The documentation from NI will tell you how to install libraries. No, the plugin manager doesn't do that. Kontakt is the plugin, not the individual libraries within.

^^^^^^ This for starters. As far as improving the Staff View: if it was that easy, don't you think the Bakers would have done it by now? There must be some technical reason - beyond laziness or disinterest - why it hasn't been done. I suspect it has to do with the fundamental difference in how DAWs and notation handle things. Music notation is merely a guide - a roadmap for the performer whereas a DAW is built on the paradigm of a tape recorder which captures and then reproduces a specific performance. Notation can not convey all the subtle intricacies of performance and interpretation that a musician brings to a piece but a recording can. A strict rendering of notation produces a stiff and lifeless result and an attempt to precisely notate every aspect of a performance results in an extremely messy score that is nearly impossible to read. My preferred solution is to use each application for it's intended purpose, based on it's strengths, instead of fighting with things. I ultimately find life much easier that way.

I always try out any new plug-in with a dummy test project before I use it on anything I would care about.

Which was pretty stupid when you think about it. How did the naysayers think these synthesisers were going to get played? None of these products write the music for you. Even with loops, it still takes work to mold them into something worthwhile. Same with Band-in-a-Box; you still have to write the song and the more you put in to working with the tools, the better results you get.

Iron Maiden is still bringing it. As is Judas Priest. Rush did it up until the end.

You should not run it in admin mode. Causes all kinds of problems.

You are likely to have better results if you have everything connected before launching CW.

None. Also, unless you really need to be mobile, a desktop is a far superior choice.

This is the equivalent of you claiming that your car is defective because the starter grinds if you turn the key while the engine is already running.

That's not a software error, that's user error.

And this really comes as a surprise to anyone?

You can edit the threads title and add the word "solved." But rest assured, two or three years from now someone will bring this thread back to life and say "I have the same problem. Anyone found a solution?"

My God. Makes one wonder how we ever managed to beat the Nazis.

Well, my wife sings, plays guitar, dabbles with keyboard, ukulele, doumbek and she's smoking hot. If that isn't incontrovertible proof right there, I don't know what is.

Did you read the documentation? https://fael-downloads-prod.focusrite.com/customer/prod/downloads/Scarlett 4i4 3rd Gen User Guide V2.pdf

One thing you haven't mentioned trying is reading the manual....

I have witnessed the exact opposite numerous times
