Here are some common questions asked about the NKS libraries
Yes these NKS presets will work with ALL the latest Maschine/Komplete Kontrol software and hardware
Check in the Factory library at the bottom of the library that the volume slider for previews is turned up. There is no volume control for the User library in the current versions of the software. Otherwise check that the preset folders contain a .preview folder inside (it may be hidden)
Well you get what you pay for. It is easy enough for people to save NKS files using Komplete Kontrol and put a library together but often what most libraries lack is a lack of experienced design and attention to detail. In many cases, things like control templates are either just auto-generated, lacking proper layout or not all that intuitive and tagging can sometimes either be completely missing or not conforming to NKS standards.
Another thing lacking is updates and maiintenance. All Freelance Soundlabs NKS libraries are fully maintained to work on the latest versions of plugins and we aim to solve most issues within days. Feedback is very positive, just check our facebook page
We have been designing and managing NKS librarioes for 7+ years and it is the generous suppoort of users that helps us support more libraries so if you are lookiong for well designed and managed libraries that save you time and work how you expect, look no further.
Tags have been formatted to fit with the NKS standard as much as possible. This requires renaming some tags or consolidating similar tags to improve browsing as much as possible. If you happen to notice anything that needs fixing just let me know and I will get it fixed up. Donors will receive free updates to the preset libraries when these are pushed to the site so worth the time to report if it's something major.
If you are having issues with installing and using the presets, check out the Forum Thread to ask other users who may have some solutions.
You should now receive a download link straight away and also emailed to your PayPal/Website accounts email.
If you have not received anything or something has gone wrong feel free to contact me and be sure to include your PayPal email address or copy of the transaction and I will fix it up for you.
I can only create presets for instruments I own or have a copy of and the list I am working on. I am always on the lookout for new VST instruments at good prices so may do more down the track. If you are able to offer me a legal copy of a VST or can transfer me the library I can have a look if it is possible to make NKS compatible. If you are a plugin vendor it may also be possible to add NKS compatibility for official factory inclusion. Feel free to contact me.
Sorry it’s just not possible as I don't use a single process to make NKS libraries, every instrument has a different process and some are done almost purely by hand tho I find ways to automate the process as much as I can, there is simply no magic solution to make NKS files due to the vast differences in how VSTs store their information.
I am always happy to work with users as long as expectations are realistic. All prices are in Australian $ which works out to be about 40% less than USD and I have all the same real world costs as everyone (website costs, purchasing all the VST and libraries, tax, time...). All income generated is appreciated and assists in developing future libraries but of course when you have a large collection of NKS libraries it can add up so feel free to get in touch.
Here are just a few of the projects we have been involved with apart from our own projects for your interest. Many of the projects we assist with are films for festivals and competitions and as such cannot be released to the public outside official screenings. As they complete their journey through the film community they will be hosted online and available. Here we can show some of the ones released for public view and some trailers released for others.
