    It's always pleasurable to read something funny first thing when you wake up. Thanks! :wink:

    Create the same exported wav file with a cracked and legit copy (do this with massive too if you want). Now invert the phase of one and combine the two files into a single stereo track. Now listen to it. You won't hear anything. You know why? Because the sound is the same. Screw peoples' opinions. Post scientific facts or don't bother.

    You do need a legit kontakt to test. You cannot compare NCW to WAV they are different file formats and the way they are being triggered will also have an effect, it would be of no surprise to me if the library in kontakt has some further processing inside of kontakt whereas the regular wav file will have none of this processing as it's not being played in kontakt and it's outside the library in a track on your daw it's just not a fair test and I guarantee you that you are wrong, you are delusional and paranoid to think cracked software sounds worse than legit, if you really think cracked software sounds shit then just buy the software and put your mind at ease although it's a completely unnecessary reason to do so.

    According to sources, the bitter comes out better on a stolen guitar, so maybe Opie's on to something. Well trolled, OP :)

    The irony is, super silly threads like this wind up being some of the longest threads on the forum. Really funny. It's like the OP isn't reading is own words, other peoples' words, or some combination of the two. The OP is literally saying what they are doing wrong, as compared to other members' instructions.

    I bet the OP doesn't ever bother to do this once though.:dunno:

    Thread title doesn't even make sense if you didn't compare cracked/legit Kontakt versions.

    You must be doing something wrong, because it nulls here.

    In Kontakt, make sure to set the mode to "Sampler", disable "Tracking", set to "HQI: Perfect", and delete any amplifier mods, such as Velocity and Volume ADSR.

    Also, you might need to save and reload your project after adjusting those modes noted above.

    This is so ridiculous it makes me want to make two files of the same sound because I have a legit Kontakt also. But I don't really have time for it all now. Take some unprotected library, load it in legit Kontakt and cracked Kontakt and export the audio and then you can compare. Not by comparing direct WAV to Kontakt output in DAW.

    I feel obliged to put in my 2 cents worth: in many cases cracked software sounds superior to purchased, due to it not searching for legitimate licenses and using precious CPU cycles: I have purchased a great deal of software, but find much of the cracked, superior, if for one I don't have to 'beg' for change of computer, which is so benign; did I not pay my hard earned cash for this product! Counting through my software: roughly a third I use, which is purchased, is cracked. re: NI and their ridiculous Access program: when I purchased Spitfire Evolutions I complained to them about the necessary use of NI Access and their answer to me 'We have advanced systems to protect all our customers against fraudulent transactions...' My DAW is not connected to the internet for such good reasoning and experience, so basically any software which requires Online registration is of no interest to me, unless it is cracked! Robin Hood lives on :)

    It is certainly appears to be true that legit Microsoft Word prints better than cracked Microsoft Word, or it might just have been my new reading glasses?

    This is the divine karmish punishment by R2R for those east barbarian repackagers and while we are at it non-R2R-legit mirrorr-uploaders are not in phased harmony with the scene, and ...
    oh wait, R2R are pirates too :rofl:

    Mine sounds good cos it's "different".

    Who wants to sound like Justin Bieber anyway with his perfectly pure .wav files.

    do you know for this?
    1. Open FM8 or Massive, in stand-alone mode (or from the daw)
    2. Go to File>Options>Database
    3. At bottom of Database options, you will see a drop-down with a label above it called 'Database Hit-Count Display'. Click on the arrow for that drop-down, and change the option to 'None'.
    (sure thing that first time will loading for ages but after that is always there and its fine)
