Use NOIRE in Kontakt 8 on stage

Cren Larvor

Hello everyone, I'd like to use NOIRE in Kontakt 8 on stage. I'm testing it by running my backing tracks in Cubase 14 and using NOIRE in Kontakt 8 standalone. I have two questions:

• The volume level of NOIRE in Kontakt is very low compared to other Kontakt plug-ins. I already go to > Preference > Default volume for new instrument > 0dB, and also set the instrument volume (top right) to 0dB. But the level is still relatively low. Is there a way to increase the volume otherwise?
• Is there a way to natively set a limiter in Kontakt 8 to avoid clipping on stage if I ever play too loudly?
• Do you have any other important recommendations for using Kontakt 8 on stage?

Thank you.

Hello,

you can click on thew wrench sign on the top left of the instrument, then press F2 if you don´t see the mixer already. Then you can add maybe the "transparent limiter" under out 1 and lower the threshold to -10dB or whatever works for you. Hopefully someone else can help out with some useful tricks about using kontakt in a live environment. I only know that there are specialized vst hosts for live performance like "gig performer" or "vst live".
