All user reviews for the Native Instruments Reaktor 4

In this new version, the installation itself glides like a letter in the mail ...
But beware prvoir Internet connection for registration proximity.
The advantage is that the USB dongle is dbarrassse.
The I / O configuration is as simple as Audio Version 3, same as MIDI.
Double doc: for functions and for librairie.cool.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use it on a DELL Inspiron 5100, P IV 2.4 with a card ECHO LAYLA and link to the studio, and with a USB AUDIOPHILE dplacement.
The Soft and the platforms of the library work fine, beware that some are Native download on the site ...
Admittedly against by the trend Pentium IV is felt and it take Whereas for intensive use.

OVERALL OPINION

I use REAKTOR since its first version, so I think well know ... and a powerful sound Fast Fashion, probably the concept to virtual sounds and ambiences of the most original march that makes me forgive him his "characters".
The new version finally allows grate all display resolutions audio samples in Wav.
and new modules to transform each platform in a software vritable Entire hand, is more crazy! (Menus, options ,....)
This product is DDIS fans new and original sound ......

I use reaktor since version 3, it was the default of a USB key that NCESS silent vritable a disability in an i-book not possdant only two USB ports. with version 4 the default has gone, the installation was trouble-free Mac OS X 10.2. the default is the ct of updates that do not automatically like a lot of software. Audio MIDI setup is clear and simple, its behavior as a VST plug-in is exemplary. BMOL big is the manual, it is standard but contains nothing INTERESTED, it does not help the handling, it directs you to a similar use of the reaktor session The dtail the modules is quite succinct, there are no examples of Creations of instruments, we should really only dbrouiller, tutorials t would be welcome on this software type damage.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use a reaktor i-book G3 900 with 640 MB, this may seem a little config lgre for software of this type, but if we sort it is doing well trs. Obviously you feel frustrated at not being able to use synthtiseurs 3, 2 and 5 rhythms botes multi-effects at the same time but for the budget Submitted in my config, I am more than satisfied with respect the hardware I used before. again, I know that when I change computers (an iMac G5 srement) I would be in possession of an impressive arsenal of instruments. for now, I compose parts sparment, when using complex instruments and the sounds of freedom is beyond compare. which is great, it is the stability of Systm, I use this config on scne and I've never had a bad surprise.

OVERALL OPINION

In two years of use I am more than satisfied with this software for a ridiculous amount compared to the performance, I possde dsormais unconventional tools. my musical projects as I can adapt easily ruffed my desires. j'tais great dfenseur hardware before discovering the software, since I recommend everyone share reaktor sound qualities and diversity. instruments provided are of great quality and I pat t more than once by the quality of some filters (which always does the parent of low numrique) same if I stay my Fidler sherman when it comes to Global Warming it all, and reaktor is still great because I can change the config of my synth to the oscilloscope pass through the external filter before VCA attack ...

No problem for installation, or compatibilitbr /> the config is pretty simple to do
the small prob need a internet connection for s'enrengistrer
the manual is excellent, and in french, over 500 pages.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

So it takes tough with my config,
AMD athlon 2400
HD 160 Giga
Ram 768
Windaube XP
Asus motherboard
CG MSI fx 5700

I did not worry too much, some sets are still very hungry.

reaktor is very stable on my config

OVERALL OPINION

It must do more than a year that I have, and I love it!
it is very powerful, and actually not that complicated than that, even when he asked some time learning, but after it just do pretty much what we want.
The principal shortcoming of this software is the system of presets when used with a sequencer, you must save each time the set with the song, and I must say that AC is not yet ready but it will be out with the organization.
R4 before I tried many other models as modular Tassman, but none gives me as much freedom as easily!
it is expensive but it's true finalemet compared to other synth was an incredible freedom, and it's not just the synthesis one bit to make samplers, groovebox, FX, ...

I do not regret the purchase, it's a monster!

Oh if you really know how to use this program the featurea are incredable you will have to see for yourself its un explanible

The Usability of this program is HORRIBLE You would have to learn math and much more in order to use this program to its full potential I would have to give it a 2 because this program is far from those spoon fed programs you use. if you don't know how to use reason and wanna skip to reaktor.... Guess again before you blow your money, and if you don't even know how to use FL Studio then don't read this review at all.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Basically you will have to go through vigorous learing in order to get a sound out of this program. If you have time and patience you will be able to have good production sounf and quality. I gave it a 5 because of the learning curve which literally blows the SH** out of people.

OVERALL OPINION

I Love this program you just have to grow with it in order to use it to its full potential.
