You can (or could, if things have changed?) get a very substantial discount on Kontakt5 by using ownership of a qualifying Kontakt instrument package.

I guess you've already bought and paid for full Kontakt5? Thanks for all the suggestions and help (I'm sure I'll be back) I'm also looking at SampleTank and the Sennheiser drum set (ummm is that German?) And two of the three I were most interested in (Choir/Orchestral)were not there. I had already downloaded the 111 page documentation that included all 7.īut when it came down to actually downloading the sounds(?). sorry, don't know the lingo yet) included in the library. Funny thing, when I was looking at the NI site a few days ago, there were 7 (groups/patches/samples. Well I pulled the trigger and downloaded Kontakt 5 and the Factory library. If you are getting the idea that the market, pricing and deals involving plugins is a bit bonkers, that's because it is.

It also has qualified users for a much cheaper upgrade to full NI Kontakt5 (which is extra nice in the 50% off Summer sales). You won't need those.ĭrum Mica has the quality you would expect from a premium drum package as it is a showpiece for Sennheiser microphones.

The latest and best sample instruments tend to be big download and relatively high price (relative to the initial purchase). The difference between Kontakt5's sample instruments and additional add on packs/instruments for Kontakt is again another hike in quality, albeit at a premium. The difference between a light rompler like Xpand and a relatively beefy rompler like Sample Tank 3 or Kontakt5 is sample instrument quality.

That's half way towards the brilliant Pianoteq for instance (which has numerous great free instruments). That's quite a chunk towards a better quality sample or physical modelling product. It may still be possible to get it dirt cheap now?

Here is a full free drum set that will work in Kontakt player without restrictions:Ī lot of users here have AIR's Xpand!2 because it was available for £1/$1 for quite a long time. Demo them both to see which you prefer, or maybe you'll decide there's enough in the free samples.įree instruments in Sample Tank 3 and Kontakt 'Player' will get you a few sounds worth using. Kontakt is the 'industry standard', but SampleTank is good value and has plenty of satisfied customers. There is plenty to be going on with in those free samples.

You will have drums, bass, organs, piano, I think guitar, plus there are inbuilt effects like amps and stomp box type effects as well. Start with the free versions of Kontakt and SampleTank I linked to above. Any pitfalls (or downright junk) that I should be aware of? (this would be the if it seems too good to be true type of stuff). Guess I'm looking for a sampler for starters - seems like Kontakt is very well known - Komplete may be more than I can handle right now. Basically looking for those well know sounds (bass/guitar/drums/keys) to record my own stuff - changing the lyrics is about as creative as I get. I won't be getting into creating electronic sounds anytime soon. Apologies for the low level of knowledge. Maybe I just need to find a DAW dictionary. What 'type' of downloads might I be looking for? I'm very basic - 4-6 instruments (sounds) and 3-4 part vocal harmony. all I want to do is find some sounds that I can download, open Reaper, click on a sound and start recording that sound through my keyboard. I really don't know what to ask you guys. These both seem to be the same thing to me. I don't know the difference between 'a bundle of instruments, and a sample player which comes with a library of sounds.' (crap, that's painful to admit). One is a bundle of instruments and effects, while the other is a sample player which comes with a library of sounds.' The person wrote back: 'The two products are difficult to compare, as they are so different. I was reading on the Native Instruments web page, and someone who was new to NI was asking advice regarding Kontakt 5 and Komplete 11 Select. From the file: If you don't share your ignorance, you get to keep it.
