Works like a champ

by Raymond Lee from Girard, Ohio

Music Background: Hobbyist / future producer
Having come from the Acid Pro 6 Kompatk. (A scaled down version). I already knew the samples would be outstanding. What I couldn't have guessed at was how simple and seamless the installation and migr... read more [+]ation would be. After the install finished it took only seconds to start sampling and realizing the potential. To anyone who's interested...great strings great piano's, and a great program. Good Luck. close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Carson McClain
Kontakt has found its way on to many serious musicians' computers for many years now, and just about every sound and sample library has come with a Kontakt player. If you've been eager to crossgrade for your other sample playback plug-in, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. The level of creativity with Kontakt never ends. You can perform with this plug-in, play back just about any type of sample you own, and you can grow your sample library with the 32GB library that comes with this! That is pure insanity. If value is what you want, that is what you will get. Not to mention an amazing instrument that will improve any of your compositions.

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
