Bull. If you're having performance issues it isn't due to iLok but to other factors. For example I have problems with a number of IKM's VSTs because of their CPU killing performance issues and they don't use iLok. If you need to setup a new machine, reinstall your OS, or if an OS update changes your computer ID and you've got a lot a of plugins iLok can be a blessing. I recently upgraded my SSD and had to go through dozens of plugin reauthorizations, but not my iLoks.

Way back when - I use to be a fanboy but their upgrade policy of making you pay nearly full price for really minor updates soured me. Maybe they've changed but at this point don't care.

go under Preferences > Driver Settings (under Audio) and increase your Buffer Size

Too bad you can't stack Wave's coupons. The bundle coupon + the $10 coupon would be tempt me, but either alone is a ponder...

Dude (shakes head) - that's why you've got to buy 2 of them!

If we're not interested... can we re-lock it?

Or just download the installers from here: https://www.applied-acoustics.com/portal/products/ This link should be added to OP.

Oh boy another Fecesbook poop, I mean Facebook group! When I saw the announcement I was hoping for a decent platform.

ooh, shiny!

Hi Simeon - let us know how it goes. I might be interested in this depending on your experience with it. Thanks

Bah! Humbug! Are there no poor houses for deal forum members! Be gone! <what? really? I overslept? Rats, must have mixed up my meds again...> <ahem> Sorry - wrong holiday! Happy New Year!! <what do you mean I already missed it? Hell with it, I'm outta here.>

From Abyss Kontakted web site: This may only apply to version 4.0 (they are now on v4.5) but doesn't say on web site whether they ever found a way around the issue.

PITCHMAP Updated to Version 1.7.0 January 1st, 2021: We've just updated PITCHMAP to version 1.7.0. This update adds support for all standard sampling rates up to 192kHz, our current preset manager, various user interface updates, notarization for macOS Catalina and newer, and numerous smaller under-the-hood fixes and enhancements. PITCHMAP 1.7.0 is a free update, and recommended for all users. The update is available now from the PITCHMAP downloads page. https://www.zynaptiq.com/pitchmap/ https://www.zynaptiq.com/pitchmap/pitchmap-downloads/

You can do hacks to get your unauthorized library to show in the library section but there's no guarantee that it'll stay there or work after future Kontakt updates. I've got the Clara library that the developer modded to show in library section and for Kontakt 5.x it worked (though it always had an unactivated warning), with Kontact 6.x it shows in the Library section as needing repair and you can't run it from the library section.

That's assuming that they're not talking about the graphic on the library tab. With that some companies 'get it' and have one other don't or don't bother and you get the blank. Edit: it look like NI is cracking down on lazy developers - I just check Kontakt 6 and all of the registered libraries now have banner graphics. Another story for the mini graphic in Native Access.

Here's a quick & dirty walkthrough to using QuickLoad: In Quickload you can create folders & subfolders to organize your libraries. For example in my illustration above I have __Misc Libs and _Percussion to hold assorted libraries.

They all use NKI, some use Snapshots as well. Edit: look at my next post, you'll see my 'Rigid Audio' folder in the Quickload left column where mine appear in QuickLoad. To use the Snapshots there's a song & dance you do once you've loaded that library (sorry don't recall the steps off the top of my head). Once you load the Snapshots I'm pretty sure you have to save the library (think Ctrl-S works) to keep them there for the next time.

Quickload is cleaner, easier to navigate, & easy to maintain. It's just missing the pretty banners which when you've got a lot of libraries take up a lot of space and aren't that useful.

It started with a Supreme Court ruling (June 21, 2018) - by now most states have stepped up their tax collection game and now mandate tax charged based on buyer location.

Also: Harmonic section in IMD mode still showed THD for second plugin (if loaded). Plus: fixed race conditions on button clicks.

I bought a Kushview Element perpetual license early on & was promised a lifetime license of free updates for early backing. When Element didn’t make enough profit the developer abandoned the project & converted it to open source - which is better than a swift kick in the nuts, but not by a lot. One of the biggest issues I ran into was a buffer problem where you’d get distortion when using heavy CPU plugins like 2Caudio’s Kaleidoscope. As far as I know this issue was never fixed though I haven’t bothered checking the project in months. Overall I found Element interesting, fun to play with but of limited use - YMMV so try it yourself. I bought Metaplugin because it looked like it could do what I want, and is still being actively supported by a seasoned developer.

I bought DDMF's Metaplugin https://ddmf.eu/metaplugin-chainer-vst-au-rtas-aax-wrapper/ so that I could create plugin chains to use across multiple DAWs but with the other holiday toys I've picked up I still haven't gotten around to using it. Let me know how Gig Performer works out for you.
