Gravity is the latest instrument from the expert sound designers at Heavyocity. It consists of pads, risers, stings, and some hits. If you want a very singular sound for your pads, then Gravity is a must have. In addition to Heavyocity's Punish and Twist controls, it has added effects such as chorus, reverb, delay, and distortion. Like all of their instruments, Gravity leans towards cinematic type sounds but it's quite useful for electronic music as well. I highly recommend this Kontakt library, along with everything else made by Heavyocity.
This is a great MIDI controller for Ableton Live. Everything is mapped out and it's very easy to use. The pads are responsive, but a bit small and the knobs work quite well. My only complaint is that it feels cheaply made. It's all plastic. Other than that I recommend it.
These drums are very nice. They have a BIG sound that you can make bigger with Heavyocity's trademark Punish knob. It has 4 different kit sets with a lot of samples and loops which allow for a high level of customization when composing with it. Note: Native Instruments does NOT make Damage. It is made by Heavyocity, but it is sold with Komplete.
This is a software drum machine unlike any other on the market. Made by Heavyocity, this drum machine is a a compliment to any genre you might make. It gives a high level of control over the sounds with built in effects and Heavyocity's Punish knob, which really makes things sound heavy and dirty all at once. The Heavyocity brand is among the best in the industry. If you want drums that you can tweak to a sound all your own, then this Kontakt instrument is for you.
Ableton has an intuitive workflow that compliments creativity. I'm a recent convert to the software and while it was quite a change from the others I use I'm really loving it. I would say it's an artist's DAW. Though it is lacking in mixing and mastering tools, but we use Studio One for that. I can't recommend Ableton enough for the musician, though!
It adds things that the previous software lacked. More Massive presets, more Komplete instruments, and a drum synth.
Nice playing keys. It isn't a full on DAW controller like the Axiom or Oxygen but it works quite nicely.
I got Massive along with Maschine when I bought it. This synth is incredibly diverse sounding and easy to use. We recommend it!
Kjwise has been a Reason customer for a long time now. It's hardware style interface is perfect for his workflow. The sound quality and ease of creating new and interesting sounds are perfect for him, making Propellerhead's Reason his weapon of choice.
This guitar plays and sounds great. It's light but it has a big tone like a Les Paul. The set neck is thin and very easy to play. Once dialed it this guitar will hold it's tuning.
Former Chill Member dBlue is on the development team for Renoise. It is by far the best tracker on the market, and it's the only tracker based DAW. We endorse this DAW!
Illformed a.k.a. dBlue is a former member of Chill Productions. Glitch2 is a very useful tool for creating stutters, tape stops, gating, etc. We endorse this plugin!
We own FL Studio but use it sporadically. It's piano roll, step sequencer, playlist editor, etc. are all great but the sound quality is a major step back from Studio One. We would never do a final mixdown inside of FL.
To say this pedal is strange is an understatement. To say it's strange to the point that it's almost unusable is probably more accurate. People will shell out big bucks to get it, but when they do they find it's not what they thought it would be. The string synth sounds really good and that is about it. We have it, we don't use it.
The Maschine is great for tracking drums. Responsive pads, and a workflow anyone can wrap their head around.
We use Studio One almost exclusively. It's workflow and sound quality are top notch.
