Elf Audios Koala Sampler App Toxic Community Exposed

[@AveMcree]

I've ignored everyone for a long time but now. I'm fighting back! Also, here's proof that I've done similar video's in the past with different results. So, don't say I'm not an equal opportunist! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6OvZmxre8aHnpYsi=ESy1g4lhNMNJFdPP

[@discowolf25]

You a real one! That’s crazy cuz I use it sometimes and, it’s great but, to each their own. I mean shit I still use a 303 for MOST of my stuff 😂. Keep it up fam💯, and thank you for the best sound design advice of all time. Fk the haters Ave 🫡

[@SLPGroundSoundMusic]

Ave, first of all, elf koala sampler is a one man company, basically only one person created Koala, and only one person run koala, which is a developer who is actually is a great humble person, so basically who you are talking aboutbthe person and group on the post in the koala community doesn't have anything to do with the creator of koala, or the elf "company" which again is just a one guy company, so what im saying is that those post in the community who you based this video on, are simply the app users or supporters, a community of people who use and support the app and the developer and thats about it, of course people will support the developer, because he is a person who care about the app and those who use the app, which anybody won't be able to say that about other app developers, because other app developers only care about the money,,, but anyway what im trying to say is that you're basically basing this video about someone in the community who is just a regular guy that use the app, a regular person who just bought the app and became part of the community like everyone in the group did and anybody else can too,, because is a community created for koala user to help and support each other, and even though the Koala developer gets involved with community, that doesn't mean that what you are talking about got to do with him, because it doesn't,, basically 98% of the people i the community are just supporters of the app and thats about it,, so you basically made the video about an unknown person, which is like making a video about someone who wrote a bad comment on your video, which is definitely a waste of time,. and should know that, that you shouldn't care about negative comments on a video, because that just part of social media !! anyways im a Koala supporter just like im also a supporter of what you do, hopefully you keep making videos of koala because i do like watching them peace brother ✌🏽

[@jimmi274]

They lost more than one! Air’em all out Ave!

[@IKARIking67]

Left field question @AveMcree, but what did you use for the captions on this video. It's a nice touch

[@boardgangbeats7329]

Much love and respect for you and the channel you’ve created bro. I learned alot from watching your channel. Keep going 💯

[@kallpakk]

None one of those guys work for Elf Audio. Elf Audio is just one dev, Marek, that uses independent contractors for help sometimes. This whole community are just fans. And to label an entire Facebook group as toxic based on the behavior of a few members, would be like labeling your entire channel as toxic based on a few of your livestreams. This ain't it Ave. You're just feeding the trolls.

[@wesp404]

This whole video is so misguided and off target. How is Marek responsible off comments from a few people on a friggin message board? Ave turning into the old guy yelling at the clouds.

[@CayoticProphet]

This! This is one of many reasons I have decade old KZbin channels and no new content. I left facebook over drama, I don't come here for it, but I listen. I bought the koala app after Ave's video reviewing it, then I watched this one, only to feel bad about supporting them, only to find out, it's people outside the development of the app. Some people "gravitate" towards drama, not even meaning to. If I don't fuck around and make content, I'll never find out if people are predominately cynical or supportive. I am both... I am so supportive of cynical people that don't support the agenda of the enemy. There is a spiritual battle for our souls, regardless of our beliefs. This is why I have become cynical about people that support counter productive products produced by companies slowly trying to enslave us, under their corporate thumbs. "You will own nothing and be happy." If you want to use your seat warmers to keep your pizza warm in your BMW, that will be a monthly subscription of $19.99 plus tax of course! Let's tax someone for using something monthly, that they paid off and already own. Why not? They tax the property you think you own.

[@onnaquest]

Personally i took it a step further and labeled all of Facebook toxic lol

[@fentanyljones6956]

Hopefully you read this comment. NONE OF THESE PEOPLE REPRESENT ELF AUDIO. MAREK WHO OWNS, OPERATES, AND CODES KOALA IS A VERY HUMBLE, KIND, HELPFUL DUDE AND ISN’T ALL OVER THE INTERNET LIKE THAT. DEFINITELY NOT OUT TALKING SHIT.

[@dionmorales479]

I'm sorry a few people hated on you for your Koala vid, but you shouldn't be throwing a whole company under the bus over toxic fans. Elf Audio is one man. One person doing it all... Now you're telling your subscribers not to support his company because of some users on a Facebook forum talking shit. You're taking food out this mans mouth over something he has no control over.

[@mrjoemiles]

I’m not very active on there but I do know that it’s only one guy making the app. He’s a solid dude who’s bringing high quality product to people for cheap and he’s always respectful. Can’t hold him responsible for assholes in that group, any more than you’re responsible for everybody in your comment section.

It’s not as quality as Akai.. And I have a koala beat on my iG … you can distinctly tell the difference in quality…

I will say its sorta ironic that Ave claims weaver is toxic when he made an entire video harrassing random people on Facebook AND posted their names / info. it's in bad taste imho.

It's very ironic indeed. Imagine getting this mad over some comments and not making the distinction between a fan group and a company. I almost feel sorry for him,almost. @@NewMateo

[@Kevhuman]

I remember a certain video in which a musician and creator "tried" a certain Akai product, said some good things, but also made some suggestions. I recall that another content creator was not very happy about that. There is certainly a certain amount of hypocrisy floating around.

[@bumbaclarkkent3613]

[@jamesspringer6898]

“I took the mature route” while making a whole video about how the comments got to you

[@strangnet]

How is the sole developer in Elf Audio responsible for people in a facebook group?

[@rydakule]

The koala community is a bit cult-like but it’s not because of the developer. Marek (elf audio) is super chill and he’s not about this shit. I’ve been in that FB group for over a year now and what you’re saying is true, except for the shit about the company. He don’t deserve to be slandered like this. I’ve never seen that dude say a negative thing about anyone. I watched this shit unfold and you’re well within your rights to go at that community. But going at Elf Audio ain’t right. That’s you jumping to conclusions just like those idiots jumped to conclusions about you.

[@HD-cp1fg]

Word. Ive been following streams with beat showcases that developer runs for two years now and i rarely see dude so wholesome and chill with genuine interest in music and sharing it to wider audience. No doubt if Ave ever wanted to play his beats on Koala channel im sure he'll have his spotlight and chance to clear the air.

[@lextron-audio]

You're forgetting, it's the internet. There's trolls in every community.

[@NeverToBeSeenAgain]

how has this video been up for 5 days and you can't even edit the lies out of the description. You didn't show a single employee's comment in this because there are no employees in that group.

[@tom-541]

Just a heads up - those contributors are not employees I believe, elf audio is just one dude. I'm not sure why it's called an official fb group. Possibly the guy running the show let them make it an official group because as a one man band he doesn't have time for that, but it's anyones guess. The point is it's a group of enthusiasts talking crap as groups of enthusiasts tend to do, which isn't nice but I don't think it's elf audio as a company. Sorry you had to put up with all this, hope you're well generally.

[@imoses]

I'm new to your channel, a Koala user and I really enjoyed your video where you tried out Koala and compared it to the MP. I thought it was more than fair and I learned some things about the Akai that I didn't know. For some reason in life, it seems that 4 or 5 negative folks stand out more than the dozens of positive ones. It's like a messed up law of physics. But I want to say that I'd love to see you do more Koala videos, as you continue to learn more about how to use it. It doesn't appear the developer himself is at fault. I encourage you not to give up on the software. We support you. Keep on making those great videos!

[@SLPGroundSoundMusic]

[@AveMcree]

Nah peep the social media. They whole staff should be fired today

[@SLPGroundSoundMusic]

@@AveMcree i been in that community for 2 years and im sure they're not staff of Koala, because the Koala community is just a community made by supporters of the app to support the developer and to help and support eachother, so basically the community was not created by the actual owner, creater or developer of the app, so yes they're 2 different things, so you shouldn't blame Elf for the people on the community commenting their own opinions, because at the end of the day, they are just opinions on a comment, plus you also should understand that when it comes to communities that are based on supporting a specific thing, that those in the community will defend what they care about, which i got to admit that i also do the same thing too sometimes about Koala, when people are trying to put the app down unfairly, just because its my favorite app to work with, but thats not the case here with what im saying, because you wasn't doing that, on the videos like you already said, even though you was saying that it didn't had features that it actually had, but again it understandable that you didn't know much about the app because like you wrote on the video title, you are trying Koala for the first time, so obviously you won't know what it do or not do if is your first time using the app, that is why i even commented on those video trying to help you out, by letting you know what you missed to find out, didn't know or understand about the app, like for example, how to be able to live record while koala is playing the beat,, also how to record or sample auv3 plugins, and plus how to do the other stuff that you mentioned,, but anyway what basically saying is, that the koala community is about, helping each other about how to do whatever anybody have a question about,, but obviously some will express their opinions about what other is talking about, and obviously some options will not be likable, but that is just part of life and that will also be part of social media, so don't take those options so seriously because at the end of the day, they're just that, opinions and that's it !!! hopefully what i wrote actually reflects what im really trying to say, and that it makes sense because im Puerto Rican and Spanish is my main language, so i apologize for that, and my bad english grammar!!

[@kaonashiitoi3682]

I say this genuinely as a non-biased observer of your content: get some help. I think your mental health is seriously at risk. I know you've gone through a lot with your Mom and loneliness, but none of the stuff you highlighted is disrespectful. People are allowed to critique your content and disagree with you. No one is picking on you. The fact that FB posters are getting this deep under your skin is wild.

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

Ave…that’s a one man company….Marek is the one that built it. Facebook community isn’t the company. I think you are directing your comments to the wrong people.

[@StudioCee]

It's not a company that the comments are from, it's a private Facebook group. The link you put to the group goes to Short URL website and not the actual group. Don't know if the group has been removed or not but it's not the company.

[@nickynocknoo]

Exactly right, it's just a user group. Simply because Ave got some rude comments/trolling from some forum posters he is acting as if they represent Elf audio and were sent to attack him by the company. Elf audio is just one software developer and he doesn't deserve to be thrown under the bus like this.

[@SwishMajor]

Bro, none of these "allegations" you are making towards Weaver and saying that he is hating were ever made in the first place. Bro was literally documenting the entire mpc. But also, you are getting heated with people criticizing you, like bro, you are a content creator, and as a public figure in the producer community, you will be criticized for your work - you signed up for it. This video proves that just like BusyWorksBeats, you can't take criticism. Geez man. Edit: I think your videos reviewing products is informative and well written

[@StudioCee]

Who are the Elf Audio employees? Looking up the company, it seems that it's one guy working out of his home.

[@StudioCee]

How come at 9:47 you say "“You know I don’t like making fun of people for you know not writing in complete sentences or anything like that because I totally understand and what I’m understanding right now is that a lot of these guys English isn’t their first language or I don’t know…” But at 4:59 you said "Man, the English bruh!" That seems like a pretty disparaging comment about someone's use of English.

[@buggablues]

I think Koala is just Marek, a single dev? It was legend without a mixer for the longest time, which honestly says a lot. I’d rather pay for updates to a single dev and support him than have him do it in his free time and rarely update it because it is just a hobby. Regardless, does calling out haters make them stop? I can already see Weaver booting up his editing software.

[@AveMcree]

[@F_letc.h]

I think it’s worth noting that Elf Audio is one person. People on social media don’t represent Elf Audio, and Marek (the sole owner/employee of Elf Audio) is too busy living his life, and developing his app, to monitor everything being said on the internet about his app, or about you tube content creators. You’re directing your anger at Elf Audio when your beef is really just with random geeks on the internet. Elf Audio (again, one person) has nothing to do with it, and shouldn’t be held responsible for what every kid on the internet says or does.

[@AveMcree]

They should be held responsible for there actions seeing they are influencer like me. I’m sorry but even the official social media account is toxic too. I will post some of their tweets and prove it

[@F_letc.h]

@@AveMcreeIMO, if the statement didn’t come directly from Marek, it didn’t come from Elf Audio.

[@NewMateo]

[@UncleBenjs]

​@@AveMcreeFor their* actions, not there.

[@UncleBenjs]

​@@AveMcreeTheir is a possessive.. their mpcs, their opinions, their struggle with grammar, etc. There is used in sentences like "it's over there" etc. Example sentence to break it down further for you: Their mpc is over there on the shelf. Let's throw in another example also using 'they're ' as I expect you struggle with that one, too. They're a youtuber, who likes to use their mpc, the one over there. Hope this helps you grasp these words.

[@brightonic]

I’m pretty sure the main person who works on Koala Sampler is Marek Bereza, considering he’s the persona credited on the app store and the main person who shows up in the elf audio yt channel. This Scott Williams guy most likely doesn’t work for elf audio and most likely never will. So nah, it’s just the community being assholes, not the actual developers. EDIT: I don’t agree with what you said in the description about not supporting elf audio. Seems pretty petty to me. It’s not even a separating the art from the artist situation considering 95% of the people who were on you don’t work for elf audio.

[@AveMcree]

Marek definitely was in the thread and I’ll screenshot it. If you wanna support them then do so🫡

[@brightonic]

@@AveMcree I would like to see what he said.

Ave , I appreciate everything you do. I been following your channel for about 3yrs now. I’m not gonna lie, you did catch me off guard when you had Koala 😂, I almost thought I had the wrong channel 😂. So in saying all of this, I’m sure I wasn’t the only one caught off guard. So in my mind, I was like , well ok let’s have it. I can always learn something new or let’s see how Ave approach it. At the end of the day, it’s a tool for music people, What are we talking about……….,this Shit is too much. As far as the Koala Developer ……..he’s a cool person. I remember when the the Koala app first dropped, I was one of the first people to get it and I remember emailing back and forth with him and telling him the bugs I was experiencing. So Ave , F those critics. And do some more Koala videos.

[@bennynewqs]

to call Elf Audio toxic because their users don't like you or agree with you on a forum is bonkers.. from what I gather Elf Audio is just one man... I've tried a lot of iPhone/iPad apps over the year (including Akai ones) and Koala is far, far more fun and impressive than pretty much any other I've seen. I'd 1000% recommend it to anyone especially new people wanting to get into beatmaking because a) they probably have a phone capable of running it already and b) it's $15 frickin dollars! I bet enough kids drop hundreds and hundreds of dollars on SP404s and MPCs etc before giving up for whatever reason

[@suntanbear4763]

I’ve appreciated your videos for a long time but I do think you’ve over reacted to a few posters on a Facebook channel. To suggest that they are representative of elf audio is akin to saying that all your 128k subscribers represent you. I’m a big fan of koala and I love my Mpc one, there is plenty of room for both. I don’t subscribe to that Facebook group but I am on the discord group and find the koala community pretty helpful and not judgemental.

[@AveMcree]

According to some people in the comments. The developer had some issues with my video too🤷🏾 so I didn’t over react.

[@A.D.G]

@@AveMcree "According to some people in the comments". Sheesh man, grow up. You did over-react. You targeted Elf Audio (one guy) over something he had nothing to do with. Now you keep deleting his comments on this video. 40+ years on this planet and you're still drama baiting

[@Inbellion]

Damn. Your videos on the Koala sampler were the reason that I even bought the app + the addons. Keep doing what you are doing and let the haters fall to the side...

[@ScantlessBeatz]

Ya if someone is shining light on a product good or bad its markting for that brand. I had NO idea who or what kawala was and after seeing all this I want no part to put my hard earned money into a brand like that.

[@nickynocknoo]

Eh, I have no dog in the fight because I don't use either MPC or Koala. Honestly when I saw your video, you made some good points and said some positive things about it, but overall it came off like you were generally being slightly dismissive, and the thumbnail of the vid had you looking skeptically at the app with your eyebrow raised. That was a little bit of the vibe I got for the whole video to be honest (just my subjective impression). That is not to justify people who go waaay too far in responding. Anyway, this is like being salty about what some random kids on an MPC forum said about that platform. Would you then claim those kids represented AKAI itself as a company? Of course not. Furthermore, we are talking about a one man developer and you are portraying him here as a megacorp setting his army of toxic marketers and influencers on you. I can pretty much guarantee the guy has zero time for that kind of thing. Touch grass man.

[@naw2064]

This is a complete pack of lies. Remember this guy is a shill for Akai

I don't think these were Elf Audio employees, but there is a bit of a sycophantic behavior in the Koala group. I don't think the main developer indulges into these sorts of situations, too. My gripe with the video is that it was slightly rushed, didn't look like you got into the full swing of things, but it wasn't particularly disparaging to the app as well. As someone who uses this app regularly, I do urge you to spend more time with it, because it's a good tool in specific situations. No need to shame anyone for their gear-preference either way, think that was a bit too far.

[@AveMcree]

Did the exact same video for Reason studios and their community members had zero negative to say about it! No excuses!!

[@sinewavedream]

@@AveMcreereason studios is software that has history and talented users that actually make music/full songs for the past 20+ years. Koala is great for making Beats when your taking a Crap or waiting in a lineup to kill time! It's a fun app but not a game changer.

Scott isn’t Elf Audio. Elf Audio is one dude. His name is Marek. I don’t think he’s heavy in that group at all. Don’t hold all this bullshit against Elf audio, it’s the toxic fanboys. I’ve seen em shit on every hardware device and sampler plugin under the sun saying Koala is the best sampler ever blah blah blah.

[@elketerbentzadik]

Ave, I love you and your content. But speaking as a person who has been a "public personality" as a broadcaster and journalist and dealt with people "hating" to the point of threatening my life I gotta say responding to "haters" isn't the move. You're coming super spicy here and it's obvious your feelings are hurt and you're angry. But no. Leave it alone. It's not that serious. You said it yourself. They're poking the bear. They want a response. They want to know they shook you. Don't aknowledge that shit.

I’ve been making music since 1991! I’m 50 years old! I’ve stayed low key in the cut like neo sporran steady rocking! It’s been a long ride my peeps! I’ve learned countless lessons along the way! Most important is to never break or bend your true self! That is if you’re a good grounded person! There’s so much to learn it’s best to stay humble! This all comes in time tho! Along to way you’ll be tested and tempted! Mist people learn best hands on so you might want to practice some self checking once in awhile to better yourself! No matter what,, people are toxic and you’ll have to decide if you want to be around that kind of style! Don’t be afraid to walk the path alone at times! A big rule that help me is the rule of 48 hours in which any problem can be resolved or forgotten within! Meaning the problem you have in the moment will be replaced or forgotten so don’t bug out as much! Collaborate with like minded artist in your area! Do or Don’t there is no Try! Last but not least, try not drinking at all! It’s a big waste of time trust me! Peace my peeps! In the words of Jerry Springer, be kind to each other!

Elf Audio is a one man operation dude, the commenters in the group are just users. Elf Audio has nothing to do with those comments so don’t twist it. The mods are volunteers. Sampling came from the invention of the FairLight not the MPC, just saying 😉 Imho you’re taking this to heart way too much, don’t stress about it and don’t conflate the words of users of Koala for the words of Marek/Elf Audio. This video is in bad taste as you didn’t do your research on Marek. Dude crested the App because of his love for the Roland SP series… it’s a Labour of love. This video is just going to bring you more hate because you are blaming Elf for the words of individuals. I’ve had an MPC1000 since it launched, was a member of the MPCForums and the MPC community is toxic AF, has been for over 2 decades… so much pretentious clowns. It’s the internet, welcome… chill and do your thing…

[@boomboombaby9140]

Broke people that can’t afford a MPC or tried a MPC will swear koala sound better than a MPC . I swore koala sounded better than anything on earth until I got a MPC and realized when you make a beat from scratch using drums and instruments from sound packs they come out thin . Take those exact drums and instruments use it on a MPC and they sound beefy high quality.

It’s not a good look to rant so hard over few fb comments and then bash on others.

[@tripleeight5608]

You, not using Koala to its full potential in your past video feels like a slap in the face to a lot of fanboys of Koala. I feel like its childish to react the way they did. Now, tbh, I feel like it would have been a better video if you had more experience with Koala and you showed us your way of using it to it's full potential. I was hoping for more Koala content from you, don't let this petty stuff stop you. It makes sense to continue just for the views from the haters alone.

[@humblewerks]

Ave gave it a decent look as he does any other App. If he even does a look or review is HIS choice because he likes something about it. Sometimes we have to give ppl like Ave time to get to use it enough to use it at it's FULL potential. In the future though, be mindful of how you comment on ppl, you called Ave childish by the way he reacted, then say (don't let this petty stuff stop you. It makes sense to continue just for the views from the haters alone.). Maybe a better way to express it to him may go a long way. I'm just saying.

[@badwave]

personally i dont really get into the beatmaking side of music, but i've always appreciated how straight up and genuinely intelligent you come off as compared to some people. it's really good to see someone with your level of maturity making an effort to set the standard by putting their foot down and deciding it's no longer enough to just let all the weird hate-mongering continue unchecked in the hope that it'll fizzle out(when quite often it doesn't). hopefully the mindset around all this crap will finally change at some point, and it wont be seen as petty or weak to defend yourself against something you know isn't right. the "i gave you exposure" argument is thrown around in a lot of disingenuous contexts, but in this case you did nothing but share and talk about a product you thought was cool. i had considered checking out Koala at some point based on what i'd heard about it, but... yeah, i definitely don't feel comfortable contributing to them right now- i'm much happier studying Redux and giving my money to companies i'm proud to support. best of luck to you, keep doing what you're doing!

Hey Koala only has one developer and is owned by one person. Before we discredit him and his hard work , please understand, it’s not him. Nor does it represent his company.

[@Enatural_7]

It’s understood that you were trying the app. Some of the rhetoric in this video and that video is misleading and misinformation. You are a well known content creator which can hurt or help a business. You having the power to influence people is maybe the reason people are so bent out of shape.

[@AveMcree]

The problem with your statement is they do represent him. All of those people that were present in that form have did presentations and are koala social media influencers. They are tied in with that company and are on their official KZbin channel. You do the math from right there. Thank you for coming to the video.

Thats a online cult app community. Most of them probably only ever felt a touch screen and querty keyboard. Their save and grace for being in the space without breaking their bank. Im honest and not biased. Nothings better besides it being mobile with the convience of size and external wires. Even with that said my laptop is super slim, touch screen, folds all the way back to tablet size...could just use a computer daw and have all it offers and then some. I used too much software to be impressed. I have the sp404, roland fantom, all the new damn mpcs, korg, yamaha. Doesnt beat the tacktile feel and each have unique workflows. The cool app train already left. Most of the time these things become abandonware. Theres only like 3 apps that stand out.

You shouldn’t have to go through all this. It’s not good for your mental health and it’s dragging you down. I use/used both systems. I’ve seen both sides. But it sure ain’t worth all this drama.
