Installing Native Instruments Reaktor 5 for quick and easy without any problems or any compatibility issues at all. Since I have installed the software on my machine I haven't had any problems running it and it has always run smoothly for me. The interface of Native Instruments Reaktor 5 is easy to follow for the most part, but if you don't have any experience with software of this type, it may take a little while to understand what everything does. This is powerful software and has a ton of uses and applications. I don't have a manual for this software, but would recommend trying to find one if you don't have any experience with any versions of Reaktor.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I am currently running Native Instruments Reaktor 5 on a Mac Book Pro that has a 2.2 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM. With this configuration I haven't had any trouble running this software in any capacity that I have tried to use it in. It always runs smoothly and without issues. It won't take up too much CPU power unless you are really running a lot of things at once. Overall, Native Instruments Reaktor 5 runs stably with my configuration.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using Native Instruments Reaktor 5 for about four years and have found it to be a great piece of synthesis software. It is great for making your own sounds from scratch that you can then play with a MIDI keyboard or use for whatever else you'd like to. I haven't used any other software like this, as I never had any reason to because Reaktor 5 fills all my needs when it comes to synthesis software. It is a pretty reasonable price, and you know you are getting a good piece of software because it is made by Native Instruments. Overall, highly recommended for those looking for synthesis software.
