Performance & CPU Usage

- Streaming: Best used with sufficient RAM and SSD for fast loading; Kontakt’s instrument-level RAM saving (purge/unload) helps manage memory.
- Optimization tips: Use purging, limit round-robin depth, freeze tracks/print rendered stems for complex arrangements.
- Bedroom producers on a laptop with 8GB of RAM
- Acoustic jazz or folk composers (look at CinePerc or True Strike instead)
