hi, how do you reduce memory being used like with the bbc symphony orchestra like the same way you showed us with using kontakt? :)

If you took advantage of Spitfire's spring sale, you could have gotten every Spitfire library shown there, plus Masse and Harp, for $1522. Symphonic Strings + Symphonic Brass + Symphonic Woodwinds + Masse + Harp was just $898. Chamber Strings could had be bought for $355 after buying the SSS+SSB+SSW+Masse+Harp bundle, and Albion V was $269.

[@benji272]

@@Justin.Franks I wish I had $1522 lying around for that

[@meldmagic]

🦉 Create a user account on Spitfire's website & add all the sample libraries you want in your wishlist. One day you'll get a special offer. I only have the original Albion which has been upgraded to Albion One. They do have some free samples in the Lab section.

This is really quite eye-opening. I've had Kontakt 6 full and never really paid it any mind because it was so taxing on my system. Thank you, Guy!! Not all heroes wear capes!

[@jamesdonnelly2861]

Just popping in to say thank you for your time. You are a really great, to the point, teacher. No rambling, great editing. Perfect.

[@MacMic333]

Guy, you are easily the best Logic instructor around and I wish you had been doing this years ago when I started trying to make music.I learnt so much today that I thought I already knew.Thankyou!

[@jorgenudvang3507]

You just saved my life. I started using Kontakt 6 yesterday, and every time I thought I had understood something, there was another obstacle popping up. Like swimming butterfly with hurdles. Now I just have to watch this video 17 more times so that I can be sure that I will be able to connect my brain with all my thumbs, those thumbs that push the buttons on my keyboards.

[@mattavalon]

Hi Guy! Great series of really helpful videos! I started your course Music For The Media a good 10 years ago, kids came along and composing had to be put on back burner but great to see you still working hard and inspiring us all! Thanks

[@grahamwitcher105]

Fabulous stuff Guy. This short tutorial answers a lot of questions that I and I am sure a few others have had on this instrument. Thank you.

[@hasznoneother]

And just like that you've confirmed existing knowledge and introduced new knowledge all in one stroke beautifully. You're one of those people whom you enjoy being taught by and listening to period! Saying that this is useful really wouldn't do it justice your wisdom does all the work in an instant....you're the truth sir!!

[@dewlay2]

You are a breath of fresh air, this informative tutorial of yours has just saved me a lot of frustrations. Thank You! Thank You Guy ! Stay safe and I'm certainly am looking forward to your next post.

[@audioanouproductions6730]

Thank You so much for taking the time to teach us all you know and discover. I have watched your videos now for over a year and I have learned so much. This one is invaluable as I have taken the plunge and upgraded my studio and bought some high end libraries. A few use Kontakt 6 and I just didn't know where to start. So, Thank, thank you, thank you...you have just solved a massive hurdle that I needed to leap over. Cheers from California. Manny Lee

[@MrHatmando]

Guy you are just adorably brilliant, every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new whether I want to or not. Thank you so much.

[@Viewfinderrr]

Thanks Guy - that may well have been life changing!! This is the first explanation I've found of using multiple instruments in one instance! Cheers!

[@jpuffer108]

Brilliant tutorial! Echoing an earlier comment, I learned more about setting up Kontact in this video than in the hourse I spent surfing KZbin! Thanks, Guy!

[@lillilelli]

I love the way Guy teaches things, even if im totally elsewhere musicallywise. (imma technohead) He is The #1 audio gentleman :)

I spend my morning coffee time watching Guy's videos. He channels the energy I need to start working on my music every day. Great video, as always!

[@simonleesax4788]

Thanks Guy. I was trying to explain to someone on gearslutz the differences with the player and paid version. You’ve done this and much more. I’ve learned a lot from this video👍🏽

[@CreanetivityYT]

Finally some very good explanations about the deeper mysteries of Kontakt, in particular well-suited for beginners (just like myself) who have been more focused on using the DAW. Thank you, Guy !

[@ThinkSpaceEducation]

Thx!

[@merlynscave]

How amazing that I found this today as I have just got Kontakt 6 and a string library and can’t get it to play through Logic. Cheers for that tutorial.

[@rdpatterson2682]

You have no idea how helpful this video is. Thank you so much.

[@midiland09]

Thank you so much for this great video! I checked and checked and there are many videos on this subject, but ALL from people who CANNOT explain and CANNOT go to the point. YOU CAN, so many thanks for that.

[@viperwavstudios]

Man this was a super helpful refresher. I routinely switch from working in Cubase, to video production in Premiere pro, to After effects then back to Cubase, and with the big gaps I sometimes forget little things like the multi outputs, and enabling the faders and such so this was super helpful as a reminder, thank you for that.

[@KieronEdwards]

What a great tutorial - like all the best ones - wish I'd watched it years ago. Many thanks.

[@dabistudio_japan]
