    Hi guys,

    I'm currently in the process of putting together my own synth sample library and want to sell it on the internet.

    I've already put together some nki's with the samples, and it all works fine on my cracked Kontakt, however my question is will the people who have legit Kontakt be able to run my library?

    Cheers bros.

    You might run into some issues if NI finds out you dont own a legit version of Kontakt as a developer - on the other hand....... if you´re planing making money selling your creations/libraries I think it´s fair you actually buy and support Kontakt wich is the software that allows you to make money?!?

    My 50 cents

    yeah but still. If you want to sell something, you should own the plugins. Even if its only for one project you release.

    EDIT: Its a different story if you release it as a freebie charging no money.

    Why bother with someone who has no ethics? Dude wants to use an illegal copy of a software to make money.

    ah yes; the holier-than-thou ethicists who probably think Immanuel Kant was an accountant, or something equally uneducated; all lined up and ready to cast the first stones.

    What is neglected to take into account here, is the fact that you won't sell anything either way and such discussion is pointless.

    A person making a pet project at home is NOT commercial use. It is just WISHFUL thinking.

    put the fkn tiki torches away.

    NI barely has people for tech support and (non-sample library) software development. I doubt they have manpower sufficient for combing the details of small scale sample libraries

    Also, there is something called
    Audio watermark
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_watermark

    If you use any software with this in it, chances are high that users who bought it want a refund. At worst, they'll sue you for everything. The compensation can be massive depending on which country you are in.

    The easiest way is to just sell your wave files (If they not from a k´ed Serum or something )
    If you are smart enough. Make your own webspace like:
    https://www.ghosthack.de/

    Sell they ,just as presets, is also an option.

    But there is one simple rule, if you use stuff from R2R or VR or who ever did their magic.

    DON'T MAKE MONEY WITH THEIR STUFF.

    yep. 00n3 comes to mind as someone who created several very good kontakt libraries and gave them all away for free.

    It's legal here so I'll pass on your ditchweed and grow my fkn own. only recent confusion about my nickname because of some emulators and Behringers. I got a purple thumb. :rofl:

    Speaking of names, What sort of "Fishing" is it called when caucasian men use fake Japanese names online? Like some Kardashian or something. Ohayu Hikaru!! How is Cleveland? "I don't live in Ohio". ;)


    maybe you could explain something like Categorical Imperatives. more worthy of someone with your distinguished work spouting ethics which do not even apply to a situation. it doesn't make you look moral; it makes you a moron. those are the sorts of tactics typically used when someone has simply overplayed an indefensible hand.


    Oh, now I get it. You are the guy who uses Soundcloud's algorithm for his compressor and limiter!

    :rofl:


    Still mad? the ones after that got much better. after a bunch of capable people babysat and did your mixing for you. you're welcome. sometimes people worry about their own work more than others'. solve all this ethical confusion for you right there … if he doesn't want to end up selling anything; why don't you link him your work to sample from.
