Biggest sale of the year! 50% off most software-Native Instruments Black Friday Cybersale 2023 

Happy Movember! As a prostate cancer survivor I have participated since 2015. I lost my grandfather and my dad to prostate cancer and unfortunately have been familiar. Thank you for using your platform to highlight this. Appreciate u!

Hey Jef. You look like a science teacher now. Lol. Thanks for the continued info via your channel. Cheers man!

Thanks for the shout out Jef😁

Great video! Glad you enjoyed the track! 😁

Another side to you jeff. Brother you never cease to amaze. I recently stated, because I to have had the absolute joyous privilege of having taught young minds, that there are few things more rewarding to the soul that being in service of others. And being a teacher is a service. So I thank you for that my friend. Keep up the great work as always

Top Notch Stache, Jef. Thanks for the reminder about Strat Violin. Been meaning to visit that

Love the mustache. I upgraded my NI bundle this year and have been happy with it. For me, I let it sit several years between upgrades. Was at least 3 years this time… but yeah… great stuff. Honestly I got a lot more from this upgrade compared to daw upgrades…

Did pick up Komplete 14 standard last summer for €199 here! That's what i love from Native Instruments, always keeping things active for customers as a business though. Wanting the mk3 keyboard but waiting on what updates they are going to add as you adviced. Meanwhile learning and happy with my A49 & Maschine mk3. Great channel, thanks! Sporting a slick mo too, all year 😂😊

Wow! 70k subs. Didn’t know you teach music production - excellent! [I gotta friend in Kitchener/Waterloo that does the same - when not running his studio]. Sporting the stash for Movember is honourable too!

Hahaha, I love their track and music clip. Awesome!

This was a nice surprise. Usually cyber season is 50% off individual instruments, but looks like summer of sound came early! I’m already on K14 CE, so I’m just hanging around waiting for Orchestral Tools Metropolis Ark to go on sale (we both know that’s unlikely 😂). You’re right about the strings/orchestra - they are good, but a little dated I feel. I’ve actually been looking at those Teletone Audio Kontakt instruments lately - bought electro which is excellent and now they have a little 30% off sale going, so I expect that’s where my $ will be going in the next couple of weeks. Hope you’re well!

Nice video again. I thought that NI only discounted their individual libraries instead of the full Komplete which, as far as I know, would only go on sale during the Summer of Sound. I already upgrade to the latest Komplete this summer. Really nice stuff.

Have said it before, to me you are one of the best educators on the internet. I am now a Maschine MK3 user (thanks to you). The MK3 is a formidable machine, as a guitarist I've never been comfortable with keyboards, but with the MK3 I get the tone in my "fingers". If it's okay, I'd like to add some comments. I'm going to upgrade the Komplete Collector Edition, and I think Piano Colors looks interesting, also the Kontakt 7 full version, Lores, all the expansions for Maschine and 9 expansions for Massive X. I think Massive X is a bit tricky to master, but when it comes to sounds it's top notch. Therefore, expansion packs are welcome. Cheers.

Hi Jef.I recently bought Komplete 14 on sale.I saw your video on how to turn the maschine expansions into kits to use in other programs.when u convert it using kitmaker does it completely change all the files into mpc format, or does it take multiple conversions to achieve. Can you do an in depth video on it? I know that you use maschine but, I recently bought a used mpc live 2 that came with lots of sound kits, splice samples,and mpc expansions pre purchased by the former owner. I have a problem. I have an external drive installed in the bottom of my mpc live 2. How do i access the kits, splice samples, and mpc expansions on it without ejecting the external hard drive out of it? Thank you.

Great overview Jef. What is the best option for NI orchestral legato strings and phrases.

Ok so I got the Jef Gibbons hook stuck in my head.... lol I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on Mikro... and get the Komplete Ultimate Update loveandpeace.

Am on K13 Standard, it says that the upgrade to 14 price is the same from 2-13, so unless it changes, there's got to be something that really warrants spending on the upgrade, as it can always wait for the next Komplete release and sale.

You convinced me i really dont need to upgrade from select with the other stuff i have. Think my plugins this black friday are gonna be Arturia FX col for 69, UAD essentials for 49 and a bunch of 2notes cabs. Maybe Shaperbox

Waiting ♥️ Komplete COLLECTOR'S 15 ♥️

Any insight on when a Komplete 15 announcement will be coming?

Complete 15 should be next month right?

I could afford Komplete Ultimate at the current price (coming from Select), but on the other hand I think to myself: it's still just a hobby at the moment. I don't earn a penny with it. What appeals to me about Ultimate are the cinematic plugins. Unfortunately, these are missing in Standard.

The tache is a movember thing right?

I was hoping Session Percussionist would be on sale.

Damn I wasn't ready for the mustache. What a French guy! 👨🏽‍🎨👨 I already had Komplete 13 Ultimate Collectors Edition, but native offers me an upgrade to 14 for 250$ I guess it's a good deal, but the products they include in the upgrade package are not inspiring. If there were session bassist / percussionist and more new maschine expansions in it, I would consider upgrading.

I went to NI and once again (and for over three months) the Kontrol K88 Keyboard is out of stock. Have they decided not to manufacture this keyboard anymore?

So damn expensive! With the discount, Komplete 14 Standard is *approaching* what I might be able to afford, but damn. So frustrating. I'm not a producer, don't sell my music... hell, I don't even really share it all that much. I just like making music as a hobby, it's one of my creative outlets and also a stress-reliever/escape. I also don't make that much money, so a lot of this software is pretty much out of reach. All I can do is watch videos and tutorials on youtube of people playing with them, and just sit here drooling lol Can anyone recommend other products that maybe are similar to Komplete and other NI products that might also be classed and priced more affordably? Product lines for the casual home studio, beginners, etc.?

I’m not purchasing anything from NI until their next Komplete release and summer sale. I have more than enough to hold me over till then.

man! Renew your mustache I liked

Did you just start growing your mustache in November or well before it looks like you've been growing it for a year already

I don't look now, but you got something under your nose on your lip lol
