aidan o driscoll Posted Thursday at 05:16 PM Share Posted Thursday at 05:16 PM (edited) It needs HALion Sonic 7.1 installed for X-Stream to work inside it. Total size near 2GB .. no thanks In the steinberg email it says: After launching the Steinberg Download Assistant, open the ‘My product downloads’ heading on the left side, where you will find your X-Stream. Download and install the recommended components (including the free HALion Sonic 7.1), then run X-Stream in HALion Sonic 7.1. That along with FIVE Steinberg Download assistant apps installed on your system Edited Thursday at 05:19 PM by aidan o driscoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Lawler Posted Friday at 11:13 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:13 PM Steinberg is a rather app happy cluster-kluge with their stuff. Install assistant, Download assistant, Activation manager, and Library manager should be all-in-one. I guess I can dump the eLicenser Control now, since I've upgraded away from it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks who complain about Native Access, Steinberg brings a whole other level of complications to installations. I've bought some Steinberg libraries in the past, but more recently, I tend to avoid it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That along with FIVE Steinberg Download assistant apps installed on your system If you use any Kontakt Instruments, it's really not much different. To use a single Kontakt instrument, you need to install 3 applications. You need Native Access (Download Manager) to install it, Kontakt Player (Or Full) to run it and the library itself for inside Kontakt. The libraries are often much larger than 2GB as well. It's pretty common with anything that uses samples, or wavetables, so that's pretty unavoidable if they do. Quite a few Devs will also have their own downloader for Kontakt Instruments. This is often required above Native Access. This would install the activation app, which could really be combined with the download manager and you would get one extra app which is to manage the libraries. More relevant if you were going to be installing more Halion libraries. 1 or 2 extra apps that run on demand only and the size doesn't really seem like much of an issue if it sounds good. I've installed it, but haven't tried it yet, so I can't comment on sound, but it's not much different to Kontakt. It just seems like more if its the first Halion instrument you're installing.
