Native instruments 50% Off, 5 Plugins You Can Pick!
A few minutes ago like probably many of you, I received an email from Native instruments with a great deal, 50% Off all Instruments and Effects for the next 5 days.
I’m probably not the only one who got really excited about this thing as I’ve been trying to purchase a plugin from almost an hour now and Native Instruments Website has been experiencing High Traffic problems on their server since I first got there, which means a hell lot of people are trying to take advantage of the offer (can’t blame them).
So how can you decide which plugin to pick?
Well it of course depends by the ones you have already, but if you are new to Native Intruments world my 1st pick would definitely be Massive, (which was actually my 1st pick when they did this same offer last year), Massive is a great piece of software especially for EDM, trance, house, drum & Bass, and Dub Step are filled of sounds coming from this synth which makes it in my opinion the nr.1 candidate for this offer.
Second pick for me is Kontakt 4 (which is what I’m going to buy as soon as NI website will let me), A little bit more expensive than the other plugins but this thing has a total different technology and once you have this monster the things you can do are never ending.
Not to talk about the number of libraries out there, orchestral sounds, pianos, strings special effects, moog samples, whatever you want!
For those who don’t know, Kontakt is a SAMPLER so it won’t be able to generate the sound as a synth does, you will need to load some samples in it, kontak reads various formats, from his own extention .KTK, to EXS, AKAI, REX and of course you can create your own maps by loading your own wav / aiff files.
Position Number 3 FM8 which should jump at number 1 if you are an anjunadeep / 80s music fan, FM8 is a recreation of the well known synth by Yamaha the DX-7, which along with some Korg and Roland synths shaped THE sound of the 80s.
Fm8 is a little bit hard to get on when it comes to program but the factory presets are great and very useful and you can always find some tuts around about FM synthesis.
4th position Reaktor…This thing is not for newbies, reaktor is a modular monster synthesizer which is why you have to be a little bit experienced if you want to use it at its best.
Good think though it comes with plenty of pre-made synths called ensembles, and there is a big community on NI’s forum where users share their own ensembles some for free some for fee.
Pick number 5 : Absynth this one is great to create atmosphere sounds and gritty acid noises, but also amazing for pads and (with some programming) basslines.
If ‘d have pick the plugin for how cool they are this would definitely be the first, but I’m trying to suggest which one might be better for EDM productions and despite its coolness, absynth is definitely better when it comes to background sounds rather than Leads or Bass.
