Howdy Clyde,

Re. Ambience setting to "no" - that was my mistake. I should have said "none", as you did. I've had some other little boys to join mine last night and today for a sleepover, and probably "no" was stuck in my head ;)

I also just checked my versions, and my Kontakt version is the newest one (1.1.8.003), and my Studio is also (2.0). I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not, but I don't think it would.

One other thought occurs to me as well. I know that for my sound card, I have "Environment effects" that I can use. I don't generally have these turned on, because I've noticed that some of these effects can have an adverse affect on how some of my audio devices playback. If you have such settings on your soundcard (mine is an SB Audigy 2), you may want to set it to "no effects" and see if that clears up the problem you're hearing.

ttfn,
Sherry
