Fleer Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Got a new lappie, a MacBook Air M2 16GB/512GB as a swift little companion to go with the monstrous MacBook Pro M1Max 64GB/4TB as my main axe. And I’m planning on keeping them Kontakt free, at least the little one. Yep, you heard that right. I’ll fill it up with Falcon and its UVI banks, Arturia V Collection and Pigments, Melda MSoundFactory and friends, Spitfire BBCSO and Originals, Scaler, Toontrack, AAS, Bitwig, Omnisphere, Keyscape, Kilohearts, iZotope, Eventide, SugarBytes, XLN, Pianoteq, Organteq, Zynaptiq, PSP, Valhalla, Soundtoys, Softube, Relab, Unify and the lot, maybe even throw in some EastWest but no Kontakt, no. Love this feeling. Free at last. 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I have had a single project that doesn't use at least one instance of KONTAKT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esteban Villanova Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Yeah, Kontaktlessness is akin to madness for me lol But you’re pretty well covered so you should be alright. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Russ Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I don't think I would want to try that, but good luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Fowler Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I find Kontakt incredibly user-unfriendly, and a pain on my eyes. All the same, I'd be loathe to give up the access it grants, especially to the straightaheadsamples libraries! And doesn't this mean losing the Bechstein you like so much, Fleer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Nah, I’m being coy, shy and bashful, as Edith would say. Too much in love with too many Kontakt libraries to part with them, like that wonderful Bechstein and everything from OrangeTreeSamples or Soundiron and the like. So I’m keeping them warm and fuzzy on my desktop rig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Before you abandon KONTAKT, think about the employees of hard drive companies and their families, Fleer. Think about the children!!! Come back to KONTAKT. Do the right thing and order those additional hard drives tonight. For the children.

chris.r Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 There is life without Kontakt?? 😱 You'll have to share with us your experience Or is it to show Edith she's in the first place in your life... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand - one SD3 full library and you're maxed out 😁 (I joke about the size of SD3 libraries, but they are very good) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would feel free if the count of VSTs would be under 10 in my DAW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people don't like it because they say it's ugly, and there's a fairly high cost for entry. Other than that, nothing - if you have enough space for the libraries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
