I Mean, they'll most likely be cracked eventually, but both of them were developed with lots of help, but I was wondering if they're worth using especially for hiphop/trap? Or is this simply more cookie cutter crap like the plugins released from cymatics...

Yes and yes,

Murda beats is overhyped, but doeant mean its not good, its a nice little multi-utility plugin with a bunch of fx that can actually shape and help design awesome melodies, doesnt always work for me but its definitely a cute lil thang to have when you have an artist in the room and want to 'spice things up'

Cradle The Prince, its nice, but nothing special really... the sounds are nice and modern (or intentionally vintage) you wont find any out dates sylenth1 sounding presets, but also not special sounds that will blow your mind.
The workflow is nice tho with the two layers of sources, allowing you to design the sounds a bit further than simply a rompler, but it doesnt go too deep as well - which i think is a plus for a production tool thats supposed to help you generate ideas and stay inspired.
Its a nice sounding plugin, but not $100+ plugin in my opinion... for $49-$69 sure... but at its current price, AND the annoying copy protection method (use their app, and have to be online once every 30 days) its a no go for me

 

Artist collaborations these days are used by plugin companies for advertising purposes to make money. I wonder if those artists actually participated in plug-in development or if they really put their know-how into plug-ins. Anyway, we all know how to make lo-fi sampling sounds. I recommend that you learn jazz chords, learn how to compose, and learn how to play the piano. there will be better progress in your music

 

Murda Melodies and The Prince have both been cracked. I've messed around with the fx plugin and it's honestly very decent if you want something that's all in one similar to RC 20. The Prince is pretty meh in my opinion I see people talking about it like it's the best sounding thing ever but the patches in there sound like Analog Lab presets and banks that I've heard before.

 

this is also count as dedication; learning about everything there is to learn, new stuff and whatnot. What about you ? you suppose to get busy with all the glory of your career because you have everything you need and the formula ? I don't see Chris Lord Alge or Skrillex or some shit hangin' in here giving tips for success.

 

Frank Dukes???......thought he was a Kickboxer

 

I understand you very well. At the beginning, too, I was always looking for the latest and hottest product. I've probably watched a whole year of tutorials, masterclasses, etc .. The truth is that I spent a year updating myself, maybe even learning a few things, but I haven't grown musically. Once I got rid of hundreds of plugins, pressures and fears I started thinking only about how to write and arrange better. I believe that when you produce poorly, tens of thousands of dollars worth of software won't make it sound better. On the contrary, with few resources but good compositional ideas and arrangements you can get fantastic results. I'm not here to teach anyone anything, I'm just a random guy on a forum. I just shared my experience.
I know it may sound strange to you, but from personal experience, almost all of Max Martin's reverbs are Valhalla and AIR.

 

I completely agree with you

 

why would I want to use plugins,..that will reinforce "their sound signature"...... I don't care for spreading their "signature sound".
