"More than just a sound idea..." We also offer commercial agreements and our services extend beyond simple downloadable content.

Primarily offering music production services, NKS compatibility libraries and location sound recording we also offer a host of freelance expertise to anyone needing a "jack of all trades". FreelanceSoundLabs.com was created to allow the sharing and distribution of our music and audio services to the wider community. Rather than putting together another bloated sample and audio sharing site or expe

nsive packages, we operate on a much smaller scale. We can also offer sound design, music production, mixing, programming, scripting, graphic design, video editing and a whole host of creative and support services through many of our close partners. In addition to audio work I also offer support and management services for forums, websites, servers (game/hosted servers) and anything else that may need a "jack of all trades" kind of approach. With experience in managing small offices and teams, to remote support to fast paced production and time critical applications there is almost no task that I won't take on and figure out.

Just a quick note that my site was targeted in the last week by spambots looking for weaknesses of which there are few but seems either a small weakness in the cart system or new ways bots are able to bypass the captcha meant I was fielding about 500 orders an hour as they tried to test credit cards.

I've had to make some changes around the cart system, mostly a second layer of real-time captcha along with the checkbox and also some filtering but have also made a change to the credit card payment system that now uses Stripe rather than PayPal which may also help with some users that would get declined transactions

I have removed the need to use Captcha for logged in users so that annoying checkbox should disappear if you are logged in. Just the constant battle against scum likely now using better automated AI based tools to do their work. Not something many people want to spend their weekend combating.

I have also added some extra options for checkout such as Afterpay so If you hit any issue at checkout just let me know.

Omnisphere 3 NKS Library Beta Test Available

I have decided to open a Beta Test for willing participants to trial the initial library for Omnisphere 3.

This test is open and available to all registered users of the site (you need an account which is created when you checkout a library) and provides the first Omnisphere 3 library "Analog Vibes" to test.

Files are all fully tagged, contain sound previews and a brand new 50 page controller map that now offers control of the new global parameters as well as most of the common parameters for all 4 layers.

I am already processing further libraries but figured before I get too ahead I should make sure it works as expected and covers the controls people would like to access.

Library download is approx 250MB but requires about 1GB install space. No artwork or database files included as it is just for testing and will appear in the Omnisphere library for those with the current Omnisphere 2 library installed as a bank "Omnisphere 3"

Before downloading and testing be sure to read the information on the page especially about updating Omnisphere to the poosted Beta version. I am looking for feedback of any kind, even if it is working great i'd just like to know what OS and your experience since this will be a massive library I do not want to have to redo and has already taken a good solid month to get to this point. Once I hit go I will not be going back to redo anything.

Login and access the beta in the Spectrasonics section or directly Here:
https://freelancesoundlabs.com/product/id:13956/downloads/spectrasonics/spectrasonics-omnisphere-3-nks-beta/

Download is free, just add to cart and go through the checkout to download.

Now Available: Falcon 2026 Factory Update

https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/falcon

New updated library for Falcon 2026.

This library now includes all presets for the older "legacy" library along with the new updated "Factory Rev 2" library and the latest 100 presets released with the 2026 update.

All content has been updated with new bank information and now has banks that list legacy and Rev 2 factory content with sub banks available for version releases (requires latest Komplete Kontrol for Sub Banks to work)

Each preset has a custom unique template that covers each presets controls, fully labelled with the control labels and all presets are tagged using NKS standards.

A note with the Legacy Library, the updated Rev 2 library contains most of the legacy library presets so it is not a requirement to have the older legacy library however there are some presets that are not available and there are also some different control option in the legacy presets. You do need to have the Falcon legacy factory UFS installed for the legacy NKS files to load, instructions on downloading that from your UVI account are included if you do not have it already.

Upgrade options for owners of the previous Falcon NKS libraries

Now Available: NKS Library for XLN Audio AD2 Kit: Hip-Hop & Gospel

https://freelancesoundlabs.com/nks/addictivedrums

NKS Library now available for XLN Audio Hip-Hop & Gospel offering both AD2 MIDI Mapping or GM Midi Mapping options to load.

Note that as with past libraries the "Pitch" parameter may not function on some kit pieces due to the Pitch or "Kit Piece Controls" sections being disabled in the patch (requires activation). I did do an update where I enabled ALL pitch control sections to ON however I found that on some kits the whole Kit Control section for a selected kit piece is also switched off and so this also needs to be enabled. While I can likely batch update this too I have to do some deeper tests before I do that as enabling that may have a default position for the controls that drastically affects the sound making it different than what it should so it is not a simple case to just enable it. I don't have the time to really dive that deep at the moment

Progress Update: Omnisphere 3…. Serious Doubts…

So I have managed to spend a few weeks, update all my scripting, adapted everything to work with the new library formats and tagging and improved all the tag masking to convert all the Category, Type, Mood, Keyword, Group tags to NKS compatible tags, a massive undertaking but the process is now all working and can run without intervention.

However….

After some initial tests have all proved successful I have crunched some numbers and realised a rather serious issue here.

Omnisphere exports preset data in a very inefficient text format which for Omnisphere 3 with all the new features and 4 layers of controls, is 376kb per NKS file. To export all tagging and also add some extra tags to the files so I can manipulate the tagging of banks, each preset takes about 40 seconds to generate.

Omnisphere 3 comes with 41,000 presets

So if we were to just calculate 1 machine running 24/7 to export these presets would be 40 seconds x 41,000 / 60 minutes / 24hrs in a day = 1138 Days or 3 years to process.

Then if we look at the 376kb per file x 41,000 files / 1024 per MB / 1024 per GB = 14.7GB without previews, likely double that with previews so a total of 30GB of space would be needed just for the NKS files

So, this is now a serious problem I have to figure out if it is both worth the time and if anyone will want approx 15GB of NKS files on ther system. I can likely get the time it takes each preset down to about 10 seconds because at the moment in testing I am writing every extra tag into temporary tags so I can check the accuracy of NKS tagging so I won't need to write Mood, Timbre, Keywords, Group etc as these are all converted to NKS character and "Type 2" tagging but I still need things like Version written to a temp tag.

Just starting to dawn how big this library actually is and it may require splitting it up but I first have to really calculate the time it will take, I haven't even started on designing a new template yet….
