From now until the 15th of March, you can grab nine (9!) Muze sound libraries for Native Instruments Kontakt for the low cost of… nothing. The catch, though, is that you’ll need to install the Waya Downloader software to download the libraries to your computer.
I guess March is just a month for freebies. We’re already off to a strong start with the VCA Compressor from the fine folks at Softube.
You might need an instrument or two to pad out the bucket of freebies going forward in the month. Thankfully, the folks over at Waya and Muze agree with you.
So, what’s included in this Muze freebie deal?
You have Aquamarine, which is a cinematic pad machine. With nearly 3GB of samples and 144 presets, you’ll have plenty of time for inspiration in this set.
Of course, you need drums, which Muze Drums more than covers. You’ve got kits covering techno, hip-hop, trap, and anything else you might want to make.
However, that’s just scratching the surface as you’ve got libraries covering pianos, atmospheres, bass, and even effects.
Of special note is Mello, which is always a personal favorite of mine. I don’t know what it is about the Mellotron family of instruments, but I am always captivated by the real but very flawed nature of those captured sounds.
Mello captures that with some degree of accuracy, easily giving that warbly instant Boards of Canada vibe. If you’ve been looking for that tapey flute sound, then you’re in luck.
The pianos I can take or leave, I’ve never been huge on keyboard instruments. Someone else is likely more qualified to chime in with how accurately these nail the particular characteristics of the instruments they’re sampling.
They are bonafide grand pianos, but I know a lot can go pear-shaped when capturing those.
If you’re new to music production, there isn’t much reason why you’d want to pass this offer up. You can readily download things at your leisure to stash them elsewhere on a cloud drive or an external SSD.
One drawback is you’ll need the full retail version of Native Instrument’s Kontakt to make the most of these. I know we’ve done a lot with the Kontakt Player libraries as of late, but you’ll need the full version to use all of the libraries on offer.
Another thing worth pointing out is that you’ll need to download and install the Waya Downloader software. It’s a utility used to download and install the Muze libraries on your computer.
UPDATE: LINK REMOVED. Several BPB readers reported that they didn’t trust the required Waya Downloader, so we decided to remove the link from the article.
