SoundIron Iron Packs | #8- custom tuned percussion

Been waiting for this to go on sale. $2.99 was more than I could swing, but $1.99, OK! ;)
 
But what's up with that installer? You have to download and install it, and then all it does is download and unpack a rar. I couldn't tell when it was finished. There was a button that read "Pause", as if something was still happening, but the progress bars sat there at 0%. After awhile I gave up waiting for some kind of "I'm Done" announcement and just copied the files to my sample disk.
 
I'm impressed that they were able to make 10 separate instruments out of just 24 samples. It's because most of the instruments consist of a single sample stretched across the entire keyboard, which actually sounds better than you'd think.
 
These are all warped piano sounds, including a "natural" piano - if you've ever wanted a single-velocity piano that takes very little memory this would fill the need. There's a reverse piano in there that's pretty cool. It may be the only patch I actually find a use for, but you never know.

I guess if you keep adding $1.99 it will eventually add up but I do find a few patches usable.

 
Ask the average Hideaway Sounds customer about this ...

I just can't get worked up over an installer. Unless they want to charge me for it that is.

I never use the installer, I use the manual download method. If you look in the email you'll find the link. Just put the code into the page that opens upand it will email the manual link to you :)

So bit,
 
It's worth $1.99 now????

Hey bit, for the most part I'm using EWQLSO Platinum Plus but I like to use sounds from my Kurzweil K2500XS at times as well as some more synthetic sample libraries(Hideaway Studios, Hollow Sun, Indiginus, etc.). Amazing what we can do nowadays...I can't finance a personal orchestra nor fit them all in my home studio ;)

Yeh, I'd have a full orchestra in here too, but for the lack of space. I'd have to at least knock down a wall and take over the adjacent two garages. I suspect that my wife might object.
 
I have a Kurzweil PC2R but don't use it much anymore. It does have some great string patches, though. I should dust it off and put it back to work again.
 
If you like to blend in synthetic strings from Kontakt libraries, I've got a recommendation for you: Solid State Symphony from Indiginus. It's cheap and gobs of fun.
 

Another Iron Pack has been released. This one's $2.99. Appears to be a subset of their Saz instrument. Demos here. 

It's showing the Box and Screenshot under Sound Iron Pack 2...but there is nothing to say that
it is part of 2...or that it is still available....
 

No,  this is Volume #2.
#1 is over.

They finally have it so that you can buy 1, 2, or 3....good for them...

Yeah, that's the Connect installer, remember you can install directly using the link instead of the auto.
It's a blessing when dealing with large libs, especially if you ever had a disconnect with a 30-40G download after 90% through.
