Thanks Alex! Just subscribed to your channel! Loving the content. Can you do a tutorial on articulations in Fl studio? I would like know how you deal with switching articulations.
Wow :) Thank you Alex, I always had to export my stems to clear the RAM for next tracks, this is a life saver :) Keep up the great work, your channel is full of great tips :)
Mozes da mi pomognes? Video sam u jednom od klipova da Alex u pattern-u ima grupe ( A, B, C, D..), na mestu gde pise Grupa A, tu mu je aktiviran sampler( Kontakt ) a ispod su instrumenti koji su aktivirani u toj grupi (A). On je prakticno napravio pattern tako da mu ide grupa A na pocetku tipa, i onda ispod toga idu instrumenti iz te grupe, pa onda B grupa, takodje instrumenti iz te grupe itd... Izgleda mi kao da ima ukljucenih 5 kontakta a aktivirano 30+ instrumenata.
Another tip is to store your Kontakt Librairies on a SSD and use the DFD option on Kontakt to stream the samples a little more from the disk and less from the RAM. You can save up a lot of RAM with that technique. I don't recommend doing this on a HDD cause usually, streaming from the disk is slower than RAM and you don't wanna spend an hour loading a patch, lol. Or you can be like Dirk Ehlert and get 64Gb of RAM! :D Anyway, nice work, Alex.
Thank you man, this is a game changer for me. Kontakt used to be my nemesis, always creeping around the corner just waiting to crash ableton, straight killing my vibe. Not no more.
Nic Allen for real!? I have a laptop, not sure if I can change ram to go up. Im broke from getting so many instruments for kontakt. I just try to go into one of them taking whole entire night and tried to disabled all instruments.... It worked and load so quickly now. 😂 But that would mean I have to keep disable before quitting and make sure I dont turn on too many of them.
@@tuck295q you can upgrade ram on a laptop pretty easy. The process of replacing/adding a stick is not difficult whatsoever. Just find a stick thats the same frequency and slap it in there. You can get em cheap off ebay. But try razer cortex, it frees up ram and disables unnecessary processes. It frees up to 1.2 gbs of ram when i use it
Two questions, just so I make sure I understood everything well. Firstly, if whenever I open a particular project I'm working and there are too many samples that I should I purge, should I purge the samples every time I open the project? And secondly, should I purge samples both before I've composed anything - with the kontakt and the instruments opened in it - and after I've made a composition?

hey thanks:) where can I find the other video you talked about about the kontakt template where you have lot´s of instruments loaded and can use them? :)
It was just a few hours ago i was looking for a solution on ram when it comes to big arrangements (im doing music for a commercial and my 14gbs of ram are not quit enough). So.... you saved me from hours of searching for a solution.
when i play some multi samples (samples at the same time same midi channel) with metropolis ark 1. one of the sample sound stop at the middle of the midi note. 100 % disk (red) at that time. how to fix that
do i need to play the melody first and the do the update purge? how do you do it in order? or can i when i open the kontakt library purge all it and then start to play?
Can someone answer this question for me. I should probably experiment more but so you know how towards the end when he has like 10-15 instruments loaded in one instance of Kontakt, if you want certain instruments with different volumes, would you just use a mod wheel or just lower the fader on the actual instrument itself or something like that? Basically when I do it with multiple instruments in one instance and change the volume of a track, they all change together
I did the purging and yes, the ram amount in the kontakt instances went to 0, but still, Logic itself kept on using the same amount of ram in memory. This can be seen in the activity monitor (Mac OS). Even after having restarted Logic and all the Kontakt instances are showing 0 mb ram used, according to the activity monitor, Logic is still using that same amount of ram.
im using this library ark 1 but for some of instruments in this library i cant change velocity can you please let me know how did you fixed this problem ?
What about converting complete patterns to wave samples and use them on ur playlist? Just i have very little amount of ram ( 1 gb sbt ) =( Atm i use EDISON, but some times when i make new samples they get some white noise, maybe u know some better ways to make samples?
thanks alex:)I was recording, my yamaha fell down and broke during..is there any way to record midi using computer keyboard on kontakt and fls 12? early thanks.
Do you think it's harder or easier on your computer to have multiple instruments loaded into one instance of Kontakt like you have in this video? Or easier on your computer to have multiple instances of Kontakt for each articulation?
Hey Man! thank you for those great tutorials about score making. I have a little problem about the kontakt library THE GIANT. When i am trying to increase the Space amount (the large reverb thing) its sounding so weird. Some of my friend saying its my CPU processing problem. But i have a 8 core processor and its better for music making.. Any possible solution from you brother ? thanks
Mr. Samir if you mean you get some pops and crackles, I have the same issue with that library sometimes. Not what's the cause, but it's usually gone when you tweak the dry / wet / distance parameters
I really appreciated this tutorial. Our use reaper, and every time I open the project it takes forever to load. I will absolutely give this a try. Thank you for all your hard work.
YEAH but did you see fl studio RAM option ? .85 GB and 30 MB ... fl studio ram remain 10565..... this is the problem with fl studio so you can't set a large template.. i think fl studio is a RAM eater DAW... but i still use Fl Studio. there's only one option to get rid of that is close your fl and open again .... .. anyway thanks for this tutorial .... pls provide us a free orchestral template ... becoz yours templates are nicely organised .....thanks ... sorry for my bad english
That remained around 10k of RAM because the project had lots of other stuff loaded into it. :D By the way, there's ways to save RAM in FL too. Try the smart disable function in the settings.
how much ram do you have alex? I also want to ask that I am using cinematic strings,cinebrass,action strikes ane many more heavy libraries... sometimes my fl studio goes into underrun and produces the crackling sounds and renders the the track very badly.... when I hear the rendered track it chops the sounds which are legatto... why this is happening? is it due to my 8gb ram?? or should I expand more ram???
+Cem Gelgun sorry i dont know how.I want to use 1 instance of Kontakt, load multiple instruments then assign them to different midi channels so i can play parts separate in 1 pattern in the piano roll if possible.the only way i know is using midi out but i'd have to load a bunch.I have a midi keyboard but dont know how to change it's midi channel in FL
Hi, i don't get this sentence "so i can play parts separate in 1 pattern in the piano roll if possible". Are you trying to play multiple instruments at the same time, assigned in different parts (octaves) of the piano roll? If i'm right, i don't know if it's possible. Anyway, normally, when you load multiple instruments in kontakt, each instruments are automatically assigned on a different midi channel (as A(1), A(2) etc...) Then you go to the edit window of your DAW (FL) and assign as inputs the following channels. It will be Input -> Kontakt channel 1, then for the next track Input -> Kontakt channel 2 etc... Hope I was able to help you.
+Cem Gelgun "play multiple instruments at the same time, assigned in different parts (octaves) of the piano roll" yes thats what i was trying to do i finally figured it out, thank you
