Heavyocity AEON collection review

Checking out the brand new instrument library from Heavyocity called AEON, I'm looking at both the melodic and rhythmic collections. As usual I go through the interface to show you around as well as play a bunch of the sounds so you know what they sound like.

i like this guy. he actually shows the menus as he plays them and he actually plays a bunch of the samples, most people just talk about it and play a couple samples .

[@keithholden9667]

Thanks St.....Been pondering on this one but I think I'm going for it.....Cheers for the review...

[@SoundsAndGear]

+Keith Holden Thanks for watching fam.

[@SoundsAndGear]

the loops are loops, unless you mean the arps and you can turn arps on or off

[@DevineInnovations]

Thanks a lot for this video! I was having a really hard time figuring out what exactly this instrument is and after hearing the sounds I have a better idea. Seems like you could make a really cool futuristic movie soundtrack with this (as well as other things).

[@kole076]

Dude I love your videos, very informative!

[@SoundsAndGear]

thanks for the support!

[@SoundsAndGear]

I just started reviewing stuff I was buying or owned and companies started to notice. Sometimes they send me stuff to review and if I like it I'll post a video about it, I also buy a lot of stuff as well. Sometimes most of these companies have sales and such, like the last time Sample Logic had a 60% off sale I bought up a bunch of stuff lol. I did do a review on their new Impakt library already, check it out :)

[@18FrozenProductions]

The sounds between 1:36 - 1:55 were totally amazing!

[@CatWAVE-qq1gs]

Hollywood movie stuff.

[@PaulDenman]

Ah, this is the instrument Gary Numan is using whilst writing his follow-up to Savage at the moment. Thanks for the upload, nice vid!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheSynchronon]

Now on summer sale at Heavyocity...will get one asap. Thx for the great vid!

[@ThisIsDayDreamer]

Dope!!! Looks like there's some really unique and good quality sounds in here. Lots of room to tweak as well!

[@SoundsAndGear]

thanks for teh support!

[@hasznoneother]

everything they make is crazy I'm a huge fan as well! Kontakt is truly the king of all samplers there are far too many libraries for anyone to match and this is a great addition!

[@joshua42777]

+1 for the mopho in the shot!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Ha! Thanks for watching.

[@ThomAdams]

Whoa. Another hit for Heavyocity!!!

[@mrconcept]

yeah noticed you were doing that later but when i wrote the comment i swear you were just clicking in the left presets panel!

[@DigitalQuestMusic]

Thanks for this amazing review. Great stuff you've showed here.

[@Urk0000]

Great overview, thanks!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks for watching!

[@LTPakaHIROSHI]

Thanks for your useful review.

[@billy2129]

Really Kool!!!....This is on my Wish List !!! As Always ....Great Demo!!!! Thanx St Joe!!

[@SoundsAndGear]

drag it over the top or use the arrows next to the preset name

[@SoundsAndGear]

Yes they did, but this one was not made/released through NI

[@TheBulletOfCreasy]

Very good review as usual :) just bought AEON Collection. It's amazing, worth money :)

[@BYRD4REAL]

Definitely gona have to grab this. Great review

[@ytb917]

great demo.

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks for watching

[@MrDismon]

all these 500 vids are awesome so simply explained,man,,,but i'm just wondering about where do you get the money to buying them,,hehe,,,long live SoundAndGear

[@SoundsAndGear]

Ahahahaha, that would be cool :) Glad you like the video!

[@mallorca1guy]

man I love you!!!! you always come with very good stuff!!!! peace

[@shubilmusic]

Heavyocity linked to your review. congratz!

[@ViceVersaMusik1]

This plugin looks sick...right up there with damage

[@laid-backmusicgrouptv3003]

I love your video! Good stuff. I am also really starting to love Heavyocity products. Truly amazing.

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks for watching fam!

[@SoundsAndGear]

thanks for checkin it man!

[@mrconcept]

how do you just switch preset so it just replaces the existing one? Mine automatically adds a second instrument (unless i drag the name of the prest over the name of the existing instrument!)

[@SoundsAndGear]

Heavyocity is not an NI brand/company, they have just done some product for them. So not everything they do will be released through NI

[@roderickmack5922]

You could easily get lost with this. Let's hope N-I makes it a part of Komplete 10 when it come around.

[@FTarquin]

I can't find the answer anywhere??? Do you have to buy Kontakt player for $399 to use it.. I know they have a free demo... but it says it time outs every 15 min...

[@SoundsAndGear]

yeah they make dope stuff man

[@SoundsAndGear]

yeah fam, it's nice!

[@Rawnchie14]

Mad Useful Reviews

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks fam!

[@Losdouble]

Amazing!!!

[@roderickmack5922]

But hasn't this group the same that has made Evolve & Damage? If I'm not mistaken.

[@CatWAVE-qq1gs]

I had like 100 ideas for songs listening to this gem..

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks for watching

[@math9419]

it's great sound and many preset. although it's harder than Kontakt, maybe i need discover it more .... ! thanks for your clip

[@SoundsAndGear]

it's an old evolution mk249c

[@SoundsAndGear]

they are awesome man!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Nah, this doesn't really sound like DAMAGE imo, it's more melodic/instrumental. Doesn't seem to be a lot of overlap in their 3 main products, which is cool :)

[@TheGlow101]

You only need Kontakt Player ( the free version of Kontakt ) for this.

[@SoundsAndGear]

nice man, thanks!

[@SoundsAndGear]

yeah man, they have some great stuff bro!

[@m.p.958]

Thanks for this cool video, man !

[@THEREALtrappajohn]

as far as the loop patches go,...can those sounds be played "individually"? or are they only able to be played as "loops"?

[@DMorrissey1313]

first time commenter her St. Joe, and I have to thank you because I watched a ton of your vids man! Do you hear a place for these sounds in hip hop production? I do but I just wanted your thoughts. Is this something I can dig through when I'm looking for that inspiration on a new track? You know what I mean? Thanks a lot again!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks for the support fam! For sure, I feel sound is sound and can be used anywhere it's up to the person to be creative, and that's what sets you apart when you start using things that may not be "made for" a particular style.

[@Ddeessoolloozz]

All these instruments dude u make any music where can I find it

[@Psycho4video]

Really blew my mind! But I'm interested to know what's the name of the keyboard you use in this video?

[@PeterSchmidt]

Are the drums really epic like Damage?

[@OfficialAbass]

i love the way u always start talking ahahah

[@stringstorm]

The rhythmic suite is WAY too handy for its own good, especially when your're doing backing track for video games.

[@SoundsAndGear]

Ahahaha, man they make great stuff for sure, thanks for watching!

[@hubbbe]

Ok, Heavyocity take my money.

[@SoundsAndGear]

hahahaha, indeed man indeed!

[@srwsrw2]

Love your delivery , but did i miss something with all the Heavyocity stuff can you load your own samples to be processed by the software ?

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks for watching, it's actually an instrument on it's own you can't load your own samples into it.

[@SoundsAndGear]

cool man thanks for the sub!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Thanks for catching that! lol

[@SoundsAndGear]

yes indeed :)

[@montazownianr1]

Why You don't do sample libraries reviews anymore?

[@SoundsAndGear]

I do when there is something that grabs my intetest.

[@ArtifactsofExile]

is it worth bro? i think if i would produce some intro or trailer sounds i better get Damage and Razor from NI

[@bdubb4388]

do yo think that STUDIOLINKEDVST product are similar to HEAVYOCITY DSK REFXNEXUS SYLENTH1 TONE2 AND A FEW OTHERS BUT STUDIOLINKEDVST CHANGES THE LOOK BUT BIGHTS THE SOUNDS?

[@SoundsAndGear]

B Dubb I don't know about similar, they are more geared towards urban/edm sounds where the others may be cinematic, edm, pop, etc.

[@Icywar]

Does gravity work with ableton ? Would it just setup as a plug in and load all packs in sound and samples? Anyone know thanks!

[@SoundsAndGear]

Yeah, you load Kontakt as a plugin in Ableton to use it.

[@Icywar]

Thanks for the help! Much appreciated!

[@SoundsAndGear]

No problem.

[@jarrodhroberson]

nothing creepier than a music box in a minor key and some dissident pads under it!

[@DerbyBeef]

its a kind of massive, would say

[@SoundsAndGear]

hahahaha, thnks for watching

[@justdonniekicks8682]

I have a question with the free kontakt player does it run out of time as far as being able to operate it.... and if the free kontakt player is free then what's the point of getting the full version of it what's the difference between the two I'm sorry I have so many questions bro....

[@SoundsAndGear]

The free player works with libraries that are "powered by Kontakt" meaning, the companies pay a license fee to NI in order for their libraries to work with the free player. The full version lets you play libraries that are not "player" libraries, which there are quite a few out there. It also lets you edit and build your own instruments in the backend.

[@justdonniekicks8682]

+SoundsAndGear.com I greatly appreciate that man

[@SoundsAndGear]

No problem!

[@JennysmusicprojectKristianzhe]

Hi there & thanks for this review. Do you think the Aeon collection is only suitable for scoring producers? Or do you think it also fits into pop/rock/funk and music producer stuff? They do not have a demo because of kontakt restrictions, so then I ask you :-) I can sit here and watch demo videos all days long, but nothing beats to test it out myself. So, nice if you could answere me this and tell me your opinion.

[@JennysmusicprojectKristianzhe]

Electronic music as well, so that is said. Not only pop music. Just if it fits a music producer as much as a modern scroing producer if you see my point...in your opinion...

[@JennysmusicprojectKristianzhe]

I bought it today, so then I can test for myself :-) Together with the DM-307 and the Punish FX.

[@SoundsAndGear]

I believe you can use the sounds for whatever you like if the sounds inspire you.

[@SoundsAndGear]

+Kristianzhe/JVP nice man

[@SoundsAndGear]

hahahaha, no doubt :)

[@SoundsAndGear]

cool, nah I don't mess with 8dio, but I'm sure it's cool

[@SoundsAndGear]

This isn't an NI product, so I wouldn't count on that.

[@ArtifactsofExile]

at the begin when you begin to talk i tought you rap :D

[@marcwashington9733]

Wow! I’m sold once again. Great video Saint Joe. I’m putting my order in right now. This one is THE TRUTH. Purely and simply audio DOPE. Dig it!

[@SoundsAndGear]

indeed lol

[@SoundsAndGear]

yeah, pretty much lol

[@SoundsAndGear]

LOL!

[@mallorca1guy]

don't mention :-)
