Feature:
It features a "Service Center" which is the hub for the Anti-Piracy scheme. Catch is, however, that the entire system relies heavily on NI's servers, and there is no grace period. This product WILL NOT WORK without activation, and sadly, an activation is something that I have been unable to achieve.
Quality:
Looks like they spent like 3 minutes on this product. As far as I'm concerned, there is no product.
Value:
There'd be value if I could at least use the samples, but they're in a proprietary format, so that means that even in my own sequencer, I can't use the gigs of drums I purchased. Yuppie!
Desirability:
The only thing I want is my money back. It pains me to say that this ANTI-PIRACY effort has done nothing but hurt honest customers, and I'm sure the WAREZ community had no trouble cracking it.. so.. hmpf
Sound:
I gave it a 8 because the online demos sound pretty good. HAven't heard the actual product yet, however...
Ease of Use:
Not speaking for the interface of the actual product- the ACTIVATION SOFTWARE is slow, invasive and clunky. Not to mention it doesn't even work.
Support:
I have not heard back from this company yet, and it's been over 24 hours. I'm not sure about anybody else here, but waiting over 24 hours to get a product you purchased working? That's unheard of. Support gets a zero. (or a one, since that's the lowest it goes).
Overall:
I just plainly can't get this product to work. It needs a NI registration to use it, and after trying a thousand ways on this stupid "SERVICE CENTER" (which should be named "DISSERVICE CENTER") I finally find a way to register manually on their website-- to get a 500 error (INTERNAL SERVER ERROR). Great, that'd explain why my software isn't working... it's too bad that I cannot have something reliant on a sketchy low-quality company in my studio. When I have deadlines, I have deadlines. I must eliminate this software from the batch. Oh, and to make matters worse, without a return policy on software, I think I might just have to sue somebody to get somewhere here.
