This may be the dumbest question ever. Kontact may be the most ubiquitous sample engine and editor there is, but can it be used out of the box to actually record audio samples? Or do you have to record .wav in another environment and import into Kontact?

No you can't record into Kontakt.
Audacity works great though.

Point n'est besoin d'entreprendre pour espérer ni de persévérer pour réussir.

At this point, I think it's pointless to be asking questions like that.

It came up in a recent thread about Sonar needing a sampler.  I think that the best suggestion made for that purpose was to get Reason Essentials with the NN-XT sampler, and then re-wire it into Sonar.

Alternatively, you could use the free TX16Wx sampler http://www.tx16wx.com/ to live sample in Reaper, or any other DAW that lets you connect the audio input to a sampling instrument.

Best quote of the week.  All politicians please take note.

One person (reasonably) asks if Kontakt can sample, others say SONAR needs a sampler. Anybody else see the irony there?
