Stradivari Cello not working / Recommended minimum system requirements for Windows?

Vili

Having problems using STRADIVARI CELLO. Sound is crackling and distorting when using DAW. Not usable. I am assuming my laptop is not strong enough. This is my first time going into more advanced plugins and I am currently building my home studio and also looking into what laptop I am gonna get. Could not find any minimum system requirements for Stradivari Cello, or in general to be sure I could run all the products, especially regarding the Graphic Card. Could someone recommend some minimum requirements, so I can have some reference on what to look into?
I am using Windows.
Thnx

Hi @Vili you can find the specs for Kontakt 7 here: https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/samplers/kontakt-7/specifications/

Adjusting the buffer size should help with the crackling as @DunedinDragon suggested. Here are other ways you can optimize Kontakt's performance:

Well the minimum requirements are going to be more related to the DAW you're using, but it's most likely you need to increase the size of the audio buffer or something along those lines. If it runs fine standalone it's either something related to your DAW configuration or a simple lack of processing power on the laptop when running in the DAW.
