....but are the sounds any good? What say you Baps?
I think asking trusted friends who own a library is a wise course of action.......
Hehehehehe.......you said trusted friend....... 
Haha, okay, I'll share the reason why I wrote "trusted" before the word "friends." I'll limit this to a one-off rant.
So, I always disclose when I advise a dev and I'm completely fine with someone discounting my opinion on that dev's libraries due to my affiliation (even when I've just given a dev whose libraries I've fully paid for a couple of hours of free advice; and I've given more than 2 dozen devs advice over the yrs, most of it free; my day gig has been managing/leading digital marketing at big brands and more recently, running my own biz; 99% of the libraries I own were fully paid for), it even makes sense to me. But here's what I've learned over those years, many devs (not KHS or Orange Tree Samples, ftr; the main 2 devs I advise these days) provide influential forum members with NFRs to talk up their libraries. It's been discussed with me from a number of devs over the years and I've gotten to know the names of several members of a popular digital music making related forum who push libraries in exchange for undisclosed NFRs and even post misinformation about competitors (a few years ago, I called out a guy at KVR for posting completely false info on a library in his efforts to promote a library of competitor who I knew had given him an NFR because the dev asked me about the guy specifically and whether or not he thought he should give the guy and NFR; I told him NOT to give the guy and NFR, but if he did, to require the poster to disclose he received an NFR copy when posting about the library; of course, the poster never disclosed the NFR even when I confronted him; he told me doing so would "hurt his credibility"). So, you have folks who move in forums like that and you also have whole forums, like one that starts with a V whose practices are quite similar to those of another forum now deserted known by the initials NS, where honest members are largely unaware of not just the folks with undisclosed NFRs hawking libraries but also an undisclosed practice where developers have to pay a fee to create and post in threads and to get moderation. The result? Someone researching libraries in that environment is unaware of all of these biases and regularly doesn't get an honest and complete view of the various marketplace choices. Even more, in that particular forum me and other devs I have know (including those who pay to play in that environment) regularly see things like people who work with a dev without disclosing their affiliation giving negative reviews of competitor libraries. People unaware of these affiliations and pay to play environment visit that community and without an awareness of the true situation and believe they're getting honest advice from the community (and yes, sometimes you will get honest advice, of course, but years of the forum practices and strong peer pressure from influential members, some with undisclosed biases, often skews the presentation/advice, even from honest members that become influenced by those they perceive have more expertise). While I've worked with devs and even negotiated with the forum owner, I've tried to persuade him to crack down on these practices and stop his own pay to play practices, or at least fully disclose them (as required by the US FTC, btw) so visitors know the reality and bias inherent in the environment.
I actually don't know of any of this stuff happening at Cakewalk Forums and my guess is that it is not as prevalent here because most devs focus on the higher traffic forums like, KVR and VI Control (and in the past at NorthernSounds before it became a ghost town). And I think it's one of the reasons Cakewalk Forums has such a friendly, helpful, even altruistic vibe and I think devs who practice the whole NFRs to talk up libraries, even though some of them are devs I know and like, help ruin forums. So, all of this has led me to the belief that the most honest thing a dev can do is NOT only avoid giving NFRs to people (AKA shills) who hawk their libraries undisclosed in forums but to create sample library trials/demos (not audio demos, but limited/trial versions of the full library). After all, sample devs aren't in it to sell people a single library. Successful ones need to make libraries their customers love and honestly recommend them to others. The last thing they should want is a disappointed customer who finds the library a disappointment. If more sample users tried out a library before buying, I believe there'd be a lot more satisfied sample library customers in the world. It's the fairest system I can imagine.
Okay, my public service announcement/rant related to the importance of "trusted friends" (as opposed to kinda sorta forum friends) is over! Back on topic.
