Due to "Life" interferences, vowed to NOT purchase more sound
libraries.
Thanks to some help I purchased Komplete 10(standard).
As a lot of you know I've done a lot of work with UserTracks.
Have Forte, which is actually a very good sounding Synth for
several voices.
Also all 5 of the SAMPLE TANK 2.5 synths libraries/control panels.
This has around 30 gig of sounds. Did use this quite a bit until
purchased Sonar 3 years ago.
Along with SoundPak purchases and additional CW purchases and upgrades have several of
their mainline synths. Was and still am reasonably happy with their sounds and libraries.
This is my opinion, nothing in fact, other that experience working
with the UserTracks.
There is some number of things that affect the sound quality and increase
smooth and non-distorted UserTracks.
Hands down the Komplete 10(standard) with many synths has great sounds
and abilities with UserTracks work.
Taking an opinion of only one fact, the size/contiguous build of each
instrument/voicing is the cats pajama's.
Most of the last series of UserTracks contain K10 in the titles.
I still have a lot more to learn regarding where all of the 12,000
samples and sounds reside.
I also have Addictive Keys, which has some excellent sounds, but the
Kontakt 5 synth alone competes closely with ADDKEY.
Bottom line, after I finish up the yearly pain in patootie am going
to purchase the SampleTank vs 3 with a tiny keyboard.
Many of you folks are guilty of helping me break the Vow.
Naw, no sweat.
Appreciate all of the comments and information.

Man, you guys really do have terminal GAS...
I thought I was bad. Looking forward to your impressions of it and how you think it compares to your other stuff.

Mario The "war" wasn't over your price delta's you noted it was over K5 vs ST3. I figured to get some heat over how I like ST3 more than most folks, part of that is I think it's more convenient to use as well. But yea that's a large price delta Sweetwater vice IK direct (ST 3 page) BUT my humble apologies anyway since I just READ IK's AD for their "Fully Loaded Workstation" at IK, your ARE RIGHT IK itself claims ST3 is a "$349 value" - so both Peace and UNCLE!!  http://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/promos/?item_id=8323But right now, as you noted: $59 will get you a "thingambod" (a mini 25 key keyboard - that I'd break in a single day, I have hams for hands so it woudl end up a paper weight) AND FULL ST3 I think that's a no brainier deal no matter what normal MSRP is (or isn't?). FOR 60 bucks even if you hate IK, IK Authorization, and didn't like ST 2.5 I can't believe someone couldn't find 60 bucks worth of usable/likeable ST3 sounds [plus the bigger ST3 interface is kinder to old eyes (like mine) than ST 2 or Kontakt (when browsing for instruments)] Larry

I fell down the stairs hit my head, then proceeded to come back up
and purchased the 37 key package.
Have any of you made the purchase and received the queue to download
the libraries ?
By the way I feel better, but receiving the software with cure me completely.
Thank you.

Given how ST 2.5 XL came with my iRig Keys Pro last year (I didn't need a 3rd copy)
when I got the HW and registered it, is WHEN I got the 3rd copy of ST 2.5 added to my user area for download
but it could be different now

Thank you. Frank, I just bought the 37 key too! They say you get your download after you register the keyboard. And I assumed I cannot register until I get the keyboard.

Now need to download ST3 SE or its sound libraries - unless you just like to watch downloads or want partially redundant ST 3 sound libs (same sounds just fewer, about 75% fewer) .
This is like if you have/had ST 2.5 XL no need to get ST2.5L, XT, or Free libs (same stuff just less or a whole lot less of it)

the shipping box......

Am downloading now...only have 4-5 meg speed.
But part of the "fun"...

To J3 that was suppose to read "NO need to download ST 3 SE..."
Not the as written "NOW need..."
But hopefully you already figured out my fat finger typo by now

You're supposed to proof read it before hitting the button, not test the proof by drinking it...<grin>

Well after some number of hours....ST3 with library is functional with
BIAB.
On install, I opted for all plugin types. They were stuck into, methinks 3 places.
My lack of specific instrument variation types leave me in the dark a bit.
The sounds are very good.
A + is the quick abilities to load an instrument.
I'm partial to NI libraries, but have not figured out how to access
its entirety.
Mistake made in purchase was NOT getting the 37 FULL size keyboard.
It was only $20 more. Got the 37 mini.
With shipping was $95.change.
Have loaded bass and a piano with BIAB demo, but didn't think
appropriate to post. This is not a IK site.
No regrets, but no "Snoopy" dances.

Copy/Paste from IK website promo ad for iRigKeys37;
"When you register your iRig Keys 37, you’ll also get a bundle of free instrument collections that you can use to expand your creativity even further. You get The Grid, a collection of cutting-edge electronic construction kit and drum kit sounds plus 5 instrument collections of your choosing from our Beats and Elektronika electronic music series (choose and download from IK User Area).
My user download area is missing the selection for me to choose 5 instrument collections. (All else seems good though). I contacted IK support and waiting for reply. Is anyone else missing these?
Does the noise in your head bother me ?

I just checked and I seem to have the following new items in my products area,
- SampleTank 3
- SampleTank 3 SE
- AmpliTube Custom Shop
- The Grid
- SampleTank Custom Shop
I downloaded SampleTank 3 but not the others. Should I get those too?
Just noticed SampleTank 3 has a Related Downloads link. I guess I should get those too?
- Steel Drums Sound content
- Sound Library Update

I have always said, "You know when you have too may plugins and VSTs when you got so many you don't know what you got!" When I got to that point I stop buying and downloading.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
Convenient Ways to Listen to Band-in-a-Box® Songs Created by Program Users!
The User Showcase Forum is an excellent place to share your Band-in-a-Box® songs and listen to songs other program users are creating!
There are other places you can listen to these songs too! Visit our User Showcase page to sort by genre, artist (forum name), song title, and date - each listing will direct you to the forum post for that song.
If you'd rather listen to these songs in one place, head to our Band-in-a-Box® Radio, where you'll have the option to select the genre playlist for your listening pleasure. This page has SoundCloud built in, so it won't redirect you. We've also added the link to the Artists SoundCloud page here, and a link to their forum post.
We hope you find some inspiration from this amazing collection of User Showcase Songs!
