Well,
e Sounds made a package group buy for Ocean Way drums.

Now, in typoical NI fashion , or it may be e sounds, I found the downloading, authorization codes, and installation of the soft ware to be one of the most retarded experiences I could ever imagine!!

But man..

THE OCEAN WAY DRUMS ARE AMAZING.

The snares are fat and warm , the toms will shakes your house, the playability is first rate, so real man!!
I met the designer at NAAM this yr and he seemed proud of his product.

I too am proud.

Beware of the hassle of understanding e sounds crazy website for authorizations, good luck getting the software installed..lol...

But once you do...WOW!!!!!!

Nice.

I'm in the same group buy and have not even attempted to download the files yet because I know that the esoundz process is kind of confusing and that there will be a metric ton of files. I may just cough up the $ for the DVD that they plan to sell with all of the sounds on it and install it then...

Glad you are digging the drums though. That's something to look forward to!

Thanks for posting this. I just ordered it and am still awaiting download instructions. I hire someone to do all my grunt work so I won't have to worry about the hassle of downloading.

Just kidding! :wink:

WOW...Me too!...I just bought the Silver Edition OWD and got it on thursday...much easier installing from DVD's no doubt...although a lengthy process for sure. The beautiful thing starting with the silver edition is the I-Map and V-Drum Maps...I have a Roland TD-20 and got everything up and running today...I am very impressed with these kits! :D

See ya

Yeah i got this too.. Dipped into my DP7 upgrade fund for it.. :roll:

Think i might make alot of use out of them.. They do sound very nice! Also look forward to trying out the Room IR's that come with it..

I haven't started downloading yet as the library will exceed my 10gb broadband download limit for the month and get me into trouble. :(

They're still $99 and the demos sound terrific! Makes me want to get my Fibes out of storage. :)

They do list this in the FAQ:
Can I resell the sounds if I don’t use them?

No, the standard license agreement does not provide for a legal transfer of the license to use the sounds therefore they cannot be resold to someone else. They are licensed to the original purchaser only.
Actually, that's not true. There was a lawsuit about that about 3 or 4 years ago and the software mfg lost. Just an FYI...

O.K. based on all of your glowing reviews, I purchased.
I got an email purchase response, but no link to a download.

What is the secret to downloading and authorizing?

Thanks.
