, hence I shall pass on that one.🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
