One Tip to INSTANTLY Improve KONTAKT Performance

So , I’m not using an ssd but I am storing and running all my plugins ( kontakt etc ) from a 4.5tb external . Will this concept apply with my setup aswell ? Thanks alot for the info btw !

Nie advice thanks. I had a question, I'm about to create my new orchestra template and wanted to make the most of my Ram. I have the M2 Max arriving next week which is 12core CPU, 96gb Ram & 8TB. I know the 8TB is most likely overkill and the ram too, but would you suggest having the preload buffer size maxed out? I'm sure the M2 will manage everything, but wanted to utilise the ram. And I'm guessing I'm fine with having all my VST Orchestra samples on the 8TB? Thanks

I find it confusing still. To prioritise CPU you lower the buffer size below the default value?

I just got kontakt, im messing with a drum (any sound actually) loop pattern and on FL studio its failing to play completely through, no pops or noises but just like failing to properly drum the last half of the 4 bars to complete the loop. If I multi two sounds on kontakt it slightly struggles to play the intended loops. Task Manager doesnt show anything struggling but it happens when CPU reaches 20%, ive tried your advice but have no results. Is it in the realm of possibility you might know of a solution for me?

Hello! I have a question. Do you install your Komplete sound libraries onto an external hard drive--If so, how big? It's taking up too much space on my Mac hard drive. 🙂

Multi's has alot of advantages. Imagine if you have some broken libraries that are on different drive or moved, on a multi you can fix it once but on single instances you will have to fix all. Now imagine a 20+ instance that swill be a pain. Yes multis have some setting up routing but when its a habit its a good way to go.

definitely gonna look into this buffer thing. never touched it before and frankly had no idea how it affects memory/cpu usage so thanks for this! also, hate hate hate hate hate kontakt multi's. not only do you have to fight against the audio multi-out matrix of doom, trying to figure out which kontakt library corresponds to which midi track omg, so not worth the marginal performance efficiency you get. single kontakt instance per library all the way! by the way, nice choice with the vertical monitor!
