SDX vs EZX Sample Loading Times

[SteadyEddie]

Hi, I am noticing that the loading times for Superior 3 and NY Avatar samples are much faster than Nashville and POP EZX samples. EZX libraries are much smaller but take much longer to load. Is there anything I can do to improve the loading times.

Another related question. For Cubase users, is there any type of indicator to let you know when all the samples are loaded without having to open up the VST Instrument to see?

 

Thanks,
Mike

This might seem obvious, but are all your libraries on the same drive?

Nashville is one of the oldest EZXs. It was originally shipped with individual soundfiles and these take a lot of time to load. Since EZdrummer 1.4 was released, EZXs carry only a few ‘bunch-files’ of sounds and loading is much faster. It may be that you have the old slower version installed from DVDs. If so, uninstall it and download it with the ProductManager instead.

Only users of EZdrummer 1.3 and earlier need to stay on the slow version.

Another thing…I recently moved all my samples to an SSD drive.

DRASTIC difference
