The best part is requires real Kontakt and no need for K7 and you avoid Native Asshat.

I'm thinking of deleting all of it except for their 385mb bombastic orchestra. Amazed how good it is in an era of bloated software.

This is why I fear the sub model.

https://www.youtube.com/@SAMTIME He makes fun of a lot of tech.

Living in the desert where it's always at least 110+. People say it's a dry heat. Like oh that's much more tolerable. I'd say after 13 years of it - no it's not. Then there are the out of staters who think it's macho hoping to post a selfie of them hiking in 110+ where it's elevated and very close to burning up in the atmosphere either die or have to get rescued by copter. There is something called the stupid fine which is costly for being stupid. Still amazed the amount of road construction this time of year and a house in the neighborhood is having a new roof put on.

Driving one thru New Mexico to Tuscon, AZ would be an expensive suicide.

So if you have Essentials is it really worth installing this? Ignore that it is free and we like to hoard.

I wonder which one will show up first? The PA voucher or this one?

since it's NI there might be laughter in the background

Same here so I wonder outside of free is this worth taking up space.

Isn't that a NI library. I'm thinking of deleting that free stuff even though it taking up HDD space.

Or do they? Sure they want to make money but I don't think the spreadsheet is the top priority. Just look at their licensing and how many paid upgrades there have been since it came out. Small developers can do things the big ones can't.

Give it some time. They may possibly revert. There is no shortage of DAWs.

I'm the opposite on this. Most of the software I have requires online activation anyway so I've gotten use to it. While thy don't get high marks for customer loyalty but then again maybe they with Jam Points that can be used on hardware (try that NI) I've had support respond within 24 hours. We have Pete who responds on many forums. They are just another developer where there is rarely a middle when it comes to users. It's either love or hate. My biggest complaint is their software is bloated. It seems IK is very good at sample modeling yet they don't go in this direction enough. I love MODO Bass and it's under 1TB. Look at Toontrack and UJAM, their libraries are not small. Their licensing is more than fair. Few remember that it didn't take IK long to ditch iLok.

Not as huge as the file size.

When something goes on Bapu's "not gonna buy list", then you made it big time,

Best advice that even I don't follow is to delete many of them. The plugins don't really take up a lot of space. The space they use up is their presets and other stuff found in those odd Windows folders like app data.

Not enough kids read anymore for entertainment plus the market for hard copies of anything print is shrinking. I must admit some of the stuff for kids I enjoy like Captain Underpants, Dog Man, Diary of A Wimpy Kid, Dork Diaries.

Who cares? I never knew he existed 10 years ago. The average person probably never watches a movie because Zimmer had something to do with it.

I guess you never had to deal with Amplitude and Tonex updates.

But wait.........we are suppose to justify the cost be relating it to fast food which some of us can't partake. So it's like buying 3 cases of Sam's Club K-cups which totals out to 300 cups of coffee. 22 bottles of budget wine. I can't relate it to eggs since the pricing is never consistent

Fixed an issue that caused excessively long Loading Products times. More work will be done. I'll chalk that up to the nature of the beast. It's a very large catalog. I still prefer to use Kontakt 6 because it's easy on the eyes.

but....we like shiny and new..........every new synth is great despite some serious producers will still rely on Massive. Sylenth, Spire.

Comparing software to food is not logical especially comparing to fast food. It's a foolish habit to relate that way. This can't die soon enough,

Unfortunately you have to rely on other users. If you open it then it will update. It like opening an email virus.
