I'm a hobbyist who's been producing for about 12 years, considering going professional. I definitely don't need Collectors Edition right away, but for 50% off cyber sale... I couldn't resist lol. Cannot wait for my Mac Studio to arrive in a couple weeks and load this stuff up. Thanks for the vid, helped in staving off any buyers remorse haha.

Yes, it’s an amazing product. Thanks for watching!

I was pondering on collectors, but for such price - got it immediately. Such a vast amount of instruments. Especially love Ashlight, perfect for Dark ambient

One of my favorite investments! you won't need any other VSTs for a LOOOOONG time.

Bro I just bought the collectors edition at 50% off for $900 thinking I spent a lot but your video makes me feel positive and happy about my purchase. My next goal is to get those keyboards

I got my K14 CE! I'm so stoked to use it. Just download it all in my external ssd waiting to finish installing. Too much downloads its the only down side haha.

Awesome!!! Welcome to the club! Best thing is from here on it’ll always be $250 for the update! I have mine on an external 2TB ssd as well. No regrets! Comment your favorite instrument once you’ve had some time with it! Congrats 🍾

Even with a large external hard drive , you need to have extra space on your main computer. Hard drive is going to use some of that and spit it back out later.

@CARLTONMOXLEYUnknownpianist Thanks for your response. Yea I bought an external 2T ssd for it. I also didn't download it all. Just a 1T of it; I still have 500gb of libraries to download. My computer still has 1.2T of free space. My problem is that the Plugin icons for komplete kontrol or Maschine, which you can find on the NI Resources folder 📂, it does not regenerate.

This is my first try with Komplete, bought the stand 14 then upgraded to ultimate then to collectors. It’s way more than anybody needs but I like that! And when 15 comes out I’ll see if the upgrade enough to get it, but there is a lot there! With the full flstudio and Cubase pro, what else would anybody need?

I haven't moved past Komplete Start yet to be honest that is where people are supposed to start and get a feel for it. Why haven't I upgraded? Because other brands basically got to Me first and I have had more then enough to mess with already.

I've just upgraded to Standard on summer discount, but even if there is much less thing than in ultimate, I dont think I would use all instruments there. First of all, there is too many of instruments, and review all presets gonna take you loooong time, which I dont have. I just upgraded mostly for few intruments: Kontakt 7 ( to host instruments from other producers and better UI than kontakt 6) , guitars, effects (like Guitar Rig 6), Massive X and Ozone Standard. Even it I got only these for 200$, this is fucking awesome price for all of that. I for sure will upgrade to ultimate next year on next discount ( I want this Orchestral stuff! ), but not this one : I've bought already too much others VST last few months and I need time to learn work with them, including NI Standard. What is funny, I didnt want to buy Omnisphere, which is also great, just because I was thinking that its too expensive for me, but I've already spend more money on all others VST this year. Lol, its like almost addiction for me, hunting for discount VST's, and I need to stop it.

Yea it really just depends on what you’re going to use it for. I produce so many styles so I need a lot but standard is still really good for a lot of productions! And yes I’m a gear junkie so I gotta collect them all haha

Ok yea I would go CE. You’ll get a kick out of the full symphony series and it’s a bargain for that price. Spitfire and LASS and EAST WEST are much more expensive. Definitely recommend CE edition for film scoring. I don’t regret it at all.
