The interface and fonts is a real detractor for many for Independence - but that was just cosmetics, always hoped that could take on a new look. Again - it really is a mute point that I'm making - Magix just bought it and treated it like a Rompler for Samplitude only. Nesting VSTi's inside Independence and blending outside synths seamlessly with in Independence was a monster feature.
#Independence pro magix 64 Bit
One huge potential that Independence " had " that seemed to get lost in the 64 bit conversion was it's own VST hosting capability. Even the simplest task like transposing or pitch shifting a sample range is a nightmare. Trying to dig into deep editing in Kontakt is horrible for me.
I'd have to opine differently on the deep editing though. That's what I meant by potential, unfortunately - it's un realized potential. Promotions are the only thing that make it vaguely attractive, and unfortunately the competition usually goes on sale during many of the same time periods. For the non-promotional price of Independence Pro Premium, you can get HALion 6, HSampleTank 4 MAX or Kontakt. The Libraries have gotten literally no update. The sampler has gotten a few bug fix updates since MAGIX has acquired it. MAGIX is like the Corel of Creative Software. It definitely had potential for use in Live Performance. The only way to get any of that stuff into Independence is to buy another utility that retails in the $80-100+ range. Plus, other samples have much better editing interfaces, scripting in multiple cases, and far better compatibility with third party sampler and file formats (Kontakt, EXS24, HALion SFZ, REX/REX2, etc.). Either you waste 50GB+ getting it all, or you just take a pass and use something else.
#Independence pro magix download
The library does have some good sounds, but there is no way to download only the parts you want. The layout is much better than Indy, and the fonts used in Indy are disrespectful. Kontakt complaints is mostly because of the size of it. That music is not expected to obey the rules of human or instrument capabilities. If you're doing electronic music, or whatever then a score view is completely non-factor. Even using notation software, composers often play in the notes and then edit them later (articulations, techniques, etc.). I didn't say to use the score view to write all of your music. The PRV can be used for this, but it's way faster to do this by looking at a score view. The Score View will also clearly indicate the key signature, which can help spot other issues in the score. For example, double stops that are impossible to play on a violin, or notes that are out of range of the instrument - but that a sampler may use pitch shifting to "make happen." These things are easy to spot simply by looking at a score/staff view. The Score view can expose trivial things that are problematic for actual instrument players. They use the best to get as close to a real orchestra as possible, but the end product will be a recording of a live orchestra playing the music. The sammple libraries film composers use are, largely, for sketching. Lots of music is orchestrated in DAWs and then the score is tidied up and given to an orchestra for live playing. I am pretty sure that you don't have any idea why I said what I'm talking about. The reason I prefer the PRV is because it allows for imperfections to be visually represented and edited to the tick. the way HALion is integrated into Cubase, or the way PreSonus integrates their stuff into Studio One).If you really need notation, then you might be better of with an application that has that as it's main task. Imagine how great MAGIX's products could be if they invested more in development and UI/UX design, as well as integrating their products better (i.e.
65GB is a lot of space to waste on an SSD. Not worth it if you have Kontakt 6, HALion 6, or Total Studio MAX 2/SampleTank 4 (MAX), though. That being said, this is a really low price and I recommend people who need a Sampler Workstation with a "usable" Factory Library, and they don't own anything else. I do agree that the UI is really in need of a major of a major facelift. The Synth Sounds are usable, but for that most are better off just getting the AIR Synths and/or Synthmaster (whatever SKU they choose). It is also missing some instruments that are useful, but has a ton of "exotic" patches that most people will never use. The orchestral sounds, for example, are worse than what you get from SONiVOX Orchestral Companions, Logic Pro X Factory Library, or even SampleTank 4 (not talking about Miroslav Philharmonik CE/2). It's kept around to milk it for whatever they can, and to keep the prices of Pro/Suite product SKUs (Samplitude Pro X, ACID Pro) high. The product is basically out of development.
