Red Giant Library...

Post by longshadow71 »

I've been listening to the sample videos and there are indeed some nice sounds in there. Worth the price? That's my question. Anybody here purchase any of them or have any input? Greatly appreciate any thoughts.

I would say it depends on your experience creating programs from scratch and how much you want to learn on your own. Buying programs saves time, but in my opinion that's time well spent if you are learning your way around the NS4. As the NS4 is new, there aren't many free programs posted yet with the NUF, however any user-created samples you find can be loaded for you to try out. The search function works well if you are looking for particular songs. Here's a link to get to over 70 samples I have posted: 70+ Samples, and here's a post you should be aware of as well regarding conversion of older samples to NSMP4 format: Sample Converter.
Good luck.

Note: The Nord Sound Manager will now convert NSMP samples to NSMP4 format for the Stage 4, so the converter is not needed.

I bought the XXL library a while back when there was a huge sale but never got around to installing it on my Stage 3. Am redownloading it and will take a look.

Generally I agree that most of these sounds can probably be found elsewhere.

I was mostly curious of the sample quality. I'm new to the Nord universe, so the sound creation end of things is relatively new as well.

I used the Red Giant library on my old Electro. Ehen I upgraded to the Stage 4, I exported a couple of the samples from the library that I was using - perhaps 3 or 4 of them. They are of a good quality, mostly with no obvious loop points and easily good enough for stage use.

Hope that helps.
