Hello everyone, I have the following problem:

i bought the komplete 14 ultimate during black friday and basically it works without any problems. BUT!!! if i use komplete kontrol or kontakt 7 in my beats then it happens that the mpc software crashes when i want to bounce my beats as a audio file or stems. has anyone here had the same experience or knows a solution for my problem?

THANK YOU!

My setup:
MacOS Sonoma 14.3, 14" MacBook Pro, M1Max, 64GB RAM, 8TB SSD.
MPC SOFTWARE - v2.13
KOMPLETE KONTROL - v3.1.1
KONTAKT 7 - v7.8.0

Komplete 14 as well, Kontakt 7 but on Win11 and Kontakt is beyond finicky.
It's not will it crash it's when will it crash.
Just felt it was because it's VST 3 I have to do things to use it but it has become more of a headache than it's worth.
It like to also kick my audio interface out and that's on 5 different interfaces.

I have pretty much come to the conclusion I won't be going any further with Komplete and have been using it since Komplete 4. :smh:
Powered by Kontakt has a whole new meaning for me.

thanks for your answer. yes, it's sad to hear that you have problems too, the question now is where exactly the problem is and whether it's NI or AKAI that casuses this issues. in logic, for example, i have no problems with my NI plugins.

Prior to 7 Kontakt had been very stable on various setups even when I use my Macbook.
However now Kontakt is the only NI product that causes me issues and if you search the NET you will find Kontakt 7 crashing is a pretty big issue right now.
Sadly enough it's Apple and Windows and with multiple environments; Studio One, Ableton etc., not sure what happened to cause this.

Just glad my Komplete upgrades are always cheap so I don't mind giving up on it even though I'll miss some Kontakt libraries but I have already started finding replacements for them.
