I'm doing a bit of tidying up and totting up library sizes as I'm considering upgrading to Komplete 11 Ultimate.
One thing that's puzzling me is that the NI website says the size of the Kontakt 5 library is 43GB.
Looking at Native Access it says that the size of the library is 23 GB. I've looked on the disk and it's showing as 23 GB also.
But I also have the old libraries and I see K4 is 43 GB.
So -
1. In K5 where is the other 20GB is it now shown under seperate libraries?
2. Is there any point in keeping old Kontakt Factory libraries?

NCW Compression
In 2011, Native Instruments introduced the “NCW” compression format. NCW files are losslessly compressed from WAV or AIFF files, saving up to 50% memory both on your hard drive and in active memory when the samples are loaded
An idiot on Set Theory:
"In some cases there is an object called red that contains everything that is red. In much the same way a pot is a plate."

A lot of it is redundant. NA informed me I need 100GB free space or it won't download K5, KFL. Beyond my pay grade as they say as to why that is.
If you have Kontakt 4 KFL for instance, the point of it all is going to be very specific I suppose. I'm not really aware of specific changes anymore. And that could take some time to fully verify but if you have both, you can probably delete quite a lot of one or the other. I would check to see exactly what will be lost deleting all of K4 KFL to simply get 20 GB back. I don't think you'd lose very much if at all.
I don't really need most of it at this time, YMMV.
