Only so many hours in the day, I assume he's mostly out and about, wheeling and dealing. Youtube influencers are cheap labour and eager to please.

Bingo!
Plus Akai is probably banking on people just buying it because it Spitfire & is only $30. More YT dudes will make videos giving us a better sense of what they can do.

I never heard a good demo of these from any of them. They do sound good though.. obviously a stab is a stab.. they only have like ten sounds each and mostly fluff of that.. still worth it though for the few great sounds I think. If you want authentic sounding emotional strings I mean.

Maybe if you don’t already have Fabric XL it’s worth it, but only if you don’t also eventually want all the other good stuff that comes with FXL. Or Studio Strings maybe but I’ve never messed with that.

And to me the demo doesn’t sound very authentic, but fine for modern music.

They're less CPU hungry than Studio Strings & with good strings I don't need a bunch of presets as I'm gonna layer them with other sounds & or run them thru FX. 1 of my early setups was a SP-505 with Yamaha PSR-77 (only GM patches) & I made that shit work. I miss those days!

You asked something you didn't have knowledge for. Wise words was given to help you gain understanding, but the answers made you upset for whatever reason, even tho, there was no ill intent, I just was answering in jokin way, we made a little fun of it & thought about the old days when site was far from trying to be sufficient.

Man let it that shit go & enjoy your Sunday.

Let’s say I download a demo of a plug-in and sample some sounds to make key groups or my own pads, my demo expires and I later go on to publish a song using the sounds I sampled. Do I have the rights to do this?


*not directed at you*
I always find these questions funny. The only time you’d have to ever worry about copyrights, royalties etc is if your song blew up. And at that point you wouldn’t care because you know… you made it big so… :lol:

Sample and use what the **** you want. That legal stuff is only for major studios and artists
