r/spitfireaudio

I cannot explain with words how much I despise this company and their platforms. I have been trying to redownload BBC Discover on a different computer and they make it the most painful process possible. Never have I ever needed to look after a file like the .nicit file like it's a goddamn baby for me to be able to redownload their shit. Even after transporting it from one computer to another it magically disappears, and now I can't "Add Product" on their garbage application for a free fucking sound library. It's beyond me why everyone rants and raves about how amazing Spitfire is and how brilliant BBC Discover is when they make it nigh impossible to use their fucking platforms for a mediocre sound library in the first place.

As the title suggests, im done with spitfire audio apps. I love all the libraries that they gathered, first app was brilliant!, but since the v2 app and then splice instrument, libraries go missing every few weeks, relocating and repairing is painfully slow and for a quick session the last thing i want is have to DO the manual locating, sometimes hard drive clogging because it downloads it again OR waiting for a repair.

I'm looking for a way or for someone who traveled the same path of trying and succeeding to load their wonderful libs into some other other player with whatever workaround vibecoded appburger that turned out to be a small, simple and no-bs alternative to having the privilege of playing with their packs without the use of their app.

I'm devastated cause this was one of my go to for everything VSTs and they chose to fix what aint broken and make it broken so there's something to fix.

Sorry for this venting but after seeing my projects (that i forgot to print the audio...) lost behind the time and labor based paywall for the gazzillionth time im full of dedication to find the alternative ways for it

TL;DR: how to use LABS packs i own with other vst lib players
