K8U is the best thing to happen to my creativity

I initially became aware Komplete 8 Ultimate due to the flagship products like Guitar Rig, Kontakt, and Reaktor. Those three alone were worth the price of the bundle IMO.
But then I began to research everything included... and WOW!
The highest quality products, and (contrary to what you might hear) wonderful service is what I already knew to expect from Native Instruments after my time with Maschine.
But the detail and inspiring sounds contained in this bundle (from the instruments to the effects) have cemented Native Instruments' place in my sonic arsenal.

... If only they would follow me on Twitter :p:

Stunning...

Having only used the Klassik Keys bundle from Native Instruments, I was not that familiar with the other Native Instruments libraries. Let me tell ya, the sound sets in this bundle are worth every penny! Many of the sample libraries are absolutely stunning. You get the full Battery, Evolve Mutations I & II, Heavyocity, Studio Drums / Abbey Road drums, Scarbee libraries, Massive, FM8, Guitar Rig 5, everything that Native Instruments offers (except for the absolute newest libraries - Damage). I have tons of other sound libraries, and the samples and sound sets in this bundle compete with them all. If you are a composer, songwriter, hobbyist, or full-blow studio geek, you absolutely will not regret purchasing this bundle. The quality of sounds is inspiring! You will spend days exploring the possibilities. If you want an all-inclusive bundle that will fit your every need, this will do it. i have absolutely no regrets or complaints about this bundle. Get it!

A Mixed Bag

Unquestionably a huge amount of content. It takes weeks to explore everything that's included. Most everything is of high quality. Standouts include the Alicia's Keys piano, the Razor synth, Guitar Rig, and the Scarbee electric pianos.

On the downside, the concert pianos aren't great. Some of the other instruments are CPU/memory hogs. Also, it's a bit weird that some of the instruments need to be loaded into Reaktor rather than functioning as a standalone VST, and the vintage compressors need to be invoked from within Guitar Rig (?!)
