Hey everyone! I posted this in Cinematic Composing's community, but it's not as active as this one. How is your guy's experience with Vienna Ensemble Pro? I just received an email from Best Service, where VEP is on my wish list, and it mentioned that Vienna products have a 50% off code. I currently have a one-computer setup, but that may or may not change. With the death of Windows 10 on the horizon, I may inherit a family member's desktop. I use 11, but when I googled it, it said that I can still use a 10 as a slave. Is this correct? Granted, I would need another license if I were to use two. Lastly, how does the Vienna key work? I have an iLok already. Will that work, and do I have to have it inserted every time I'm using VEP? Also, I use Cubase 14 Pro. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I've been very busy, so I wasn't able to come visit more often here... But last time I did participate the ingame track challenge! If anyone is curious... go check it out hehe Anyway I am in this student game project, and I uploaded the first draft here somewhere. It sounded great to me, but it wasn't the right fit for the game's aesthetic. (refer to 3rd image, the character's just too cute!! There should be a marimba.) So I made new ones. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nO13mDXK0P-omge2088Ewr5R2070lHQm/view?usp=drive_link Stage 1-1 (1st image - full map) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BKXcfqg0BWOsItLXn2Qhyk3n-58bXPKE/view?usp=sharing Stage 1-2 (2nd image - full map) There's more to talk about! The game designers at first were planning to make all the stages to be played in the same 'scene' (this might be a different term for different game engine, but I'm talking about Unity), which doesn't require the loading screen because the player technically stays in one place the whole time. And that is why I uploaded just one video of FMOD playing my piece, explaining what is playing at what stage. The music from Stage 1-1 was played throughout, with more layers coming in as the player moves to the next stages. But recently, they made a lot of changes to the game's core mechanics and its presentations, so now there are <loading screens> between each stage. That made it really hard to create 'natural' transitions. I had to give up on my fancy skill of vertical layering! :( Lastly, I'm sharing my original piece. This is in the comment section somewhere, but I'm attaching it here again to save your time!! https://drive.google.com/file/d/108P7DHnvC8t81kvXTWjksYnrEIHACa4d/view?usp=sharing

Hi everyone, As we all know sample libraries are better than they've ever been. I just thought I'd start this thread & ask/share what are your favorite free libraries out there?
