Audio dropouts in Kontakt 8

hibtro

Hi!

I am experiencing issues with Kontakt 8.3.0 on a Mac Studio M2 Max with Sonoma 14.7.2 on Cubase 14.

When playing several notes after another the audio might dropout momentarily. The sound will get clipped just as soon as the notes are released. When the dropouts occur, the disk usage indicator will turn red, although on 0%. It happens regularly with different libraries. Atm I experience the issue with Spitfire Solo Cello, but it happens with Native's own piano libraries such as The Gentleman as well. All my libraries are installed on a Samsung SSD hard drive which has about a 100 GB available. Is there any easy way to fix it?

The video below shows the behavior of this issue.

Just a basic check here : Have you given ALL NI apps including NTKDaemon and the DAW full disk access ? : How to Enable Full Disk Access on macOS

And do the disks have correct format ? : Notes on Network Drives and Disk Formats

.

Another thing to check and try is : If you have any cloud synced folder or network drives then try turning that off also to see if that makes any difference.

.

How Can I Optimize the Performance of Kontakt?

Please let us know if any of that were of any help.

Thank you for the fast reply! NI apps didn't have full disk access. Now they do and that seems to have fixed the issue! Thank you! :)
