Hello, if I want to record videos and share them on youtube, is there a hint a that my kontakt is cracked ?
What should I avoid showing ?

 

Avoid showing that you have small fortune in libraries.

 

It's always the libraries that gave it away. From the picture you are casually showing you spent around USD4k for that 7 kontakt libraries. If the arrogance in your voice, skills, room environment in the video couldn't match to a certain level, people will know, even worse the dev will chase you haha. I can tell under 5 seconds and I dont know much about orchestral stuff. Metropolis Ark is around 500, Cinestring solo 400, Spitfire, 350 each ? something like that haha

 

the scrollbar button is so tiny... yes, i'd bet all the money i've done with music that you use a cracked kontakt + libs (around 100 €)

 

*note to self* never show the left panel

 

Avoid showing your full plugin list too, sample library folder, especially if you have small fortune in them too, there's always tons of them and occasionally some nfo's slip in and than they have.name.like.this which original doesn't have, with added bonus of team name that supplied them and so on.

Maybe it's time to start looking into free libraries? (might not be kontakt)

More installed libraries makes the little scroll bar look like you have even more stuff. That little grey dot to the right corner above Elysium. He probably has like 50 installed.

I would only use DAW Stock stuff and stuff I have paid for. If you are going to advertise someone who you do not know's product for them; they could either give you a free copy or pay you.

actually I have 200 installed and 2026 tracks in my template

*don't look at me like that* I just enjoy collectionning and having fun with sounds

 

So you'll make the bet using "exposure" then

 

you what ?

 

No one really knows how the legit Kontakt window looks like, you are safe

 

Nothing wrong with that hobby of yours but then why do you bother going public and eventually monetize this since you didn't buy these libs (did you actually buy anything audio related)?

 

here we go

 

If you want people to be able to afford everything they use before they actually make any money off of it, feel free to buy it all for them

 

Learning all this stuff is pretty difficult for many people. That's why there are a million production tutorials on Youtube. Anyone with money can just go buy some shit.

 

TBH I can certainly tell you nobody would even care if you aren't popular if you're and if people actually cared then they would think you made money and have a lot of libraries.

 

Changing your identity with plastic surgeries may cost less than all these Kontakt libraries. You have the choice.

I was going to suggest just unticking a bunch in the Manage Library tab to hide them when you want to record a vid, but with that amount you'd probably get RSI
