    How many versions back for the best Komplete upgrade price?

    As you may know, native instruments is doing their 50% off deal on everything right now. I currently have Komplete ultimate version 12 and I can upgrade to version 14 for $199. However, I don't necessarily need to upgrade yet, but if they only allow that great price for two versions back and I...

    Will a midi controller help lag and stutter on laptop?

    Great info thank you. I'm using the latest Studio One, not Cubase, but I'm assuming there are probably similar settings to tweak.

    Will a midi controller help lag and stutter on laptop?

    I have a Steinberg UR22 on my PC and I have no issues. The sound passes through the controller and out of speakers. However, my laptop, which has a new generation i7, 32GB RAM, and Windows 11, has horrible stuttering. I won't be home to test this for a week which is why I'm asking. What I'm...

    Is Vintage Horns 2 included in any version of NI Komolete?

    I'm considering getting it during the current sale, but I'll also be upgrading my Komplete Ultimate 12 to 14 when they do their 50 percent sale. Speaking of which, how many versions back do you get the massive upgrade discount? I think 12 to 14 does, but would 12 to 15?

    Is there a market for electric drum sets? I don't know what to do with mine.

    I have a Yamaha TP65 full kit. I'm not sure if that's TP65 is the name of one of the pads, to be honest, or the whole set. But I have the whole thing. When looking on craigslist, ebay, etc., there are lots of sets for sale, usually from $200-400, but I don't know if they are even selling. My...

    Synthesizer V - Vocaloid haters might want to check this

    Is it possible that the basic version of SynthV doesn't work as a VST? If you don't think the VST works well, how would I integrate the vocals with the rest of the music? Would I output this as a sound file? Shoot, do I need the full version also to output? I only see export as midi, UST (no...

    Thanks for the info. It'd be nice to see samples of other voices singing English, but your sample definitely proved it could work. I'd hate to buy one whose voice I like better than Kevin's and have it sound horrible. Too bad they don't have a 10-word demo limit or something.

    Recommendations for online piano instruction?

    I've not heard of that one till now. I tried to find reviews of it but all I see are videos from her.

    It's only money. I never buy something full price unless the client pays for it (built into the cost because I wanted it or a separate line item because they requested it). I do buy good deals some times if I have extra money because some times playing with something new can inspire new ideas.
