An update from Nick Williams, CEO of Native Instruments – Native Instruments Blog

 

I want to share a direct update on the restructuring process underway here at Native Instruments. Business continues as usual across Native Instruments, iZotope, Plugin Alliance, and Brainworx. Our products, platforms, services, downloads, and customer service remain fully available.

The support we are receiving from our partners, artists, and community has been extraordinary. This loyalty isn’t something we take for granted, and it’s a reflection of what Native Instruments means to the people and businesses we work with every day.

At the end of January I said: “We are working diligently and responsibly to secure a healthy, financially sustainable future for Native Instruments.” This remains true – and our determination to achieve a sustainable future is strengthened and energised by your support.

We are currently in an active M&A process that is progressing well, with strong interest from multiple parties with deep roots in audio and technology. We see a clear path to achieve our goal to provide continuity for creators, customers, and partners.

As part of the restructuring process, Native Instruments GmbH and a number of our German entities will shortly be moving through expected legal steps, including transitioning from “preliminary insolvency” into formal “insolvency” proceedings where applicable. These are expected steps in the process we are working through.

What gives me confidence in our future isn’t just the progress we’re making – it’s also the extraordinary passion and dedication of the entire team here at Native Instruments. We continue to deliver every day, building and shipping products, and looking after our customers.

We’ll continue to share significant updates as we have them.

Great discount to bring down my favourite libs to $54

What are your favs?

I’ve been tempted by Voices of Soul and the Hollywood Backup Singers. Both seem like they’d be a blast to use on soulful tracks.

As a drummer, I played with a lot of different bands over the years. not just rock stuff like I’ve been recording. I worked through a couple of agents and sometimes replaced drummers at gigs. While I think I was easily most talented as a rock drummer, I played rock, jazz, blues, R&B, funk and dance music. The last project I had before my injury was with an incredibly talented gospel vocalist where we were working on my neo-soul-type arrangements of classic R&B tunes. I have some original songs I wrote for that project and could imagine using some of those background vocals could be pretty cool for that. But considering my very mediocre voice, I’m uncertain if I’ll ever attempt to record them. I’ve ended up recording a lot of covers of songs Lennon wrote and sang because they’re super easy to play and sing. But my musical tastes are pretty wide-ranging.

Your friend who keeps the beat. I suppose I’m also the chef at this place.

Same for me. I own Hollywood Backup Singers which are great. To complete the setup I will by Voices of Soul. For this price it’s a No brainer.

No Problem Peter. It‘s good to test all the features during our „test run“.

This and other 2 free libraries refuse to autorise 🙁

 

Drag the downloaded library into REmatrix in order to install it.
IF ASKED FOR A SERIAL, CLICK CANCEL: the library will be authorized anyway.

 

Not for me.

New album soon!

Strange. I have problems with this one. All others are ok.
