OT, Spitfire 远离 NI，确是好事.
OT, Spitfire 远离 NI，确是好事.
在某某站见到的.
原文:
Well, look at that, day one and it's already being pirated. You know, this really makes me wonder why we pay thousands of dollars to NI for "copy protection."
Honestly, I get it, when I was starting out (actually, for the first 10 years of my career) I often had to choose between paying for food/rent/sample libraries. If you have no way to afford new sounds, you shouldn't be financially locked out of competing for your first movie score, or commercial, or song.
Still, and I say this totally without malice, if you are making money from stealing other people's work, we (meaning the industry) know.
If you like the sounds, and want to make a career out of music, my advice is this: don't hide behind anonymous avatars. Write an email to the producers of the sample libraries you use most. Maybe you can get a discount if you're totally honest about it. Just maybe you have unique skills that they're also looking for, and you could make something really great together.
Just don't be discouraged when the thing you poured your soul into gets pirated, and resellers on 闲鱼 tell you it's only worth 73 cents.

老外都知道咸鱼了吗
Seth Tsui 不是老外，他正正就是 JADE Evolutions 的 开发者.

打包nkx才交费，散装的就不用了吧？
散装叫“非标准库”，不用交钱，但劣势是消费者一听得要买完全版的Kontakt才能用，立马犹豫了
这个东西就是平台税和苹果税一类的东西，是躺着收钱，至于是不是真保护不重要，就跟你音乐上架只能选择那几个流媒体平台一样
现在大家的路线都是先上NI的播放器打响名堂赚够钱，然后开发自己的播放器脱离Kontakt生态，最初有VSL，后来是EW、喷火、OT，最近则是8dio。有钱有能力开发自己引擎的就这么几家，要么去NI，要么去UVI。音源厂公司的规模比你想象的要小很多，大部分公司都是只有几个人的小微企业，喷火这样有100+雇员的已经叫超级大厂了

这个东 ...
以细规模来说，市场上有点名气，质量较好的，
Audio Imperia 是其中之一, 公司人数 - 4人.
8Dio 两位 老闆，做影视配乐多年，行内具有一定知名度，
可说是 搞音源 只是 副业.

好家伙 还真不多。
有时候确实是可以想象的到 这种音乐制作类目的软件开发公司 员工应该不会很多 但有时候真是超乎想象啊。
NI在全球的办公室 应该得有超过300了吧？
看了前日的报道 感觉NI这个公司确实是。。有时候想让人吐槽 先不说别保护费，就他们这个高分辨率适配 什么时候能搞好呢？FM8那种小字 2k、4k屏幕下真的很煎熬。

应该内地有三五百人的企业只能算是中偏小型企业吧？
看来音乐行业真不赚钱 >.<

是啊 高于1000人才叫大型企业。
音乐制作行业 其实，软件插件的开发 真的用不着这么多人 有时候都是1个人干2、3人的活的感觉。多数情况下 感觉还会有闲。
再者是，有些厂商“低投入”高利润回报 就会促成这种特别微小企业的存在。我个人觉得Fabfilter就是这种情况。连年更新次软件适配 适配新系统。每次幅度又不是特别大，但利润应该很高 因为价格很高。可能公司里 有个不到10人就够了。插件再加上格莱美混音师和各种大奖 与插件本身的 质量 过硬，就不会不愁卖，进而持续的利润就会养活起这几个员工。
说不赚钱其实我觉得并不是。只是利润高 员工少开销少，钱都跑老板手里去了而已。

搞得起的微企，主要手段还是靠外发加工.
自己养员工，成本 / 风险 不成正比.
