    Just a question: is Kontat 5.7.3 harder to crack than 5.6.8 ? Or is it because Teams don't really care about mac users anymore ? thanks

    I don’t understand why Kontakt has been cracked since 10 years and version 5.7.3 is not yet and worst
    Maybe impossible...:dunno:

    This may need a separate thread but couldn’t a few of us get together to fund someone to release Kontakt 5.7.3. I know this goes against the ethos of the sister site but there are so many posts concerned with work arounds and solutions to the problem - that wouldn’t it make sense to generate some funds to pay for someone to spend the time to do it? I’d do it if I knew how. What do people think?

  7. I bit into an apple and found that I had chewed on a worm, and so in my disgust threw it as hard as I could away from me, but the fruit was slimy, my aim not true, and I mistakenly broke my neighbor Linux's window.

    Shit happens.

    You bought a Mac and are now unhappy due to the lack of cracked software. I'd go back to your research team, and ask for a refund.

    I got yelled at for this idea.. But really Kontakt is the one plugin that even if we bought the full mac version wouldn't help.

    the actual problem is that nobody besides R2R is doing mac releases. the mac audio scene is pretty much dead, even more dead as the pc audio scene.

    Well, I have to admit, Windows has some updates already available while Mac is staying behind lately. For example: FabFilter bundle, iZotope Ozone 8 Advanced, iZotope RX6 and Kontakt indeed. I'm not complaining because I buy most of my tools but sometimes it's still helpful to bridge sale periods (easter, summer, black friday, winter etc.) or test stuff a little longer without demo limitations. Talking about buying, there are some constructions - besides sale periods - to get everything a bit cheaper. Using a combination of 2nd hand, crossgrades and discounts/coupons.

    For the peeps that are interested in Kontakt, did you know that there's a crossgrade available with FREE Sennheiser DrumMic's library? :)

    I was surprised btw with the Magix Sound Forge release for Mac by V.R.

    Spent too much money for your might mac, so no money left for legit copies of plug-ins? that's your problem.

    It's definitely a very weak and very recurrent argument on the internet...
    It is not because we bought an expensive computer that we can not have another project for the money we earn than to buy plugins that we can get for free...
    (And I buy a lot of them by the way)
    Kontakt for example is not very interesting. It's only a capsule for some instruments I choose to use. If I can have it for free, I will not complain.
    If it had more interesting possibilities like Falcon or Halion, I might consider buying it.

    it's up to Native Instruments to move their ass and give a second youth to this old plug.

    If you care about cracked stuff, why bother buying Macs in the first place? It's no secret that Mac releases always have been harder to come by than windows ones.

    It's just I don't care THIS much about cracked stuff.

    We can sometimes be nuanced and not see just white and black.

    If it were as simple as just buying Kontakt I would probably have already done that. It is a unique issue with all the newer shared libs that will only work in the k'ed version. People who use macs use them for numerous reasons and some use both mac and windows so I don't see that is relevant.

    I was afraid this might ignite the Mac vs PC debate. I was trying to suggest way forward for the Kontakt 5.7 MAC issue. So if there’s anyone who might be able help with it get in touch as there seems to be an appetite for a solution.
    (Even the NI website has large numbers of posts about it.)

    Was it a 5.7 version and did it work properly?
