From the system requirements on the EZD Web page: 18 GB free disk space (plus 18 GB for download). macOS 10.13 or higher, Intel or Apple silicon processor, 4 GB RAM (8 GB RAM or more recommended).

I don’t think you can download only some it.

Thanks! On paper it should be enough, but I was wondering if someone running EZDrummer 3 on similar computer specs, particularly with 8GB RAM, finds that it runs without hiccups mostly.

I get a tiny bit of latency on my 8 GB Windows laptop. A friend has said that his macbook gives none of the latency Windows gives.

In general, you shouldn’t have any issues running EZ Drummer on your 8GB laptop. It is a great low footprint instrument. I was running it on an old 8GB 2012 MacBook Pro without any real performance issues. Latency issues may depend on the audio interface you are using with it. If you are using something like a VOLT and plugging in, however, you can take advantage of near zero latency when recording your ideas.

Your only real limitation is memory. However, if you stick to using low footprint kits you should be OK.
