I just downloaded Kontakt 7 on my windows pc for ableton. At first I had an issue with native access not opening. Once I resolved that, I had an incident with Kontakt blacking out my screen when open. I found out that was due to G-Sync, so I had to turn that off to fix that issue. Now, Kontakt crackles and pops when open. An instrument, it doesnt matter which, itll just pop while any midi is playing. I bounced it to audio and it was in the audio. I dont understand why this is. I cant go back to Kontakt 6 because all the new play series instruments I want to use are not compatible with that version.


I already checked directX Diagnostics:

Seems like a ridiculous amount of hoops and ladders to jump through to get this plugin to work. Glad I did the montly rental as opposed to buying these packs outright for hundreds of dollars.

    Are you using ASIO for your sound?

    What you’re describing sounds like you’ve got the buffer set too low, try setting it to 256 and sample rate to 44100hz and see if that helps.

    Yes ASIO. Thats the settings I have. Ive never experienced this issue until I downloaded Kontakt 7 and now I hear the clicking in every project without it even in there or on. I changed it to 512 buffer size and the clicking reduced a lot but still happens sometimes. Ive never had to mess with that before though, not sure why that would suddenly be causing the issue
