How do I figure out the genres of my expansions?

solsta

Hey guys, random question maybe. I love my expansions however it can be hard to figure out which genres they are, in terms of browsing. Anyone have a way around this? I've been checking the NI website and searching for genres in the descriptions but I would love if there was a easier way to find a minimal tech house expansion or a carribean one for example, some of them have obvious names but more often than not, I'm having to search to see which one is techno or house etc. Just asking in case there is an easier way! Also browsing by genre in the browser would be a sick addition if possible/reasonable. helps me find samples faster. For not Ijust browse until Ifind the right genre then go fromthere.

thanks for your time! keep up the great work NI

Although I would say “if it sounds good for you and the song you are working on, it doesn’t matter for which genre it was thought” (many sounds used in different contexts can create interesting and more diversified results), one way to see which “world of competence” expansions were thought for is on Native Access, where, under Library/Expansions some genre based tags get offered to narrow down the list of showed products.

Same thing can be done in NI website, where in Products/Sounds you can select genre tags.

Are you looking for something different? I mean on top of asking for genre related tags to be added in the programs, since, if I were you, I would not hold my breath waiting for NI to do something like this…
