When I download the Bob Dule version of Kontakt, can I use the cracked libraries I downloaded from the sites?

Because some of them have warnings like "full version of kontakt is required". Also, can you tell us a little about the .nict issue?

I heard that it is easier to install libraries in the portable version, is this true?

I'm new to this. I would be happy if you help. Thanks.

well have you tried?

 

The cracks are for the full version. The not full version is the Kontakt 'player' which is free but lacks a lot of features.
Just keep an eye on your antivirus - its gonna delete all the important parts. Remember some files are modified so they look like they are infected. No viruses from Bobdules stuff ever. You should grab TEAM R2R Kontakt Manager too - move the librarys to where you want to store it and a double click will install it. If you have a Komplete keyboard, do not use portable. Portable is fine if you want to run from an external and take to other PCs. But I have never had any issues with the installed BD version. Also, try to spend some time making music as opposed to getting lost in library hoarding :D It takes me hours just to preview all the sounds. But collecting is a fun hobby too.
Also thank you Bob, bought you a beer ;)

 

Bob is a good lad, he deserves a beer, I've been using his Kontakt releases for years now.

 

BD's kontakt and R2R's Kontakt manager. I think I understood correctly.

Thank you for this explanatory answer.

Well, can you give some explanation for extensions like nci, nki? Even if it's a summary, it's ok

 

Dude, you are a perfect person. Thank you so much.

Before you, I only knew how to use it in a DAW, but after your messages, I learned how to install it and how to add a library.

I hope things go well for you. Thank you very much.

One last question: Where can i find Nicnt Maker? i found this, is this ok?

nicnt maker is part of the Kontakt Button - its in the folder kontakt was installed into. If you dont see it, windows defender has struck again. I think the one you have if it works is fine.

 

NO....

This is your battlement scenario not hardly anyone else's. Folks have been installing scene Kontakt's (and the libraries thereof) for years and never had any type of "alert". Probably because a looooong time ago most ppl's have realized that warez, and a/v's, firewalls, active internet connections, and all other autonomous OS/app updater's, services, and the like do not mix. When these items are kept away from each other life is MUCH easier. just sayin'...

 

NO back at you.
When someone asks for help, the most common issue is anti-virus. For years people ask "where is the patcher?". For years people say "this download has a virus.". So hardly anyone else experiences this? A search shows you to be wrong there.
Also I state in my post that this is my experience, I am hardly going to post someone elses am I? Did I make things up?- no! - I went out of my way to install this on a pc that did not have Kontakt on it so I could document the way this works step by step when installed for the first time on a typical PC.
I prefer to be annoyed by an AV than rebuild my PC every-time something slips through. Not everyone has the luxury of a dedicated non internet connected, no anti virus music pc. I notice you offered nothing positive, posts like that are not helpful and I don't like them. You implied I was wrong as opposed to saying you do things a different way. What I do works well for me and has for years.

 

The libraries are not cracked. They are untouched.

 

It's not a problem for those that do not allow it to be a problem. The "hardly anyone else experiences this" part occurs for those that have researched and come up with solutions to such problems. That's all...

 

one time I tried to help a homie out with some plugins on his PC. oh god. a NIGHTMARE. now I know I'll NEVER switch.

Once you've exhausted all the avenues you can based on your reading here(there's tons), you can totally message him. I have in my noob days and he was super helpful.

 

Yeah, for years people have been whining, or rather, talking about the false positives that are well known and presented/mentioned/and acknowledged by those releasing the software you have been desiring.

None of that is new.

You can trust R2R or not. You can spend time judging different teams scenes etc, and figure out the wheat from the chafe and get a better idea of what is questionable or not.... but being online with this, and certainly while working with it.... you are riding commando out there without protection.

@saccamano is right. Not only, as I said, and he said, does every noob with their first patch get concerned about AV alerts and whatnot etc as it goes, which is fair, but things have to be learned, and people should take a little time to, and not having your working system kissing the internet is ~"the way"~.

That is if you want a working, consistent, protected, and secure system, as its how it's done, and there really aren't a whole lot of if's ands or buts about it. Sure, people get lucky for long stretches.... but not the way I would like to live.

And sure, you can get cute, and of course we all use firewalls and little snitch and Lulu and host block and VPNs etc etc... and you can do other things, but really.. nah.. problems are easier avoided if you make it real tough, or preferably, impossible for them to occur you know?

And I don't mean to go on a tangent, and I get you are just talking about AV's 'reporting' and whatnot.... but that's noise... and has to be reiterated all the time in threads.

And I get most people as hobbyists etc who tinker once in awhile don't want to have another system or even boot drive or can be bothered to turn off their wifi etc... but locking your doors is of paramount importance in a world that really is out to get you... (and that's not paranoia speaking, it's just good plain sense )

 

You were right. I got virus warnings while installing and Windows Firewall was a bit of a hassle.

 

One update on the latest releases: if the standalone works, but the VST doesnt, run the patcher again. if you use the aax, you may need to runit a third time Thats what I am reading elsewhere.

Thats as bad as Sex Panthers 60% of the time, it works every time. :D

 

What abaout a library setup? Do i install the library like a normal setup?
