KS news and site improvements

I want to let everybody what I’ve been doing last month or so … Kreativ Sound did not get much attention due to small vacation, job, work on Kaos Audio and busy day to day life, but I still managed to due some stuff in the background.

I think it’s time to let everybody know my long time plan related to KS. Later this week I will release ABYSounds Lite, another lite product (meaning that will be FREE) with the commercial version soon after. The surprise may come from the fact that is not a reason refill, but a soundpack for Native Instruments Absynth, Massive, FM8 and Pro53 synthesizers. The very nice thing is that all the presets can be used, aside from the named synths, also with Native Instruments KORE Player which is FREE.

This step is in a new direction that I planned for Kreativ Sounds this year (2008). The new direction refers to sonic expansion towards Ableton Live and Native Instruments products, while our main business will still be to create reason refills and improving our existing products. I decided to do this because I want to experiment and because there is a lot of uncharted sonic power out there.

Another good news is that we finally launched a new forum: Kreativ Sounds Forum. So please register and start discussing about your favorite software or sounds. (the design still needs a bit of touch and I hope to do it also this week). After you register on the forum you will remain logged in also if you go on the website.

Other improvement is the new star rating system, now you can vote and tell others if liked or not our free and commercial products. From a business point of view is risky to expose our products like that, but I believe that our products speak for themselves.

Minor updates consiste in updating most of the articles with new info and videos, implementing a new tagging system and also upgrading the site to Wordpress 2.5.1 …

Good bye 2007, welcome 2008

A little late, but … Happy New Year everyone! I want wish to all our costumers and visitors a full of happy moments and very successful 2008!

About a year ago we launched a the new Kreativ Sounds. Now it’s time to draw a line and see some stats:

  • in 2007 our products were downloaded almost 50.000 times, of which BASStard Lite has almost 24.000 downloads, followed by PROWaves Lite with 12.000 downloads;
  • there are currently 38 articles and 130 comments, contained within 17 categories;
  • akismet has protected our site from 21,388 spam comments;
  • the most popular page was of course the downloads page, followed by basstard lite page and propellerheads reason 4 page;
  • another nice addition to Kreativ Sounds is the search reason refills engine (powered by google) which performed more than 1200 searches. In 2008 we plan for it more improvements and more accuracy in the results;
  • in 2007 we had 75.000 unique visitors, while in 2006 we had 85.000 unique visitors. I know it seem like a bad year, but consider that we do have a forum anymore and the old (2003-2006) content is not on this website anymore. I consider that 75.000 unique visitors is great for the new startup.

The only thing that didn’t went so well in 2007 were the sales, but I don’t mind. To be honest I expected that and I can also explain it. In 2007 I just wanted to let our products speak for themselfs. I’m very prod about our new line of products and I consider it to be of great quality and a lot better than the old products line. So I decided to not promote the products so much as in 2006, just to let quality speak. Of course it is rarely happen that a good product can sale without marketing, but after you create a brand that speaks for it’s self you’ll not need advertising anymore. Just look at Propellerheads!

So, THANK YOU for a very good year, I’m very happy that you stayed with us! Visit us in 2008 too because we planned lots of new audio goodies ;)
