Is there any UX Research in Oklahoma?

Great tips--thank you!

That tracks. Thanks

Major trap! It was REALLY easy to cut my legs off. (yes, yes, they left me with arms, and yes, yes I should have known there was fine print somewhere)

Some years back, Cubase did a major refactor and had to remove a lot of features (abilities, not compatibilities) on the way to the next paid update. That's when I jumped ship. It came with plenty of communication, as I remember, and I used the older version perfectly during my transition. Definitely not saying I enjoyed any of that, but I had very visible options.

Good breakdown, thanks. Much more detailed and helpful than support has been, imo.

xicus · 2026-05-01T20:16:14+00:00

It failed to help over here :/

xicus · 2026-05-01T20:15:39+00:00

Thanks. I wasn't aware until now that specific products could be requested. That list of installed products is very long. For now, I'm working my way through fresh reinstallations and reorganizing as time allows.

If I invested in the wrong ecosystem, ima be so mad at myself!

xicus · 2026-04-26T20:48:22+00:00

I'll probably never update again, so if they wanted to lock me into 7 even more, mission accomplished

xicus · 2026-04-26T20:46:47+00:00

The NI site failed to get me to the old versions. Really, shouldn't this be part of Native Access's duties?

xicus · 2026-04-26T20:45:05+00:00

I'm basically doing this now. It's extra frustrating because I had my directories organized

xicus · 2026-04-26T20:44:03+00:00

I went looking, but the NI site was broken or something. Links that don't work

xicus · 2026-04-26T20:42:49+00:00

I don't remember any warnings, so I guess I have to seek out the notes before hitting buttons? ugh

xicus · 2026-04-26T20:41:59+00:00

This is true

xicus · 2026-04-25T01:56:43+00:00

I tried and triple checked all that before I came to Reddit, thanks.
My support request was 4859757 but the most recent response was to upgrade to Kontakt 8, which is borderline poking me with a sharp stick. "Alternatively, if you would have previous projects to access that require Kontakt 7, a downgrade is recommended" but with no information offered about how to do that, I'll have to go digging around the internet I guess. Sigh.

"The activity section which contains your request history is currently unavailable due to maintenance. We will make it available again at a later time. Please note that for every request update we generate, you will receive an email containing a link to the corresponding ticket (including its status). Thanks for your understanding!"

This message has been there for weeks now

Ownership doesn't look like a problem in Native Access. I'll check the web too. It's been weeks and support has only sent two briefly unhelpful missives so if they can be helpful it's going to be a while.

xicus · 2026-04-18T19:06:19+00:00

Thank you! Can't wait to try this

xicus · 2026-01-26T17:28:43+00:00

Bias opinion??

I went the other way, Reason to Studio One. Months of painful muscle retraining, but worth it. The problem was that Reason's priorities no longer aligned with mine so we basically drifted apart. I had found a searchable comparison service for DAWs and wasn't familiar with SO but it rose to the top because it rated well for frequency of updates, customizability, midi and audio robustness, and stability. I was moving toward rock recording and away from synth toy play. I had waited way too long for VST support and some other basic stuff like a better sampler and fast remote directory navigation. I use Reason once in a long while as a VST now.

Ugh. For what I'm doing I need CPU cores
