If you look forward, the trend is to make drum sounds from scratch like in KONG or BPM.

The future of drum sounds is in drum synthesizers not samples! I’m willing to tag by hand the 100 out of 8,000 sounds from a quality plug-in like TRillian or Omnisphere! I’ll sit at my computer for an hour and tag my favorite GEIST kits or BPM kits so I can use them in MASCHINE! DON’T THINK WE DON’T HAVE THE DISCIPLINE or PATIENCE (that’s what they’re banking on) In the old days we all did it by hand!
NATIVE INSTRUMENTS KOMPLETE 8 KONTAKT PLUS
In today’s economy, you can’t just charge what you always have plus a 20% increase! THere is a lot of competition out there ans all we have to do is let them know that we don’t need their “preset BROWSER integration” (oh by the way, which should have been there in the first place!). It cost tooo much! And don’t give me that damn “well $199.00 isn’t a lot of money for me to upgrade! now hold on to your jock DRUM ROLL PLEASE! It’s time for the “Whole number increase” tah dah KOMPLETE 8! Now you’re having “orgasm”, taking out home mortgages, taking your girlfriend to cheap restaurants and generally speaking “spending money some of us don’t really have! KOMPLETELY outrageous! Now, you’re so “grateful” that they added something like “midi” “THEY ADDED MIDI!” O.K. Next they really get you “creamy” with the “.5” release! This is the release where they put in every essential and obvious thing that they took out before they even released the product in the beginning. First they know the minute you buy something you want to know “when will their be an update?” That’s when the NI Maschine (no pun intended) starts going! First, they understand that you guys get a “woody” for every incremental decimal increase like maschine 1.1 or maschine 1.3. You know, executives in companies like NI do consumer profiles on people like the one on this forum. You’re contributing to the NI “gearlust” anticipation in their business plan! Get creative and make you own sound from scratch! MuhSheen is right, I’ve seen it and you’ve seen it! By the time you load the 240 gig hardrive on your 250 hard drive some creative person has already used the new MASSIVE or REAKTOR patch! Now here you “Johnny Come Lately” sounding like every latest record already out.

Listen, everyone and their momma is going to buy KOMPLETE 8 and start the obligatory ”who can use that new sound in their record release first competition!” Yeah you know Mr.

You will have a canned sound if all you use are NI KOMPLETE 8 sounds. I know this is obvious but really think about it any sound you may need is just a VST away if you don’t already have it in your library! #4 Maschine has VST and AU integration you don’t need 10,000 different sounds! Check what I’m saying and really look over all the sounds from all your VST or hardware synths! (Stop and think about it! No, I mean REALLY STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT! Other than Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer piano’s and maybe clavinets emulations, you probably have very good sounding instruments already in your library. You already have every instrument and sound that KOMPLETE 8 has to offer you don’t need another 9,000 more If they need a different drum sound they’ll tweak the envelopes or pitch something maschine can do too.ģ. Most of the “top shelf” producers have 5 maybe 6 drum kits that they use all the time. You really only need 5 go to drum kits not 5,000 sounds! Any sound KOMPLETE 8 says they have or can make you really can make it yourself with a little self-sacrifice!Ģ. With the new sample mapping system it’s a little easier than before. (Duh! That’s right! Hook up your favorite analog synth and sample it. #1 Maschine is a sampler! You can sample all of the sounds you REALLY need So I wanted to inform some of you “newbies” and “novices” of 8 reasons why you should wring dry your panties about this KOMPLETE 8! HERE WE GO #1 So I come form a background of “original sonic ingredients and done by hand straight to tape environments. I originally started making house music in the 80’s with just our TB-303 and TR 909. I make Golden Era Hip hop and R n B music with a combination of MASCHINE, SP1200’s & MPC 60. I want to help a few of you before you loose your house or your girlfriend! You can thank me later though!įirst a little background about the author of this post. MuhSheen taking time out to chime in on this KOMPLETELY ridiculous 8th version of inKOMPLETE 8 instruments. Hey Maschine heads, this is the original Mr.
