What Samples have you regretted buying?

FuzyDunlop said:
Same exact experience for me. I didn't know anything about sample libraries at the time, although I don't really regret using Albion One as a starting point because if I had held off and waited to buy a bunch of other libraries I may never have really started composing at all.

I still use some of the stuff from Albion One, but not much.

I mainly use it to scetch a string chord line, the longs in that library sound fantastic.
 
- Albion ONE
- British Drama Toolkit
- All Rast Sound libraries
- Swing & Swing More (to be fair, haven't really spent enough time with them)
- Aizerx Classic Trailer Toolkit (UI is a disaster, individual WAVs can be good on their own)
- Apocalypse Percussion Elements
- Drums of the Deep 1 & 2

As I read this, it comes back to me. BDT is not mine either (Time Micro does that for me).
I bought it with the TON Sale, together with EDNA Earth (I won't use it very often) and the orchestral grand piano (what was that supposed to be?).

So I put TON on my list, fortunately it was very cheap and I will certainly use the one or other patch.
 
Funny enough, several of the libraries mentioned in this topic were close to game-changers for me. Komplete, British Drama Toolkit, stuff by 8Dio, even CineBrass (not the most versatile, but soooooo good at what's it good at)...

Just the complimentary reminder to everybody to take this topic with a grain of salt :)
 
I wasn't expecting to get a lot out of British Drama Toolkit, and probably wouldn't have gone for it on its own, but as part of The Ton it's felt nicely worthwhile. Treating the soft patches as intimate solo-instrument evos works quite nicely as textured longs to play chords with.

Everywhere. SCS's ideal use is: everywhere, all the time.

Speaking of BBCSO: i regret buying it. if it were a kontakt library i might be more accepting of its many shortcomings, but the player just kills it for me in the end.

SCS. It is on one hand a brilliant library. On the other, I dont find a home for it. Chamber music is named such bc it was for small ensembles in small rooms. Recording it how they did in AIR makes it sound like quarter sections of a symphonic section.

The Berlin Inspires are really just sketching libraries on the go. “Save now, spend double later”.
