About Sine Player

Sine Player Pros and Cons
Pros
Quality
Orchestral tools sine player is amazing! It has so many quality of life features that are frankly amazing. My most favourite is the ability to create preset mic presets and render them out to files, so that you don't have to have all the mic layers opened while working to help you save RAM.
Ease of Use
The sine player is very easy to use, and is very intuitive. It is very easy to learn and use, and is very user friendly.
Support
Orchestral tools has some of the best support in the industry. They are very responsive and helpful, and are always willing to help you with any issues you may have.
Ecosystem
The Orchestral Tools ecosystem is amazing. They have a wide range of libraries that are all compatible with the sine player, and they all work together very well, there are a few strange choices where libraries don't match up exactly, but they are few and far between.
Cons
Vendor Lock-In
Sine is the proprietary player for orchestral tools libraries, and while it is free, it is required to use their libraries. This can be seen as a form of vendor lock-in, as the user is required to use their software to access the libraries they have purchased. You may wish to use a different player, but you will not be able to access the libraries you have purchased. This is a very common practice in the industry, but it is something to be aware of. It is also something that I personally do not mind, as I believe the player is very good. But it is something to be aware of.
Cost
While the player can be used for free, the orchestal tools lineup of libraries are some of the most expensive on the market. (Granted, I do believe they are worth it). But this can be a hidden cost that many people may not take into account.
