It has the repeditive feature if we let these guys do it.. then every soundbank maker will follow and start to post his ads on here...

then.. SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM!

Icone as a respected, constructive and helpful member of our little community deserves a exemption or at the very least.. a little slack.

yeah, sure making excptions for friends is real nice way to handle a forum. and i rather see this "spam" than some of the most stupid questions ive ever seen. the guy is just trying to make a living, dont have to be rude ( i mean d.... heads)

Point taken. But. My email filter blocks annoying stuff that I dont want or need - like pills that make you ejaculate buckets of sperm and fleshlights.

Maybe if I posted regularly on a sex masturbation fetish forum - it would'nt be so bad. It would be kind of appropriate there.

I mean this guy is advertising soundsets in a music production forum. How is that something that a theoretical forum spam filter would typically block? I imagine alot of people on this forum want to know about new soundsets or sample sets or sample cds or new synths. I only dont bother with this one because its Vanguard but some people like Vanguard. so its cool.

Its not like this guy is being annoying about it either - he is being quite polite and restrained. If this dude was advertising a sample CD for TR-808/909 samples I would be all over it.

Now. If this guy was advertising a bottle of pills called 'pills of the penis revolution' that makes your old man projectile vomit double cream (ONLY $9.99 WHILST STOCKS LAST. LIMITED SUPPLY CALL NOW) then I would get where you are coming from.

This is not spam dammit. This is some guy showing off some decent sounds.

if I were rude, I would use some F-words...I guess what i said was just polite rating of what is going on here...

and in no way I deserved to be called d-head...so shut up junior, thanks

i agree with u man. it is hard enough to make a living out of the underground music business, and then get bothered by gutless wanabees hiding behind their cpu monitor.

Yeah, it's hard to draw a sharp line between spam and useful posts letting you know about things you might want.

I suspect people might be more inclined to consider this spam if the sounds were crap instead of the good ones they are.

why would anyone need a sound bank for any synth when you could make your own patches yourself

why would anybody be bothered by the way other people make music?

i don't mind using other people's patches if they're helpful...

nothing special

It's not amazing but I'll get the second soundset as I like that first pad sound.

I think soundsets are very usefull to us still learning synths as unlike a sample we can see exacly how it is made and learn to do it ourselves.
