how is halion sonic?

so i wanted to upgrade my sounds and i was thinking of picking up hypersonic 2 thing is it is completely wiped off the market. So i came across halion sonic - the demo songs sound HORRIBLE totally generic computer music, does it actually serve as strong update to hypersonic or would i be better off finding a second hand copy of hypersonic? Thanks!!

Steinberg just sucks at doing demos.

People that bought it have been putting up their own clips. I heard some over on KVR recently, sounds great far as I can tell.

never even checked it out. But companies are notorious for putting up uninspiring demos. Never understood it...

it's actually a pretty decent plugin, I can't comment on how it relates to hypersonic as I never used hypersonic

From what I heard the license for Halion Sonic will work with Hypersonic 2 so if you can get a hold of the discs I think it might work.

All demos of that Sonic thing sound horrible indeed. I own Hypersonic 2 and it has very few usable sounds. Don't waste your money on it...Now there's that thing called Omnisphere...

And omnisphere doesn't have 99% unusable sounds?

Better watch out using that t word they banned people for saying that stuff around here. Serious I was talking about who do that stuff in a different thread and received a warning for using that word.
