Like Tony said, I have so many already that I don't have time to use. But because I own Komplete 9 (with Kontakt 5) I qualify for the upgrades.
For $49.50 I could upgrade to Kontakt 6. And for $99 I could upgrade to Komplete 12 (standard edition) in order to get Kontakt 6. There are also several libraries and synths in Komplete 12 that I do not have (nor need) but would like added to my collection.
So, here are some questions in case anyone can offer any insights.
I heard there were lots of problems with Kontakt 6 back when it was first release...have those been resolved mostly?
One thing I have always hated about Kontakt 5 is the small window you have to work inside. Have they increased the window in 6? Also, will I lose any of my current libraries that are working perfectly under Kontakt 5?
Finally, can I run Kontakt 6 alongside Kontakt 5?
Good luck and I hope this helps
Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.

I guess I must pull the trigger and get Komplete 12! I compared what I would get to what I have in my Komplete 9 and it looks like quite a lot of new toys for only $99!

I’ve thought hard and long about it a decided to go with Strummed Acoustic 2 I hope one day I use it but I did not buy it lightly.. The other day I watched this video https://youtu.be/pBOpxuBz2sE and of the various ways it was done in my opinion the Realstyle (BIAB) method was by far and away the best. But that is my opinion. I purchased Strummed Acoustic 2 mainly because of what I heard done to something I did once by DCCuny whom I respect and he turned a track on its head in 5 minutes (David is of the many truly great guys on these forums who offers fantastic advice and encouragement to others.) Now, how am I going to use it in earnest! (but a least I got it).. I once had a sister in law that opened up a cupboard of unused material and told me how much she saved. If I’m honest I feel a bit like this. Oh by the way I play guitar and have done for years. I have a few good guitars and good mics but find I can rarely record just right. I have a very old Tele which sounds and plays fine. I have a Maton CW80 (also about 50 years old) which most of you folk don’t know but our Aussie compatriot Tommy Emmanuel would understand the qualities of Maton. I also have a semi acoustic Rickenbecker 12 string I’ve not used for years. But I still prefer samples done right. Tony

Tony, Really enjoyed this video since it is exactly my experience with this plug. It also was a pleasant surprise to hear Una Corda which I thought sounded really sweet.

Seriously, who spends this kind of money on music software - other than a pro studio?
And these prices are half the normal price?
Those are the full prices. The Komplete bundles are not on sale unless you are upgrading. Also to answer your question many people shell out that kind of money for these because they are one of the best around.

Answer, Very rich hobbyist  Unfortunately I am not one of them  We all have our personal budgets and priorities but as hobbies go stuff like this is pretty cheap. How about joining golf clubs? Or jet skiing, or even snow skiing? RC airplanes? So many hobbies and activities that cost tens of thousands just to get started. Bob

We all have our personal budgets and priorities Well, my new (used, but new to me) travel trailer is definitely pulling me away from music on the weekends, but as with music, it is so good for the soul.

You can always use a lap top to record and take it with you. I would love to hop in an RV and travel while producing music. Maybe someday.
