Thanx a lot Brian....!! I`m 57 years old , still trying and learning to make "music" 🤭..greeting s from Germany . Very good job !!🤙
-
Incredible session from Brian - please much more like this, use Brian for individual lessons on the Komplete instruments! Other NI presnters should note Brians calm style!
-
This was brilliant. I was so intimidated by Kontakt 7; it's my first full Kontakt that I've bought, having only used the Kontakt Player before. I'm stunned by everything I've learned in just this hour - suddenly a new world of sound has opened! Things I had no idea Kontakt could do! Thank you so much, Brian! I'll be coming back to this frequently, until I get more accustomed to everything I can do.
-
If you listened for 1 minute to each of the 85,000 presets, it would take 2 months non-stop to hear them all.
-
Brian, you are a great teacher. All the content of Kontact 7 perfectly and simply to the point. I have saved the video to refer back to again and again. Looking forward to the next tutorial.
-
I'm 56 and learning to play Piano and Synth, Looking forward to diving into this. a very smart purchase....😁
-
Thanks Brian, I'm so encouraged! Great Job. Thanks for being so detailed in each section. Looking forward to more uploads.
-
Really Awesome tutorials! Looking foward to the next episode of this Kontakt 7 series, such as how to create our own instrument, instead of manipulating the existing licensed instrument library. Thanks!
-
Thank you for this clear and useful tutorial. I've used Kontakt over 2 years now. In one short video I've gone from being intimidated by all the functions of the header section to "oh, I get it" and looking forward to using more of the features. Cheers!
-
Nice tutorial! I have barely used Kontakt so far, but this makes manipulating so much easier. Instead of just poking around to see what I can do, which is my normal MO, I can actually move around with a bit more confidence and purpose. Thank you!
-
Great tutorial. Very focused, no wasted time, great audio, well scripted, no bs, just good solid working information on a complex app. Well done man.
-
Brian, that is one of the best how-to-use videos I've seen. The new browser took me a minute to learn; I can't imagine not having it, especially with all the latest instruments available. My confusion was creating a multi-instrument. When loading the first instrument, the instrument header showed the snapshot view, and it didn't occur to me to click the Info button to set my multi-instrument outputs.
-
Thank you for making this video!!! Sorta new to Kontakt, but never really took advantage of what it truly offers. Being the visual learner that I am, this helped tremendously
-
Finally - A great instructional video for NI. Just loaded 7 and the improvements are awesome. Using this software?, the best in instruments, I advise watching the entire video.
-
Excellent tutorial. No BS, straight to the point, no ads!!!! Thank you. 💜
-
This is easy to follow teaching along with a clearly visible screen. Thank you.
-
Great video Brian. I'm using Kontakt 7 from first time and I learn a lot with this video. Thanks
-
I came looking for copper and I found gold, please, continue with the how to use series, I´m looking forward for massive and reaktor lessons, 😈 big thanks Brian and NI. 😃
-
Native instruments out here giving high quality software along with high quality tutorials! No need to go to any other YouTube channel to learn this software. Wish all companies could do the same.
-
This is a FANTASTIC tutorial Brian, thank you so much for putting it together. You made the process so easy and I learned so much!
