Locating libraries on a new computer with drives from the old one
Hi folks. I've just done a clean install of Sequoia on my macPro. I have a clone of the previous version of the drive, and I'm hoping to restore everything in Kontakt to what it was before I wiped my system drive. All of my instrument files are installed across several sample drives, and so I would think that I'd be…

Incorrect chord names in Chords Tool?
Check out the Blessed preset in the Chords Tool. The 5th circle (mapped to the G key) is labeled an Abm(add 9)/G. Umm, no. It's actually Fm9/G (a variation of the fourth inversion). Are there any others that are incorrect?

Is 2400 RAM to 3200 a worthwhile upgrade?
I have a 16GB 2400 RAM chip in my Acer Aspire 5. It's the most I can fit. There's 4GB RAM built in. Is 3200 going to make Studio One run any better? In each song, I use two or three Native Instruments Session Guitarists, Superior Drummer, EZbass and sometimes EZkeys.

Why does Kontakt reset dynamics value whenever I close and reopen session in Logic Pro?
I bought Kontakt 8 yesterday and I ran into this problem. Whatever I set to be the dynamics value on an instrument, it will be back to minimum value when I restart the session. At first I thought this was a problem with a freebie orchestra instrument I was using, or something written to a midi event, but I tested and it…

Is there an update for Spotlight: Ireland coming to fix the bad sustain loops?
Hi folks, I guess this is more of a question for the NI spotlight product owner, but I'm really surprised at the poor quality of the sustain loops on the wind instruments in "fast" playing style. Unfortunately the "slow" playing style has bad intonation in the initial onset - every note seems to scoop upward by enough…

Downloaded Claire, unable to use
My first venture into the NI environment after avoiding it for years, so far: no love. I purchased and downloaded Claire because I love the sound and it works with the free player - which I downloaded at the same time from Native Access. Upon trying to open Claire for the first time, it said that my Player was too old.…

How to deal with 2-bar phrases (in any Session Guitarist) starting in middle of pattern.
(Note: This question possibly applies to any Session Guitarist library, not necessarily just the one I'm using.) I'm using a 2-bar pattern for my chorus, but my chorus is 15 bars long, instead of 16 bars. So, the next time the chorus rolls around, Session Guitarist starts playing the 2-bar pattern halfway through, which…

Fix sound in midi keyboard
I am new to this. Just downloaded Komplete 15 standard. Wanting to mainly use the piano sounds. However, as I load them into Logic Pro, when I play the C note above middle C, it seems to produce two or three different sounds. And I can't seem to figure out why. Playing any music get on that note doesn't sound smooth. Any…
