The whole NI Service Center is a major hassle if you have to update libraries. It doesn't remember the install locations while Kontakt does. It makes Waves Central look brilliant.
Same here. I'll be fine with Melda, IK, and Izotope. Those are also the most license friendly plugins. Also very little confusion updating unlike Waves.
It would be mine if it were less. My Kontakt libraries are equaling the same amount of my plugins. This is another one of those developers I added to my own everything list.
I treat loop prices like plugins prices. I don't like their player or any other loop player. I couldn't pay $50 for any loop library these days when there is so much competition out there that great stuff is easily had for under $20.
