GSO Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Komplete 9 Ultimate FTW! Who agrees or disagrees? Used here Quote
Nabeel Ansari Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 It's all right. The sample side of Komplete is kind of weak; the draw of Kontakt is 3rd party libraries. Quote
Meteo Xavier Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 A less hardcore response would read: "Yeah, KOMPLETE libraries aren't the best around, but if you know what you're doing and put some elbow grease on it, you can make high quality tracks all the same." Quote
timaeus222 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) It's more hyped up than "OMGSOEASYTOUSETOMAKEGOODMUSIC". It's really not only about what you have, but how well you can use it. Getting the whole thing at once is just like buying a whole bunch of gizmos that each come with long instruction manuals. You have to learn it all, or you won't get your money's worth. Kontakt with external libraries of your choosing is a great deal that's much more suited to the person and actually reflects your likes. Edited March 8, 2014 by timaeus222 Quote
Skrypnyk Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Komplete 9 Ultimate FTW! Who agrees or disagrees?Used here This isn't a thread to shamefully promote your own music is it? It would be rather deceiving to make a thread about a collection of products only to end up linking to your work, regardless of whether or not you actually used said product in your work. It would be better for you to explain why you find Komplete 9 Ultimate to be the win. I got the K9 upgrade. I do like the transient master plugin, but I haven't really used anything else from K9.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the transient master with Komplete 9 the same as the one in Guitar Rig 5 (or whatever came with Komplete 8 )? Apart from the fact it's a separate VST, I mean. Just curious to see if it was upgraded or improved in some way. Whichever transient shaper I've got that came with Komplete 8 is awesome. Edited March 8, 2014 by ectogemia Quote

I dunno, but the Transient Master component in Guitar Rig 5 saved me the $100 of actually buying it separately. (Side note: I also find it kind of strange that NI doesn't give instruction manuals to their plugins separately/for free. I mean, they're instruction manuals to commercial items. What would they lose? It's not the actual product. ) Edited March 8, 2014 by timaeus222 Quote
Nase Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 They're great instruments, it's a good deal, and no one in the world really needs them all. Take your picks and learn to use those well. I'll never get komplete because the picking process takes away too much time from making music for me. Quote
Argle Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Too much filler, but not a bad purchase for someone who doesn't own any individual NI products. You can't say that you're being shortchanged on content. Quote

I upgraded from Komplete 4 so I need to spend some more time with Guitar Rig 5. (Side note: I also find it kind of strange that NI doesn't give instruction manuals to their plugins separately/for free. I mean, they're instruction manuals to commercial items. What would they lose? It's not the actual product. ) It did come with physical copies of instruction manuals for Komplete 3 and 4. My guess is to save money they stopped mass producing a bunch of little books and just have a digital copy online. Quote

I have no idea why I didn't see that earlier. xD Quote

Meteo Xavier Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 How ironic. How vague, late and probably arrogant as opposed to something decent and useful. Anyway, enough of that now. I'm a bit anxious for Komplete 10 to come out. If it comes with Action Strikes and Battery 4 or ANY of the Heavyocity stuff, it'll be super hard for me to resist. Just now looking at 9 and I see Battery 4's already in it. Ooh lordy, that's already tempting. Quote
ShrackAttack Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 K9U is definitely a good deal even though a ton of the "ultimate" stuff is super fluff you would never really use. I think I paid roughly 220$ for Komplete 7 on ebay from Buy.com a couple years back and then upgraded to K9U for 325$ in December. A lot of stuff for only 550$ over the years. Quote
