March content club - which to choose?

I'm really curious as to why they give away stuff from other companies instead of their own stuff?

Maybe we'll get a free version of Reaper one month.

I'm not complaining :-)

It'll be hard to pick the collection.
I just downloaded the free samples with it's included 64-bit player/synth.
All I can say is that it works.

I'm interested in samples like this as models to try and recreate them using my available synths.

I'm feeling slighty patriotic, these guys are in my front yard, so to speak.

Thanks in advance to Cakewalk, this content club is like having Christmas several times a year.
Just the thing to keep us alive until the spring.

Do we need the AAS player for these?

I'm not complaining either............
Ok, I sort of am.
So far for me the content club has had nothing for me. The strings were nice and did get installed but I already had EWQLSO.
Groove 3 was awesome but I already have a year pass.
It didn't go to waste as I donated to a friend who got some good use from it.
 
Not a loop user and have no idea what I would ever use more synth sound samples for when I don't use the synth's I have. 
I did open Z3TA and Dim-Pro and fiddled around for a while once. Just not my cup of tea.


When they are available send me a PM and the first one I receive can have mine.



Still I'd like to thank Cake for the freebie idea in general. 
Actually a nice gesture.

Hmmm...    I only have the free Swatches set which I haven't user in a while - I'll have to do so as a reminder.  Since Journey seems to keep coming up my decision may have been made a little easier.
 

I'm leaning towards the Cardinals bank myself.

I can see that this offer is good for AAS as I'm already lusting after more of their stuff.

But I still have several thousand sounds to go through that I got with Sonar and off a couple of free websites.

I'm really curious as to why they give away stuff from other companies instead of their own stuff?

Simple: 
1) Because Cakewalk is in business to sell their own stuff. That's how they make money.
2) Because other companies will give Cakewalk free samples to give away so that Sonar users will go buy their stuff.

I never heard of AAS until now so I'm off to go check out their stuff. 

"AAS makes Tassman. A version of it came bundled with SONAR XL. That is why I have Tassman 4 today. " yeah i got the tassman as well on sale at cakes shop, made an instrument a while back http://community.applied-.../view_synth.php?id=444

i got the swatches and the player when i saw this was coming up.  frankly i was amazed in a bad way that a company like aas that makes some neat modelers would have such a bare-bones player.  not a single parameter you can adjust besides volume??? really???  when you look at free players like alchemy and the native-instruments line, they provide lots of parameters you can adjust to the soundbanks they provide for free.  i think it's a bit chintzy.  i guess part of the reason i feel like that regarding aas is that they bundled full versions of strum acoustic, lounge lizard and ultra analog (each costing 99 bucks) with my $60 korg nanopad2.  i'm just kinda going hrm?

Aas also makes lounge lizard which is my go to rhodes and whurley keybord. It also does some very cool other sounds as well and is infinatly tweekable.

so far AAS says the coupon does not exist.

Same here: AAS says the coupon does not exist; clicking on "Redeem" code takes me to Groove 3.

I am getting the string studio!

Ditto - "Coupon Does Not Exist"

the link for AAS on my account page goes to groove3 and the code given is not correct on the AAS site.
