Let's face it, it's insanely good, you just have to be able to live with the fact that you'll never use it all.
The only thing that is really worth it for me is Kontakt. Which is sold separately
Yep. Them taking Absynth out😅 sucks.
I am ok with that. I go for UCE and upgrade pretty much every couple of years.
@@beautifulcaramelman eh yeah, but... With Complete almost every instruments works in Kontakt
@@frankwalders all u need is the paid verison of kontakt and u got acess to every kontakt libary their are atleast 20tbss of kntakt libaries there is defentiley way more thats just the ammount of libaries i counted offf of one site
The fact is that Komplete is never really complete.
One thing I hate about NI is they make Uninstalling the most painful experience, add a uninstall button like every other product manager 🤦
Absolutely! Also if you have a drive with a couple tb of instruments and you get a new computer, you cannot reuse the content without downloading again. No relocate... No reuse of files.
Lol when torrents let you do all of this but the legit product doesn't 😫😂
OMG THIS! Seriously getting rid of a piece of NI is like trying to get rid of HERPES. Iike it might look gone, but you can bet its still there. Though I did only find this to be a WINDOWS thing, Its MUCH more straightforward on MAC..... so maybe its less of an NI thing and more of a windows thing? I dont know every time i add or remove a piece of audio hardware or audio software to my PC set up EVERYTHING seems to get borked.
Buy a Mac i guess?
@@koenigneroit's as painful on the mac for a lot of their products.
It installs some plugins to like 5 or 6 locations
I really wish they would spend more time refining their old products (Massive, FM8, Absynth), instead of just dumping huge amounts of new sounds, expansions packs and kontakt instruments that almost never gets used. I am dying for a resizable window for FM8, updated GUI for 4k/8k displays etc......
I mixed some of the drums on Empire Breaks. Glad you liked the pack. Your videos are awesome! Keep doing what you’re doing 👍
Huge
That’s awesome! Great work friend 🎹
I love empire breaks, I use them constantly
You didn't even scratch the surface of the cool stuff (for those who aren't familiar with older libraries). Things like "Thrill" and "Rise and Hit" are insanely good. "Mystique" and "Straylight" are amazing too.
Straylight is goated
Rose and hit is one of my favorites. So easy to pick transition FX's. I make music for television and those are my go tos.
One of the few channels I follow. You do a great job. Love your straight forward reviews. :)
Comparing with whatever hardware synth the possibilities are endless! The downside is it doesn't challenge us getting everything out of limited tools. Really dive into a single synth or plugin and get to know and understand it deeply, often sparks more creativity from inside instead of a external plugin. Putting effort in a sound will make it much more alive and personal! (my two cents to all of this 😉 )
as I see it, what really makes this update worth it is ozone and the bx tools together with a massive new amount of stuff compared to previous editions
Most accurate review of Komplete I’ve ever seen! I have 12 collector’s edition and I think 14 ultimate is a massive update from 12 considering all the play library’s, and mixing plugins. I really don’t use any of the expansions so no need for collectors edition this round I’d say.
Some of the good Kontakt instruments are only available in the Collectors Edition version.
@@tilllanglo5316 That's true, but once you go down that route, the update price is higher for each tier and also as each komplete comes around, some libraries from a higher tier can become available in a lower tier
I think standard and ultimate offer the best bang for your buck in terms of content depending on whether you are a producer or a composer
If you really want the symphony series collection, then it might be worth it, but you can get a crossgrade if you own komplete standard or ultimate, also ultimate does give you the essential series and the new orchestral tools samples taken from the Berlin series, plus all the cinematic libraries
Really enjoyed this video, thank you. 🎹♥️
Playbox alone is a BEAST of a tool. I'm considering an MK3, Komplete 14, and ditching all my other shit.
I’m interested, what’s the other gear you’ll ditch?
@@GarfRichards All of the gear I had that was made for Ableton. Of course, now they have the Push 3! 🫣
@@treyhudson73 Typical timing 😂
Great video thank you. I haven’t finished watching it yet but already subscribed because of your vibe. Nice bro. 🎹
This is the BEST overview of Komplete 14 - with or without the sarcastic truth. Unknowingly, you gave me a roadmap to review my recent upgrade to KK 14 from 13. I appreciate it ❤
I wish NI kept up with their Synths and Effects. All they do nowadays is sound packs... Lets get a Massive X Update and some modernized Reaktor Ensembles like Rounds 2.0 or Razor 2.0
Dude, you give stand up comedy a shot this video had me cracking up 🤣. I came here after another video that made me feel like Komplete was about to change my life🤩
The fickle finger of funny! 😮
Thanks for the review. Not that I have any immediate plans of purchasing this.. but as you clearly put a lot of effort into putting this together I've watched this review in its entirety. You're welcome.
I’m on Komplete 13 collectors edition now. Thinking of waiting until summer for a 50% off upgrades sale again. 😂
That is my plan as well. So 14 uce next year and 15 a year or two later.
Hi! Any idea when the sale usually is?
@@sixstab2967 i can’t remember exactly when it started. But they call it “Summer of Sound” sale or something like that. So around July or so I would guess.
@@sixstab2967 my fault. Just googled it, and they started June 1st last year. So check around then. Lol
@@camdonhill thnx man! Im looking to buy the collectors edition. Im getting the sl88 keyboard as well and thinking avout machine+
I have had nothing but problems using Native Instruments software. Relentless crashes, some tracks refusing to open that I have worked on for a long time and one of the worst attitudes to customer support. If you use Reason 12 especially I would avoid them. But I found them worse in Ableton. A lot of money hasn been wasted on their software by me and I really regret it.
What customer support?
now but the upgrade, peasant. And dont forget to buy some expansions.
Which version were you using?
Ayyyyyy!! I never hear anyone reference Eskmo, that dudes always been one of my favorite sound designers.
Thank you for your honesty personally and truth😂😂👍
Thank you very helpful 👍
I kept watching because of your sense of humor lol.
Companies know exactly what they are doing it’s business… if they give us what we want now … how do they get us to buy the next version. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Still on 12 and only gonna upgrade if any of the plugs stop working on my Mac
A LOT of great stuff in there. Soul Sessions is surprising because it actually fits ALL types of genres extremely well. Do not let the name lock you into thinking soul only.
26:42 🤣🤣 yes, I found this out the hard way. All that downloading, and barely anything usable in there.
No one said it was unusable tho...
I'm waiting for the summer sale so I can get it cheaper since they didn't give a deal on it this holiday season
You did mention in the video that 'there's nothing like it'. This day and age - that says a lot. As an owner, it is hard to 'select and build sounds', but I haven't found something comparable. I really like it!
Super dope vid!
I have NI ultimate 13. It has some descent stuff, but I think I used only about 3% of that stuff.
You should do one now of Arcade/Output… it’s starting to come in my feed now!
I just picked up the ultimate cause it was on sale for half off, honestly though I’m most excited to use Ashlight for my EDM stuff, I feel like that’s gonna be a lot of fun to use
Great work. We need more real music reviewers in the space.
bro i always wanted dis plugin thx for dis vid
thanks for running thru this... I was contemplating getting it and at least I got to see some of the stuff in it. Still on the fence but may upgrade it... some of the guitars and pianos are really nice in this bundle
I swear I wish you did this before Black Friday...but luckily everything you said was very infornative and I had bought the Standard Bundle because it provided a substantial amount I believed was worth even the $599. However...I am a orchestral beat lover...im just broke.
This may sound weird, but Komplete makes me want to go full hardware.
This don’t sound weird to me at all! I was not the least impressed by any of the sounds demoed here. I have the feeling NI is still as crappy as it was when I bought Komplete 8. Shitloads of samples I never used. Later I bought an old Roland XV-5050 to find out it sounds so way superior - by taking only a few Megabytes. Could bite my ass off for ever have gotten in touch with AI.
I have komplete 14 ultimate and I don’t regret getting it. I use them on my projects since I got it. It’s very nice and basically all I need. I got a ssd for my libraries.
do you think its worth upgrading from komplete 13 to 14?
@@kjellbeats if the Black Friday deal is still on. It’s definitely worth it.
But I’d say you should check out the new plugins they have and libraries if you really do need them. If you don’t. Then there’s no reason to upgrade. You can check out preview videos on RUclips and the preset.
That was what I did before getting it.
It’s good to have an idea of what you’re getting, if it’s really what you need.
@@JhazzyMusic thanks!
@@JhazzyMusic I agree but I think that the Summer of Sound sale NI usually has is even better for the price. Usually 50%. So instead of paying 6 hundred and change for the K14 Collectors, it should come down to 3 hundred and change. Close to $400. My wallet's not so deep so I'll wait for the summer sale. I like working with the Orchestra sounds so I feel that the Collectors edition is worth it but as stated by others, if you're not planning on doing much with the Orchestra tools then the Ultimate is a the better version to get.
@@johnborges9201 yes. That’s true. I had to wait till Black Friday before I got it. I also upgraded my Ableton to suite 😂.
battery doesnt work on mine ... i can prehear the sounds but if i try to load anything i get an error that says "battery could not be loaded " "ERROR"
do you get a discount if you already own some of the plugins in the komplete bundle?
I just upgraded to the Ultimate Bundle which i Love. Dont see any reason to get the Collectors though 😂
bro, I own Komplete 14 ultimate and I don't make too much orchestral music, that moment at 3:00 was a personal attack LMAO and It hurted so good. Love you Weaver!
Just starting out - this would be perfect. For me it would just be duplicating almost everything pointlessly.
I bought 14 Collector's Edition. LOL....dude you're hilarious. I'm laughing so hard. LOL
Those expansions are great sounds but I'm always worried about using them cause of copyright lol!
I LOVE battery 4! It is my go to sampler and drum machine! I have all my kits saved in it too!
Another thing that's a pain is that alot of the expansions you have to like dig to get to then load into kits yourself.
Like I wld rather 1/2 the packs, if they were already loaded in kits!
I'm on like 12 or 13 too lol
Wow, your hair has grown since yesterday? Amazing....
TMT is just a fancy term for "yo, we let you apply an offset to the frequency and gain of each filter, but we don't want you to know what exactly the offset is so here you have a bunch of presets for that to choose from, byeee".
as you can probably tell, i'm not a fan. i mean, i do love the idea to add L/R or M/S offsets to filters, but the UX to hide that behind cryptically labeled buttons is just utter nonsense that only appeals to those who believe only the very specific offsets that were introduced by random consoles are good for music production for some reason. they should have just made that a bunch of knobs.
I’m on the fence. I have K12 and I’m considering going to K14 but I might wait for K15 when NI adds Sandbox, Mangler and an OP-1 DIY kit. Oh and a Pvlace sample pack. Take all my money at that point. 😁
HAHA Nice
Right on bruh.
The brainworx stuff absolutely rules. Got them through Plugin Alliance pre-teamup and love what comes out of them.
i have 9 ultimate and really want to upgrade, but geez man. i dont have disc space for all this crap lol
awesome vid. much edit 🤏💯
It's a good day when weaver drops
Are the orchestral libraries up to the standard for scoring now? last i checked even eastwest had them beat
Eh, spitfire or heavyocity still have some way better Kontakt libraries
@@ghostplayermusic True, but have you checked their prices? definitely NI doesn't have the best libraries, but they are still great for the price.
I had the Komplete 11 and it was overkill for my needs. Now I use mostly hardware synths and that simplifies my life. But my Virus has thousands of presets so never run out of options for hardware ideas.
I waanna buy arturia 88 mk2. Can I make it work with kontakt and change the effect parameters of an instrument? Can I navigate thru instruments with the middle knob?
Can you download these sounds on your hard drive and run them from hard drive on your machine software?
"Playbox is what Sandbox wished it could be". FATALITY!
I bought Lores last week and haven't even tested it out yet because I've been so busy. Into the trash!? Nooooo!
The biggest issue us dealing with the install and disk space. 10 TB drive is really making sense. How to back that up? Cloud is expensive too for that size.
A 2tb has been working fine for me so far. 🎹♥️
so you're saying for beat making the standard version is enough bro?
NA is one of the best values in music, just take it on over time and it don’t stress your bank account - unless you have money to burn upfront front ;) Think I started with the basic freebie pack-in option in 2018, now I have the top tier collector’s edition for 14. If you need the instruments* it’s easy and affordable enough to just jump up to higher tiers over time during yearly sales!
Yup! This is my plan. I’m getting a NA keyboard and it comes with Komplete 14 Select. I’m probably gonna upgrade incrementally until I get the complete package
Is that Cowboy Bebop as BGM? You have my subscription!
You did the lord's work, my friend. Thanks for powering through it. Very helpful.
Another thing.
Although these things are like really expensive, we have a better chance of getting it for absolutely free (yes, officially), compared to other companies' bundles. Even the Collectors' edition one.
But how?
@@unbreakablealex2732 Metapop
I’ve been using maschine since like 2012, started with the MK1 & now own MK2 & MK3. I had been on maschine 1.7 for the longest time & would use massive. I went to update massive & when I loaded a project, I realized a lot of my patches had reset. I had bass lines & custom settings on projects that all got reset to factory sound. I reached out to them & their best response was that it was my fault because I didn’t keep up with the updates. Biggest let down ever, I wouldn’t update cause things were running fine. No one updates when they are in a functioning version, that’s just my experience.
I installed it and then I back it up every night to my NAS.
Lol funny af bro
Thanks. I should stop moaning about the size of the sample libraries and be thankful I don't deal with video files. But I'm not going to because I'm a miserable old curmudgeon.
Rather than make music, I just listen to delivered beats, samples and presets in Komplete. Maybe I’ll compose something more significant than a 4 or 8 bar thing next year. 😢
I have to chime in on one thing, as a music composer and producer working on video game content - Action Strings, while it was never the best sounding library (nor were Emotive Strings), the all around versatility of the instrument ended up in so many movie/games music scores. I have templates for most of those things, but still when I want to quickly draft a string part, I use action strings quite often. It been almost 10 years now, Action strings + Action Strikes are two unbeatable libraries for quick epic music. You can change sounds later, East West offers better sounds in general, but it is still a great thing to have. Sorry for focusing on one product only, while you are reviewing the entire bundle. On that note, I use Komplete for ages now and while they do tend to cram in some average stuff, overal it is one of the best all arounder stuff you can get.
Total Studio Max 3.5 is a really good alternative (probably even better).. and is on offer at just 200$ right now..
So I'm fairly new to music production and enjoyed watching this. I think some of the NI stuff is amazing, and my strategy so far has been to get stuff when it's on offer, so I first got Kontakt 6, when it was on offer (and further discounted after a crossgrade from the free Arcane - Embertone)
I've also just picked up Select, because it came free with the Mashine Mikro Mk3, which was the same price and good fun to use (though not quite as simple to use with Ableton as I'd maybe hoped) and I also REALLY like some of the Expansion Packs..
I'm hoping now that if NI do a summer discount on Standard, I might be able to crossgrade for a reasonable sum from Select?
The other option you haven't mentioned is Komplete Now, which again I'm not sure is great value for money, but it does come with a few extras like Battery, Playbox, Empire Breaks which I don't have yet. And because I got a Focusrite interface, I'm entitled to 3 months free subscription, so I can trial and decide if it's worth investing in the rest?
K14 Standard is around 7K + worth of stuff at less than 10% of its individually priced/purchased value. That’s over 90% off. It’s an insanely good deal. I was offered the crossgrade option with 30% less then this already great price. If you’re updating from previous its 60% less. Sure you’ll probably never use 80% of these plugins but even using 20% will cover the cost. And you own them. It’s not a subscription. Certainly don’t need it and it’s still more than a few cents out the pocket but if you’ve got expendable and you produce using DAW’s and digital systems, it’s a really good deal.
💯🤣💯
Why Glaze sounded more like keys and Ignition Keys more like vocals?
tbf i picked random presets, the overall design of glaze was supposed to be centered around vocals though.
BundleBoyz we in the building
I don't miss what I never had. I don't have any kontact and I am fine.
❤️
Kontakt is like around 14yrs old and sounds okay, but its not progressed well.
UVI Falcon smashes kontakt out of the park, and Falcon is a synth too.
im that ocds guy i need everything i like to many sounds it gives me options i can write a melody and just flip through instruments and never run out
I upgrade every couple of years. I have 12UCE and because of NI’s Summer of Sale, in my account, 14UCE will cost me just over 200 - no brainer upgrade for me! Thanks, man!
This video persuaded me to look elsewhere for virtual instruments. Thank you.
you would think for something called komplete they wouldnt need to make a second one let alone 14 of them.
It's for those kinds of people who when trying to buy a Pc are like: hello computer guy, please give me a high-end computer, so I can watch Netflix on it, or apple buyers.
Pick any library from any version of the Komplete series, there are 10 other libraries that do the job better, it's for lazy people.
@@deadlyrobot5179 what are the ten other libraries?
@@remymonro6043 Just pick a library from the Komplete, anything, Choir, orchestral, piano...etc
with a simple googling, you'll find something much, much better.
@@deadlyrobot5179 Netflix is like the Komplete Now collection where they keep updating it per the subscription. The reason there are 14 Kompletes is because the company is constantly evolving and improving, it’s a rather petty argument to harp on the name being akin to ‘Complete’. The truth is, any one of the Ultimate Komplete editions will set you for life, but if you wanna stay on the cutting edge of things you’ll upgrade. It’s kinda like music, you don’t need to listen to every song to enjoy the music, you could just listen to one playlist, but new albums help enhance your playlist further.
@@deadlyrobot5179can you name some for me please? Would help. Ten would be even better
NI has become a marketing machine is about all..
Dated..
90% of these sounds are garbage and outdated. Komplete series only makes sense if you dont have kontakt to begin with. If you do have it, then do your research on what sounds you actually want and just buy that library. This way you wont have 15 libraries where you only use 5 sounds from. Buying a library that has nothing but strings or choirs makes alot more sense than buying a library thats trying to do everything.
Everything NI makes sounds the same as it did in 2010 when I bought the Maschine MK1! Still using those same libraries in Komplete 😂
You can import your own samples into Ashlight, even the demo!
So I’ve got collectors 13! I think it’s fantastic *IF* you get on super sale & you don’t own a lot of things.
I effectively got it for 1/3 of the price. To me the ~$200 price difference was worth it for a few reasons:
- arkhis is worth that alone - it’s quick and easy to create movement straight away (think spitfire evos)
- I don’t think they’re the best violins but from spitfire & OT it would have cost more then the difference.
- you’re not going to use all the expansion packs but there was some dnb & bass music which were only available via collectors. I was looking at buying them already as I love my machine.
I’m not saying it’s for everyone- however I do think there’s a lot of value in collectors if you don’t own much stuff, and want to get started with everything you need.
i just upgrade from version 11. well worth it for me.
23:46 I'm in tears 😂😂😂
The only things i cared about Komplete was...
Kontakt, Reaktor, FM8, Massive and Absynth.
And now absynth is out of the equation 😢
I'm amused you immediately put the factory library 2 in the trash. The reality is that what new stuff they did add is insanely good value. For example, the orchestral samples that were developed by Orchestral tools. Sure, they can be redundant, but their dynamic range is unique enough to be part of my pallet, even though I've spent thousands on other higher-quality orchestras.
I suspect they see the Msschine factory library as one of their bigger mistakes - a groovebox and sampler that comes with 8GB of samples and infinite effect capability =- not a lot of reason to buy packs.
Native Access it’s a real pain in the ass. library managing, installation errors, concession of permission to folders for it to work and many other things in order to keep it working make abandoned NI. Also customer service it’s a joke when you got troubles. So no more money from my pocket to this shitty company.
This 👏🏽 . I’ve used NI Komplete for years now, but I’ve had enough; and trying to transition to other options from Serum, Korg and Apple . Frustrating having NI apps not work or errors every few months , interfaces still suck, and customer service is almost nonexistent.
I have Komplete 12. In truth I have quite a few plugins besides. I don't use it much. (I've had Komplete since 5, sometimes skipping updates, but to be frank, in almost every area, there are better synths and sounds out there. I tend to use Kontakt and Battery, but not their libraries, and I plan to have a good go with FM8 to get my head around FM synthesis. At some point I'll give Massive X a go, though I never got into Massive.)
I have 13 CE ..I'll wait for the sale ...upgrade
I would love to get komplete 14 but it's so expensive
Does anyone miss evolve (mutations (2))? (From Komplete 13 )
Is "Damage" a full replacement for those guys?
S'why are folks looking for updates on kontakt player giving the update 4/10 score where they are much more familiar with kontakt where others are giving the complete standard or whatever 10/10 score, might it be natibmve basically just added tonnes of orchestral movie samples and no real positive change to the players ui and functionality??
Seriously I'm asking, did they make any real updates/upgrades to the existing virtual controllers? And vat ver vey hmm ya?
👍🏾
I always picture some rich dude with all this crap, and still can't even play row row row your boat on a keyboard :/ You can buy all the noises in the world, and still not make even a down payment on talent.
Best thing you can do: buy Kontakt, 3/4 Spitfire Audio Libries and that’s it. The Native Instrumenta Libraties is shit compared to Spitfire Audio Libraries.
The last update I got was 12 I think. I just don't see a reason yet to pay the price for an update.
