You probably already know that in order to use those top-notch, massive Kontakt libraries, you need a powerful CPU and enough RAM to get you through it. But even then, you might experience audio glitches or dropouts during playback. So, in today's video, I want to show you the one setting that can be an absolute game-changer for you and stop the headaches of stopping your production process to freeze tracks or purge all samples. Plus, I'm going to show you some more tips on how to maximize your RAM while you're using these libraries. This works for all users regardless of it being Kontakt 7, Kontakt 6, or older.

Nie advice thanks. I had a question, I'm about to create my new orchestra template and wanted to make the most of my Ram. I have the M2 Max arriving next week which is 12core CPU, 96gb Ram & 8TB. I know the 8TB is most likely overkill and the ram too, but would you suggest having the preload buffer size maxed out? I'm sure the M2 will manage everything, but wanted to utilise the ram. And I'm guessing I'm fine with having all my VST Orchestra samples on the 8TB? Thanks
I need help setting up the recommended unit allocation size for my 2TB SSD. Any recommendations?
So , I’m not using an ssd but I am storing and running all my plugins ( kontakt etc ) from a 4.5tb external . Will this concept apply with my setup aswell ? Thanks alot for the info btw !
definitely gonna look into this buffer thing. never touched it before and frankly had no idea how it affects memory/cpu usage so thanks for this! also, hate hate hate hate hate kontakt multi's. not only do you have to fight against the audio multi-out matrix of doom, trying to figure out which kontakt library corresponds to which midi track omg, so not worth the marginal performance efficiency you get. single kontakt instance per library all the way! by the way, nice choice with the vertical monitor!
My only vertical monitor supporter thus far! 😂
There are definitely reasons to use multis for creative purposes and, I believe when you're an orchestral composer above our skillset, it comes in handy to group articulations together or something.. that's out of my wheelhouse though lol.
Please answer me. I have Acer with slow cpu, and which version is better for me. Kontakt 6.7 full version or kontakt portable. Thanks.
Hello! I have a question. Do you install your Komplete sound libraries onto an external hard drive--If so, how big? It's taking up too much space on my Mac hard drive. 🙂
Yes! I have a 2TB that I use for K14 and my Heavyocity libraries. Collector’s Edition alone is 1TB lol. I have been using Samsung for years, currently the Samsung T7 Shield Portable SSD.
@@mkirbymusic Awesome! Thanks! That’s a lot of space, lol. 😅
I just got kontakt, im messing with a drum (any sound actually) loop pattern and on FL studio its failing to play completely through, no pops or noises but just like failing to properly drum the last half of the 4 bars to complete the loop. If I multi two sounds on kontakt it slightly struggles to play the intended loops. Task Manager doesnt show anything struggling but it happens when CPU reaches 20%, ive tried your advice but have no results. Is it in the realm of possibility you might know of a solution for me?
I wish I could help you with this one but since it's a DAW that I have no experience with, I'll suggest you post that on r/NativeInstruments with a screen shot of what's happening and I'm sure someone will give you an answer.
@@mkirbymusic Thanks, yea I found them later on and filled that out, gotta wait for them to return from some event haha just my luck. Have a good day!
My Kontakt is running in Demo … how do I solve that??
Multi's has alot of advantages. Imagine if you have some broken libraries that are on different drive or moved, on a multi you can fix it once but on single instances you will have to fix all. Now imagine a 20+ instance that swill be a pain. Yes multis have some setting up routing but when its a habit its a good way to go.
They definitely have advantages, and I have a video planned on a few of the reasons why you might want to use them. What you just said is an interesting benefit I wouldn’t have thought of!
I was pointing out in the video that using them to save CPU is an outdated thought, in my opinion. Assuming that someone is using an average RAM/CPU combo for production these days, there is a negligible difference in performance for the average users with 5-10 instances of Kontakt.
I find it confusing still. To prioritise CPU you lower the buffer size below the default value?
I guess lowering from 60 to 12 is what he meant at the end? 🤷♂️ Idk
How do you end up with 40GB ram? a 32 stick and an 8?
The 2020 iMac has four ram slots so I had 16gb x 2 and 4gb x 2. It was spec’d with 4gb x 4
It's not about CPU and Ram its about learning how to fucking code properly. Kontakt is garbage.
