Help request for setting up gigging usage

edited December 2017 in General Questions
Hello,

I have recently purchased the whole brass package. I have downloaded it onto my main computer, a laptop macbook pro.



I do not want to bring this laptop to my gigs as it is my main computer.



I have an old macbook pro or I could purchase a tablet. I have never owned a tablet so I do not know if they can log onto the internet to download the sample modeling programs, but it is my understanding that it can. I am considering this as my first choice option because my old macbook pro is OLD and bigger than a tablet. On the other hand, free is free.



So I have some questions.



Is it possible to keep the Kontakt 5 with the modeling sounds on my home laptop but copy it on a flashdrive (or another method that I am unaware of) and place it on the tablet or my old laptop?



Or, when I receive my CD backups, can I plug a USB CD player into my old laptop or tablet and download Kontakt 5 from the internet and the Native Access installer?



Or can I still use the email I received when I first bought the sample modeling to place it on a second computer?



Thanks and apologies in advance for my computer illiteracy.

Michael Rubin

    I use a lot Kontakt based instruments that do the licensing via Native Instrument's toolset. All of them seem to allow for being installed on up to two Computers, which I did. In fact I did not yet try that for the single Sample Modeling library ("Trumpet"), that I own.



    For Live Gig Playing, I use an embedded headless (i.e. no Computer keyboard, mouse or monitor attached for Gig usage) PC with Windows 7. Same is built in a trunk and does not feature a display that might break, nor any moving parts that could be damaged (SSD, no fan).



    I found that this offers a much better price/performance than an Apple product.



    I use a rather complex setup with two master keyboards and a TEC breath controller, based on Reaper as a VST host. For a Reaper based Wind controller setup, Kobi might want to comment.
