Native Instruments - Rammfire

Have a look at one of the new SoundPacks included in Komplete 7... RammFire watch the video if you want a good live sound taste.

In my younger days I used to listen to a lot of Heavy Metal and among my favorites was Rammstien, I couldn't understand a thing they were saying but the riffs and heaviness of the music actually brought me closer to Hard Trance and into modern Dance Music. To listen to this pack takes me back but also gives me hope that a unique sound from a non-electronic genre can be emulated well enough to make it difficult to determine which is the "real" sound.

With those sort of sounds you might even give DeathFace a run for his hardness factor

Komplete 7

I live in Australia and am loving the Aussie Dollar doing so well against the US dollar. So even though I bought Komplete 6 about a year ago I think it would be a good time to take the plunge and get 7.

The main difference in the two is they have finally bundled a lot of their Kore SoundPacks together and put them in the Komplete package. I've been interested in getting some of them for a while but never been able to choose one that I thought was significantly better than the others from the samples I heard on their new site.

Funny thing is its cheaper buying from Amazon than getting direct from Native Instruments itself ?:)

ASK Video Tutorials

I've been using Sonic Academy for a while now but for a different approach to tutorials I can also highly recommend ASK Videos. I have had the Cubase 4 DVDs for over a year now but they recently had a sale which I bought their Native Instruments Absynth and Battery tutorials as well as their two Ableton Live 8 videos. They seem to be moving to a more download only approach but I had no problems with it. My only gripe is the videos are encrypted so I can only watch them on my computer which is annoying, punish the good to get at the wicked:(
