so i guess i'm a bigger knoob than i thought...

and yes i rebuilt the database

Glad your problem's sorted dude

thank goodness

ps - konakt 2 and 3 are not very different layout wise

pps- east west comes with its own kontakt player with the samples all laid out in it. All you have to do is load whatever sound. Should come up in your vst plugs if installed correctly.

but if you have something working don't make things more complicated leave them be.

you are a bigger noob than you thought.

MULTIsamples mean there is one sample per key so you don't get horrible pitch shifted sounds on certain notes, and unique note timbre. Also a lot of those sample packs have velocity mapped samples as well, meaning that there are different samples being triggered for different velocities. Those tracks that I'm guessing you have heard from the makers are most certainly highly tweaked. I would not expect your stuff to sound as fantastic unless you work on it for years. IMO those packs only sound good when you bury them in a mix. On their own they stink of fakeness.

well then how come the music on the website sounds so good?

The same reason that Big Mac looks more delicious in the adverts.

well then someone tell me how to supersize my music

judicious EQ
