Fortunately, once this process is finished, NI's Service Center, which is used for authorisation, only needs a single number code to register the entire collection, saving you the need to complete this process 50 times for each part of the bundle. This is printed on the back of the manual and, thereafter, it's kid-in-a-sweet-shop time. For those unfamiliar with how NI structure their instruments, you might be momentarily baffled to discover that your plug-in folder has only gained a handful of new instruments but panic not, as a number of these are 'hosts within your host'.
Kontakt 5, for instance, will act as the playback device for all of the library content included in the box, while Guitar Rig is increasingly inappropriately named, as this is where you can build effects chains of all descriptions, including tone and dynamics modules.
Likewise, through the inclusion of a number of 'players' within Reaktor itself, it's well worth having a thorough look around within these plug-ins, especially as you begin your trawl through what's included. Reviews often finish by asking, 'to whom will this product appeal'? The more apt question here might be to whom won't Komplete Ultimate appeal, as it's hard to imagine a user-base not catered for by the extraordinary array of products bundled within this collection.
Dance enthusiasts will love Massive and Absynth's new sounds while pop producers will be overjoyed by the pianos, drums, basses and guitars offered within Kontakt 5. For sound designers, Reaktor's appeal is expanded, while everyone will delight in Guitar Rig - while it continues to provide great guitar-based effects, the inclusion of Traktor's 12 effects and the new EQ and dynamic processors means that its appeal stretches way beyond guitar processing alone.
Meanwhile, those interested in score writing now have quality tools at their disposal with the inclusion of Session Strings Pro and two Evolve Mutations libraries that bring widescreen sounds to your DAW. Having named this library 'Ultimate', NI face a challenge when releasing succession products further down the line, but that's a nice headache for their marketing department.
In the meantime, this collection really does represent the sonic equivalent of the adventure playground - if you can't find what you're looking for here, you're in the wrong business. Simply mind-blowing. MusicRadar The No. Home Reviews. Our Verdict. Pros Mind-blowingly comprehensive plug-in bundle.
Cons Cost, arduous installation time. Image 1 of 5. Image 2 of 5. Image 3 of 5. Thanks if you can shed some light. Messages: 10, I think it's 2, the same as other NI products.

Look at the prices of SSL plugins, or fabfilter or Sonnox. Look at the price of Pro Tools HD.
Look at La Scoring Strings and other big orchestral sample libraries. As mentioned before, Komplete doesn't compare to a lot of high end applications in fact I wouldn't even class it as a high end product. The point I was making was not to compare the prices of effects, daws and instruments, but to just compare prices of high end products.
You stated that Komplete is an expensive pro product and as such you should get multiple licenses for the price. All I was illustrating was that its not that expensive for what you get. It's also worth noting that all the other more expensive "pro" products only offer single licenses too as well as the daws lethal pointed out earlier in the thread. It's not a case of NI being greedy compared to other software companies, it's just standard practice.
