no you GOD DAMN DO NOT HAVE A SECRET *stomps foot*

The actual Kontakt Factory Library (43 GB) gives you more than just a string ensemble. Here's what it hands you in just the string section: -Violin Ensemble -Violin Solo -Viola Ensemble -Viola Solo -Cello Ensemble -Cello Solo -Double Bass Ensemble -Double Bass Solo -Harp -String Ensemble In brass, you get french horn e+s, trumpet e+s, trombone e+s, tuba s, brass ensemble. Woodwinds (really good, btw) give you bass clarinet, bassoon (and bassoon combi), clarinet (and clarinet combi), contrabassoon, english horn, flute, french oboe, oboe, and piccolo. You also get some nice pianos, organs and a harpsichord. And you get Kontakt Choirs, which sound pretty sweet in slower contexts.

It's easily the best party game ever made.

You don't pick up a "copy" of Maschine. It's a hardware unit; you pick up an actual Maschine. >_>

I'm not sure you understand what intuitive means, and how a lack thereof harms the creative process. I paid ridiculous money for this gear in order to streamline the music making process. It better work; now it does.

:D :D !!! (more edamame adventures, i foresee)

I'll be there. So you better be.

Had this fixed by Snappleman, sorry for not saying! Also, ASIO4ALL is a horrid driver. It doesn't let anything else on your computer output sound.

Didn't get work on a VGM OST. I am doing sound effects for an app, though. Half-resolved.

Please, I really need help with this. I have seriously no where to go. Native Instruments support won't even look at me. I did a clean install onto a new SSD, and still have the same problem. When I run FL with ASIO4ALL, it snaps loaded right away. When I change it to AK1 ASIO driver, it crashes immediately. When I load Kontakt, it crashes immediately (same for all other NI products). Reinstalled drivers several times, tried different USB cables and ports. Is it really time for me to get a new audio interface?

... *cough*

Spring is March 21st (equinox) to June 21st (solstice). Let's stick to actual definitions, and not argue opinionated perception of the seasons, plz.

This is the most unhelpful snide piece of advice I've seen in quite a long time.

A minor key is just a major key starting at a different note.

hey WAS SARCASM BRU

People want online because they're too lonely to invite their own friends over. sarcasm for you hater types

... lolwhat

...? are they not

The thing here is cost, Mirbz. Why pay $350 for a Wii U to play Batman when you can get an Xbox 360 to play Batman for $200 with the same performance? That's the question posed by the people who are hating on the system because of its (apparently lackluster) 3rd party ports. If you cite the first party games as a reason to get the system, you're just slapped in the face with "they suck", so you can't really win the argument here. So rather than try and disprove haters, it's better to spend your time enjoying your own Wii U.

If you're only picky about the small things, it means you have nothing big to gripe about.

The blatant problem with trying to pull a FLAC torrent together is that hundreds of mixes would be left out, due to people losing project files (thus not being able to render wavs to convert) and people just either not responding to emails or have left OCR in general. OCR is not some team or company, it's just a bunch of random, friendly people submitting songs. So as ideal as it sounds, it's probably never going to happen.

Disclaimer: Brad is in no way liable of any stupid shit I tell you guys.

The concept of humanizing (here) refers to taking something digitally perfect and manually putting imperfection into it to imitate human-style playback. It has nothing to do with taking a really bad performance and cleaning it up, and yes, if your DAW doesn't support some sort of sensitivity on the quantize, then you should stop using it if you want to imitate human performance. There's a difference between having a well-humanized section and being bad at piano.

Bro got one, played at his house for a few hours. All I can say is OH MY GOD YES

It's a patch with programming in it that lets you access all of the sections inside one patch. It intelligently decides what wav files to play based on your chosen grouping. For instance, if I wanted to double flutes and violas in just one MIDI channel, I'd activate both of them, and then when I trigger a note, the programming decides "play the flute section note C wav file and the viola section note C wav file". And then you can split it further, to have the viola-flute double on the left hand and a brass section on the right, and that can be a combination of the 4 sections or just 1 of them (or it can be a combination of any brass sections and any string sections or any woodwinds). It's up to you to decide. It's basically a gigantic make-your-orchestra patch. You decide which sections are playing and in what range. But you could just as well load 16 of these and activate only 1 section for each, to have the more commonly perceived MIDI channel per instrument. If you wanted to get mathy, the number of combinations you can do here are (I think there are 16 sections here?) up to 16! which is 16 factorial, so 16 x 15 x 14 etc down to 1, which is almost 21 trillion combinations, with probably only 00.000000000001% (so leftover is like 2,100?) of that being realistic (so NOT something like doubling violin with a timpani, cymbal and bass clarinet, all the way to something like ALL THE THINGS AT ONCE), which is still ridiculously huge. In fact, it'd be pretty fair to say no one would do more than say 4 sections at a time unless they had a crazy idea, so that comes to 16 * 15 * 14 * 13, which is a little over 40,000 possible combinations, again, with a lot being unrealistic, but it demonstrates that you really can do anything humanly conceivable here. So it's kind of like an intelligent, dynamic multi, yes.
