I never understood that term.

I never understood that term.

From wiki (so you know it's 100% accurate and truthful):
"Trap music, also known simply as trap, is a subgenre of hip-hop music which originated in the Southern United States, with lyrical references to trap starting in 1991 but the modern sound of trap appearing in 1999. The genre gets its name from the Atlanta slang term "trap house", a house used exclusively to sell drugs. Trap music is known for its simple, rhythmic, minimalistic productions that use synthesized drums, and is characterized by complex hi-hat patterns, snare drums, bass drums, some tuned with a long decay to emit a bass frequency, and lyrical content that often focuses on drug use and urban violence."

I downloaded the "band" version of the software.

 

[HomespunEffects]

Spent an hour trying to get it installed with no luck. Deleted it. Glad it was free.

I remember the same issues with Native way back in the Apple "Power PC" days. I don't have time for this crap.

The guy at Sweetwater called me while I was downloading it, and I started asking him what exactly the software was, and what it could do.. and he goes, "I'm not really familiar with it."

 

[Sascha Franck]

What's the issue with installing? You download and install Native Access, enter your account information when opening and then enter the key you've been provided by email.
Yes, having to download a "mother" program kinda sucks, but once you own more than one plugin from a company, it's actually sort of decent, especially as Native Access also allows you to move sample locations, manage computers (should you get a new one), provides you with updates and what not.
Pretty much all bigger plugin companies use a similar way to manage their stuff these days.
And fwiw, it's still a lot better than the IK nightmare.
