The Art of Taking Chances: The Story of Musio

[@cherrysound]

Mike, it’ll be great, believe us. You are the best developer of sample libraries in the World. Everything will be good ❤

[@musio.official]

Thank you! And thank you for sticking with us 😁. It means the world

[@synapticschism]

Damn Mike, that was right in the feels... I am one of the first Musio perpetual license holders. I was in Barcelona on vacation with my family when I saw the announcement. I went back to the hotel as fast as I could to purchase the license. I did it not because I thought Musio was the best thing ever, but because I believed then and still do now, that it will be amazing, both the software and the content. I am and will always be critical of Musio because of my expectations and I believe this vision of yours will continue to improve and grow. Musio is great and it will be even greater. I have the same trust and confidence I had that day, on vacation with my family. Keep up the good work and since we're here... make those close mics available, pretty please?... :)

[@musio.official]

Thanks for coming on this journey with us! We look forward to continuing to improve the experience for you and build the plugin that keeps you inspired :). P.s. Mic positions are definitely in the works. 😁

[@LetsSmiley]

Mike, I think you don't know how much this means to me. I am a young computer scientiest and music nerd and I've always been inspired by the products you guys put out. And the whole story you tell together with your company just fills me with joy and gives me a drive: "They made their dream come true, I can do it too." And not achieving it by any means, by doing evil corporate shenangians but by being transparent and honest. A company I know that values its customers. And now I can see why: The passion you and your team radiates is clearly visible and it is just so fun to see what you guys do. Thank you.

[@musio.official]

You can absolutely make your dream come true! Keep going, you've got this :). Thank you for sticking with us, we hope to keep inspiring you.

[@ronricherson6685]

Thanks for opening up and being real Mike. I was just under the wire to get Musio Lifetime and haven't regretted it. I already ha well over 100 sound libraries (including a decent amount of Cinesamples) but find myself utilizing Musio a lot. I'm looking for ways to utilize everything! But now have a even better appreciation of how many challenges are involved in what you do. Your passion is commendable. And I totally understand. I'm creating a major fundraiser to feed the hungry and using music in a big way. Seeing my vision turn to reality is having a powerful effect on me too.

[@musio.official]

Thank you for sharing your experiences, we're so incredibly glad that you're finding Musio inspiring! And we're honored to be part of bringing your own vision to life :).

[@MaxShirshovMusic]

I bough musio a few weeks ago and I gotta say this was the easiest sample instrument/s purchase I've made. The value is so worth the money. Big thank you to everyone who has worked on this and thank you for making it accesible to everyone. I keep telling everyone that I'm excited for the extra articulations and mic positions but even if that didn't come, it's still worth every penny.

[@musio.official]

I'm so glad you're finding Musio valuable :). We'll always continue to improve it, more articulations and mic positions included! Thanks for taking a chance on us, we're stoked to be part of your music journey!

[@marialazarevamusic]

Great video! Thank you for sharing it, Musio!

[@CB-Music]

Mike, you and your team are doing awesome work. Been using Musio for over a year. I love being able to open up the Musio catalog and experiment with and use new instruments so effortlessly. Well done. As a long-time engineering entrepreneur myself I understand the challenges you face. Yes your kids are learning valuable lessons from you. My only request: I wish there was a dedicated Discord or similar group for those of us who would like to share our Musio works with other Musio enthusiasts. Thanks for Musio 👍

[@musio.official]

We're so glad that you're enjoying Musio and feeling inspired to create 🙌. We hope your experience only keeps getting better and better as we continue to build and improve. In terms of a Discord, that's actually something we've talked about a number of times and have plans to do. We would love to have a place where the Musio community can engage with one another and share their creations. We're a fairly small team right now and focused on a few high level developments to improve the plugin, but rest assured, a Discord Community is definitely on our list to create sooner than later. As soon as it's up and running we'll let you know 😁

[@rbingraham]

I tried creating a Discord for Musio, but only a couple folks have joined. I'd als be perfectly happy to get rid of it if Musio created their own.

[@CB-Music]

@@rbingraham Since Musio has a list of all the Musio customers they are in the best position to get the word out about something like this. Perhaps they could promote yours and get more folks to jump on?

[@MrGreekBlade]

i will buy Musio...first i love cinesamples sound second i hate kontakt ... thanks man for your efforts to work for us the composers...Peace

[@musio.official]

Welcome aboard! And thanks for taking a chance on Musio :). We hope you love it and we look forward to hearing more about your experience with it!

I've owned Musio for over a year now. It's amazing!!! Finally someone standing up to the tyranny of Kontakt... I'm looking forward to Industry Strings... maybe?? That would be great!

[@CrankyOldNerd]

I've loved your podcasts, thanks for doing what you are doing.

[@musio.official]

Thanks for sticking with us! We're stoked to be able to make tools and content that are valuable and keep you inspired 😁.

[@vRoMe0]

Congrats Mike and the whole team! I got the perpetual license recently & I absolutely love it ❤The value & sounds it packs is incredible! Such a great asset to have in a composer’s toolbox. And I love the fact that you guys are constantly listening to feedback, squashing bugs, updating the existing sounds & adding new ones to the catalog. Really excited to be on this journey with you guys. Happy Birthday MUSIO 🎉🥳

[@musio.official]

We're glad to have you aboard and so happy to hear you're loving your experience so far 🙌.

[@clydesight]

I love MUSIO 1 and I think it is brilliant and well worth the money - especially when you have a sale! The sample libraries are amazing! But the sampler engine is so slick and easy to use, it is brilliant! Thank you for producing this!

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this story, Mike!

[@musio.official]

🙏 Thank you for watching!

[@rbingraham]

I'm really glad Musio came along. It has become the tool that turn to the most often as it is simple to use, sounds good and it just works. I hope I was one of those 100 people who actually gave you some feedback. Although I'll admit it probably took me a bit before I really started to use it much, but I know I've had it pretty much since it was first publicly released. It didn't hurt that it came along just as I was starting to acquire more Cinesamples libraries, so I hadn't already spent thousands on the CS catalog yet. Thanks for all the work of the team on this project, it's a great tool. All the best on its future, I can't wait to see where this goes.

[@musio.official]

Thanks for sticking with us on this wild ride, and giving us feedback 🙌. Ultimately, we want to build a plugin that keeps creators like you inspired, so your thoughts and ideas are deeply valuable to us. We look forward to continuing to grow and improve the experience!

[@SmorcTV]

I just start my music composer jouney and learn to compose music, You are my first library that i choose, i hope we will grow up together. i like your passion "labour of love"

[@musio.official]

Congratulations on taking those first steps :). We’re stoked to be part of your journey

[@1000buffalos]

I find myself grabbing Musio samples on projects almost exclusively now. Even their antecedents in the Cinesamples format, which I have depended on for a while now, are languishing. I have a pretty robust Mac Pro system, but I keep expecting to get a glitch as I load in sample after sample. It never happens, Mike. Thank you for making the pathway to the music easier.

[@dB_Twelve]

Thank you, Mike and the team!

[@tom.m.mancini]

Musio is the only subscription service that feels worth my money. Thank you guys for making such a great product!

[@DmitryLubenskiy]

Very honest video. Now I see that I have bought the software made with passion.

[@berasautu3478]

I am excited to try out Musio. Listening to you and listening to reviews about Musio especially focussing on better UI and getting quality instruments, better interface shows this product is made by musicians for musicians. I think this will appeal to any music composer of any level especially those who do not want to deal with a high learning curve to start making music. The price is very competitive too in my opinion. Keep up the great work.

[@acevaptsarov8410]

Musio looks really great! I got Musio 1 the other day, because I always wnated the Core CineSamples and they've been on the list for so long... It seemed like a no brainer deal... Thanks for making that available! I haven't used Musio much yet, but don't seem to see a purge samples option. Not sure if you're planning on intrudocing it at some point, but please please please make purging samples an option... It's the only way to load tons of patches and use them efficiently. Good luck with the new initiave and thank you so much for the great instruments!

[@musio.official]

Hey there! Unfortunately, we don't have a purge function in Musio yet. But it's a highly requested feature we're working on!

I don't think I have ever heard of Musio before, mainly because I'm only working on the piano and nothing else. So it's interesting that KZbin decided to recommend this video to me in the first place, but I'm glad it did. It was so interesting to see and hear about the process and adventure that lead you and your company to where you are now, and it is great to see it all being lead by humans with true passion for the art! You have definitely brought your product into my line of sight with this as well, so hopefully I'll remember about it if I ever decide to do more than just piano! Thanks for this incredibly insightful and personal video!

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you were able to find value in it 😁. Whenever you're ready to explore more sounds, Musio's here for you :)

[@TonyDeConcini]

I think I was lucky enough to grab Musio when it first hit the market. GLAD I did. So, good on you Mike and a GREAT team of people behind this. I have thought of using it on the lifetime subscription. Retired on fixed income - just can't afford it. BUT it IS a great deal. Further, I'm old, so I just couldn't figure why I'd need a lifetime sub on it since mine is just about over. I mean, who ever knows right? But at 77 - just how many years DO I have left. THAT was a big consideration. So maybe I'll not be ABLE physically in a year or two or so - to do anything like this. So for now it's year to year sub and that's okay. THANKS for creating this. It's as good as any other subscription instrument library ever was that might have come before and better in so many ways. Again, good on you all for creating a great product.

[@musio.official]

I'm glad you've been able to find value in Musio, and use it in a way that works for you. I hope it continues to inspire you, and I hope you continue to make music far beyond the next year or two :). Thank you for sharing your experience, we're honored to be part of your creative journey.

[@greggiacona238]

I'm loving Musio--bought it Black Friday last November- thank you for the great deal! My only complaint is the slow attack time on some of the orchestral instruments. Most of the strings and brass are not allowing me to play fast lines with no latency. This is with buffer at 512 or smaller. To compare--I load EastWest Opus, and load similar sounds--(to isolate the cause)--and the Opus instruments are giving me faster attacks for those parts that need it. I'm on the latest version AU 1.27--is this Musio version fully optimized for Mac Silicon M1? I'm running a Mac Studio Ultra M1 and MOTU Digital Performer 11. Keep us the good work, loving the ability to explore LOTS of great libraries!

[@ericsierka]

Really great video. I know what you mean about trying to show your kids something. I have four daughters and spent 27 years in corporate America before buying a home care franchise caring for seniors (something I knew nothing about when I started). I did that for 7 years before I finally was able to transition to my new full time career as a composer. I hope if nothing else they see they can do different things throughout their lives if they take chances and take action, even though they may fail along the way. By the way I'm a Musio subscriber and enjoy using your instruments which are a great value!

[@musio.official]

Congratulations on your transition to composing full time! That's no small achievement. I'm sure witnessing their father pursue what he loves has had a major impact on your daughters 😁. We're honored to be part of your musical journey :).

[@zaharishtonov]

Mike, for me, the way I see it, you are the Steve Jobs of the music sampling industry! Not to compare you to another person, but to the way he approached innovations. I’ve always been mesmerized by the original Kontakt based libraries, the way they sound, the variety of instruments, the UI. But they were always kind of out of reach for me. The day Musio came around, first as a beta, I got really excited. I wasn’t able to provide any feedback during the beta period as I found myself not worthy enough to truly put the software to the test. Then when the official announcement was emailed and advertised I immediately jumped into securing a lifetime license! It was almost too good to be truth to me. So much value into something that will change lives across the globe, by giving access to a tool that surpasses most expectations. I am so glad I am on board with you guys! I believe that very shortly Musio will be the best way to create orchestral music on a personal computer! Keep up the great work!
