Plug-ins, MacBook and Mbox2PRO

[Hemluth]

Hi

I'm using ProTools with an Mbox 2 PRO and a MacBook2.16GHz C2D 2GBRam.

I am thinking about buying a couple of instrument plugs;
Native Instruments Akoustik Pianos
Eastwest Synphonic Orchestra Gold
Eastwest Symphonic Choirs

Does anyone know any reasons why these should not work? I already know i need to buy Kontakt in order to use the Eastwest plugs. Is there anything else that I don't know?

Thanks

Some people have had issues with Kontakt but I'm not one of them. I think it's more on the Windows side but I'm not 100% sure. I have used Akoustik Piano a lot on my MacBook.

The issie with the Eastwest stuff and Intel-Macs is suppossed to be that they come with a slim playback engine called "Kompakt", that doesn't work on an Intel-Mac. being a Mac user you would have to buy a full version of Kontakt, others don't.

I assume Akoustic Piano is really supposed to work then. Thanks
