Was it worth the price tag?
A bit overpriced for reasons listed below.
Did you choose this over another library?
Yes.
What did you compare it to?
Other ILIO library, Burning Grooves (not a straight comparison as the target syles for each is different).
What are your favorite sounds?
The snares. Just as important were the grooves that the drummers had.
Are all the sounds usable?
Yes. However, at the price, having the tracks as individually mic'ed would have really been nice.
Are there a wide variety of sounds, or is the library very specialized?
Specialized.
