Members program_insect Posted February 9, 2006 Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 I'm a little nervous because I recently committed to switching to Live for my main sequencer (really excited!) but I've heard a few reports that it doesn't play well with Native Instruments plugins, which are my main soft instruments. Problems seem to be worse on mac but I would definitely be interested in hearing any positive/negative experience on either platform! Thanks.

Members MuzikB Posted February 9, 2006 Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 No problems on my Mac's with Kontakt 2 but that's as far as I'm willing to go with their company as far as products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never experienced any problems, but I wouldn't say I'm a heavy user of softsynths. (Although I am of Live, and use a mac) B> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MuzikB Posted February 9, 2006 Members Share Posted February 9, 2006 Originally posted by program_insect Can you elaborate on that? I already have one of their flagship products and find it a real pain every time it's time to upgrade. For some reason my password needs to be changed every damn time I connect for an upgrade and I began writing it down after the second time. I've also had times when i put in the right password and not have it pass until the third or forth time. I hate their system for their website registration and repeatedly having to do it is far from joy. I think that they should take a lesson from Korg and Ableton. I like Kontakt 2 for what it presently presents and think I'll sit on it for a while but the above killed any enthusiasm on purchasing any more of their products. When something about a company upsets me, I don't support them. The power of choice and as Brad who used to work at Sweetwater knows, I'm a picky bastid when it comes to my music tools.
