I also hear constant rumbles on forums about them being stuck in the past as a company, slow to react (not just to M1) and not particularly helpful when it comes to customer support. While pretty much every other company came out with an M1 compatible product within months - NI seemed stuck for way, way longer than anyone else getting back on terms with the new tech.įrom what I’ve seen so far, it sounds like they are in a bit of financial trouble with mergers and layoffs with cost-cutting seemingly the order of that day (including some as recently as this week). On a personal note I was literally about to buy a Maschine when I spotted that M1 was a problem and I’d be paying a lot of money for what would essentially be a paperweight. So I was surprised to see that when I came back to look into things post-pandemic that many NI users seem to actively dislike the company.

Just as there are “must have” softwares today, it seemed like I couldn’t bump into someone without them banging on about Massive like it was some kind of illicit substance. A rambly question/thought/post for anyone who ever crossed paths with Nature Instruments - I know we have a few Maschine-heads on here.īack when I first started getting interested in electronic music (early 2010s) NI was literally everywhere.
