Delivering a Lesson on Using Kontakt’s Guitar Instruments

Panic Index // FRUSTRATED
Technical Depth // WORKFLOW
RESOLVED
Target Environment
Pro Tools + NI Kontakt
Reported Symptom
“Client unable to operate Native Instruments' Mint guitar virtual instrument within Pro Tools.”

Hi Paul. I have been recommended Native Instrument’s Mint guitar software, but I can’t figure it out in Pro Tools. Can you help me please? PW

I connected remotely with PW to give a short lesson on how to use Mint in Pro Tools. This is how we spent our session:

  • Opening Kontakt as an instrument in Pro Tools
  • Navigating Kontakt to find the Mint instrument
  • Playing Mint as an instrument
  • Using the lower octaves of the keyboard to play patterns
  • Importing patterns as MIDI regions into Pro Tools
  • Changing the Root Key for guitar patterns to match the key of the song

PW and I then explored the other guitar instruments he had available in his Kontakt library and I showed him the differences between them.

Picked Acoustic, for example, did not have the Export Pattern as MIDI feature.

I made sure PW was comfortable with everything we had covered so far by watching him create a new demo project and build a short composition using the guitar software.

PW is a composer who uses Pro Tools and regularly books me for short remote support sessions to answer specific questions about music technology software.

If you have questions about any aspect of music technology and would like to book expert help please get in touch.

Paul reinstalled all my lost sample libraries, streamlined the storage on my computer so it works faster and fixed my corrupted disk. it took us a couple of sessions and he was friendly and patient throughout. He never made me feel stupid and never over-explained stuff I already knew - in fact he boosted my confidence. Would highly recommend. I've put him on speed dial!

Paul was brilliant, listened to the issues I had on Cubase and my home studio, worked methodically through potential problems and sorted everything. Amazing service, down to earth and explained everything so I could understand. I am a very happy song writer once again thanks to Paul! Will be using Paul again in the future and highly recommend. Thanks Paul.

Honestly, if you're in any way stuck in a creative block because of the gear you have, you've more questions than answers about what the best setup should be for your flow, or even if you have very nuanced problems in your DAW/with your gear, the service Paul provides is second to none. Besides being an extremely nice guy, he knows his stuff and takes the time to understand what you want to get out of each session and makes sure all is good to go! Can't recommend him enough!

Paul provided as stellar service, worth every penny. I came to him with a genuine issue that was affecting my Logic Pro 11 album project regarding drums and midi maps and he solved my problem most efficiently. He was patient, courteous, quick thinking and highly knowledgeable. I will certainly consider using the service again and thoroughly recommend Audio Support - Thank you Paul - you are a star :)

Working in Reaper. Super knowledgeable, friendly, speaks in easy to understand terms. Paul is helping us DAW newbies get in the game. Paul got my lost plugin files working again as well as showed me how to find missing wave files for projects that were loading incorrectly. Keep this man on speed dial.

Paul fixed in around half an hour some midi keyboard/controller problems I have been trying to solve but have had to live with for around two years! He is very knowledgeable and patient and the Any Desk link worked perfectly. I wish I had found his website sooner and wouldn't hesitate to call on his services again. Rick Grant
