It seems most other sample lib devs have figured out a better way to deliver large downloads.

Honestly had I known it would be this much of a hassle I'd have either opted for a physical product or just. So I'm not here to attack or white-knight the quality of the sounds.īut I am absolutely going to call them out for a hugely terrible and grueling process that is literally going to take up hours of my time to work through just to use what I purchased. And I've been using T-racks for over a decade and still love it. Sampletank in my honest opinion is far from the top, but I still find they offer a good value on a well-rounded entry level product. I'm not here to discuss how IK's sample-based products compare to others. We're talking 12-20 hours to put this in usable form on my machine.

Customers are literally required to select a batch (which is a pain because the list barely shows 10 in the window and when you try to select them the auto-scroll kicks in and makes your attempt of keeping your place a complete mockery), wait a few hours (assuming there are no network interruptions, which spoiler alert, they happen) and then repeat this process 5-6 more times. Ever.Įven though you can *technically* download 10 at time there's just no way to overnight this one like I usually do with huge downloads, which are typically done through download managers like Continuata Connect or similar. So IKMultimedia: if you're still here can we talk about the installation process for this behemoth? I am 100% certain I can speak for every composer in the world when I say that no one wants to manually download 61 (sixty one!!!) individual files for a single product. But I have some relevant feedback for IKMultimedia (hopefully they're paying attention) that might also serve as useful information for anyone considering purchasing the software.

Sorry for the thread resurrect, but despite pre-ordering ST4 a while ago I only got around to downloading and installing it this week because I was waiting on a new computer.
