I’ve been searching for a good Vibes/Vibraphone sample library to buy in Kontakt format & I would prefer it to be a download… So I searched & finally found what looks to be a great library from the Vienna Symphonic Library & its downloadable, but…

So its a downloadable library right, which costs EU75 but I have to have a USB Key on each computer that I want to use it on. I write music at home on an PT LE/ableton LIVE setup but then mix at my work studio PT HD & carrying USB keys backwards & forwards is a sure fire way to lose one, AND to destroy any chance of just being in the mood ie inspiration strikes, I want to use my vibraphone but oh FCK! the USB key is at home! So add two USB keys to the bill at EU58 each AND it costs EU55 to ship me the stupid keys in the first place…. What is the point of having a download library for sale if it can’t be used via downloading?

So please, please Sonic Couture or ToneHammer – there is a significant instrument waiting for your skills AND you also get to show some Austrians how to do business in the 21st century….
PS: I don’t ‘like’ that I have to use an iLok with my ProTools systems either but I don’t begrudge it because you cant download ProTools, the iLok just comes with the hardware (& if AVID wanted to be a bit more helpful, maybe they could build the iLok inside the hardware, so it cant be broken or stolen or annoy people quite so much)
