Another tip is to store your Kontakt Librairies on a SSD and use the DFD option on Kontakt to stream the samples a little more from the disk and less from the RAM. You can save up a lot of RAM with that technique. I don't recommend doing this on a HDD cause usually, streaming from the disk is slower than RAM and you don't wanna spend an hour loading a patch, lol. Or you can be like Dirk Ehlert and get 64Gb of RAM! :D Anyway, nice work, Alex.

Mozes da mi pomognes? Video sam u jednom od klipova da Alex u pattern-u ima grupe ( A, B, C, D..), na mestu gde pise Grupa A, tu mu je aktiviran sampler( Kontakt ) a ispod su instrumenti koji su aktivirani u toj grupi (A). On je prakticno napravio pattern tako da mu ide grupa A na pocetku tipa, i onda ispod toga idu instrumenti iz te grupe, pa onda B grupa, takodje instrumenti iz te grupe itd... Izgleda mi kao da ima ukljucenih 5 kontakta a aktivirano 30+ instrumenata.

Nic Allen for real!? I have a laptop, not sure if I can change ram to go up. Im broke from getting so many instruments for kontakt. I just try to go into one of them taking whole entire night and tried to disabled all instruments.... It worked and load so quickly now. 😂 But that would mean I have to keep disable before quitting and make sure I dont turn on too many of them.

@@tuck295q you can upgrade ram on a laptop pretty easy. The process of replacing/adding a stick is not difficult whatsoever. Just find a stick thats the same frequency and slap it in there. You can get em cheap off ebay. But try razer cortex, it frees up ram and disables unnecessary processes. It frees up to 1.2 gbs of ram when i use it

I did the purging and yes, the ram amount in the kontakt instances went to 0, but still, Logic itself kept on using the same amount of ram in memory. This can be seen in the activity monitor (Mac OS). Even after having restarted Logic and all the Kontakt instances are showing 0 mb ram used, according to the activity monitor, Logic is still using that same amount of ram.

Can someone answer this question for me. I should probably experiment more but so you know how towards the end when he has like 10-15 instruments loaded in one instance of Kontakt, if you want certain instruments with different volumes, would you just use a mod wheel or just lower the fader on the actual instrument itself or something like that? Basically when I do it with multiple instruments in one instance and change the volume of a track, they all change together

Two questions, just so I make sure I understood everything well. Firstly, if whenever I open a particular project I'm working and there are too many samples that I should I purge, should I purge the samples every time I open the project? And secondly, should I purge samples both before I've composed anything - with the kontakt and the instruments opened in it - and after I've made a composition?

I also want to ask that I am using cinematic strings,cinebrass,action strikes ane many more heavy libraries... sometimes my fl studio goes into underrun and produces the crackling sounds and renders the the track very badly.... when I hear the rendered track it chops the sounds which are legatto... why this is happening? is it due to my 8gb ram?? or should I expand more ram???

@drumfrik 7 жыл бұрын
Hi, i don't get this sentence "so i can play parts separate in 1 pattern in the piano roll if possible". Are you trying to play multiple instruments at the same time, assigned in different parts (octaves) of the piano roll? If i'm right, i don't know if it's possible. Anyway, normally, when you load multiple instruments in kontakt, each instruments are automatically assigned on a different midi channel (as A(1), A(2) etc...) Then you go to the edit window of your DAW (FL) and assign as inputs the following channels. It will be Input -> Kontakt channel 1, then for the next track Input -> Kontakt channel 2 etc... Hope I was able to help you.
