Re: Komplete 12 External Hard Drive

thanks for replies- I decided on a Samsung EVO 970. The question now- should I leave the OS on the original HDD and put Ableton and Komplete on the SSD?

Re: Komplete 12 External Hard Drive

I have 2 USB 3.0 ports- does this make a difference? If not , an internal drive seems to make more sense at this point

Komplete 12 External Hard Drive

Hello

I am running Live Suite 9 and have Komplete 9 . I am thinking about getting Komplete 12, which comes with an external hard drive for the sound libraries. Will this improve Live load times for projects with Komplete plugins?

Re: Exporting tracks from Live- Bass sounds much different!

Is there a difference between the software or speakers that you listen to the wav with? Like, are you using a media player or something? Are you listening on monitors? Other speakers? If you open the wav in Live with no fx, does it still not sound the same? I opened it in the Windows media Player, ...

Essential plugins for mixing

Currently have Live Suite 9 and Komplete 9, and I'm looking at Ozone 7 Advanced for mastering. I wanted to know is which of the Ableton/ NI plugins( and Ozone 7 for that matter) are of high enough quality, and which ones would you upgrade?
