The DAW myth. I read some members on VI Control still use this. Someone here said they use it more than the bloated HO. The biggest concern is the space needed for Hollywood Orchestra. How much stuff from Waves is older like Maxx plugins but people still use them. Age is overrated. I'm was watching a thread about a new bloated library people were gushing over. Never mind that unique library eats up over 300gb of space.

Thinking about a 2nd license. I like this one.

Sort of. Can be bloated to EW proportions. I had to delete all of their free stuff to make room. I haven't really learn how to use it yet. You get nice crossgrade price if you have the Kontatk versions. Since I had every string library I ended up with Adastra Strings for $50. I do like Disco Strings. It seems you can tweak a lot of it. You can even make your own libraries.

I have an external USB nvme 2TB drive and for got to format it and almost filled. exfat is not a good idea unless you use Mac as well. I don't. Now I have to start over. Hopefully it is faster.

Hopefully I'm getting a sense of reality with too many sample libraries. Something has to give when you almost max out 7TB of libraries. Getting larger drives is always a solution but then you max out 10TB. I live for the day when developers don't promote bloat is better. The end user can't seem to divorce that idea either. I've cleared over 200GB of Kontakt stuff. Take inventory of how much you really use in Komplete. How much can be run off a HDD? What I liked about some of those Sonokinetic libraries is you can install 16 bit versions.

I have no desire to game in 4K. I'm still using a 1660. I have no desire to upgrade the most overpriced piece of hardware.

90GB? EW and Soundpaint are jealous.

Who told you that? nVidia? Cases are such a crapshoot. I try to keep using the old ones and I still use a 5.25 bay. I still use HDDs for storage.

Sometimes I do it for the extra license since I have 3 machines.

It's not the old NI or Izotope we are dealing with. K7 to me was a blemish.

these require iLok?

Read those updates thoroughly. If you still like using Kontakt 6 some of your libraries won't open.

They price their plugins at 299 Still trying to avoid hoarding free plugins - I rarely download most of them. If i do they go on a storage drive. It seems you can't download directly without their app. This is the one they starts with Windows. It makes sense if you have their hardware. Their Volt 1 is one sale for $139 - I thought about this interface at one time.

it was a connection issue. I consider myself an expert by now dealing with NI's failures.
