    Ok professor.
    The bandwidth is obviously a factor.
    However , that is not the issue here.
    The same bandwidth in question performed perfectly before the update.

    Ive been working with digital audio since the mid 90’s when we need scsi drives terminated and 100 mb drives were a luxury. I know a bad design when I run into it.  My external Tb3 drives are more than fast enough.
    As far as my post sounding like I know everything , sorry if I came off as arrogant. I do know quite a bit about digital audio production. I’m sorry if I’m working at a higher level than most users. This is not a hobby for me.
    I love SD3 , it is one of the finest pieces of software I’ve ever used.  I wish you would slow down and think about the realities of this issue. I know when I say “bug” it’s hyperbole , that’s on purpose.
    The main issue I have with your response is that you are trying to diminish the importance of an issue that has presented itself. The 3 people I work with closely who use SD3, on 3 different rigs, all agree that the splash screen sucks.
    You need to trust this is not coming form a place of lazy annoyance.
    This is coming from a place of advanced professional audio production knowledge and experience.

    Trying to argue with Bear-Faced Cow based on logic is a losing proposition. He’s been like that for decades and on other forums. He never admits he’s wrong or that there might be another piece of the puzzle to look at. He refuses to see that a system that worked perfectly before is having an issue with the last update. Near as I can figure out Toontrack did not change the specs for the program as regards operating system or hardware.

    That’s about the silliest thing you’ve ever said and I’ve caught you in many of them over the years! Man that gave me a good laugh!

    You’re also proving just as you did then that when you don’t have a point, resort to a little trolling tactics.

    I already told you, my system specs, perhaps with the exception of the addition of two 2TB SSD drives, haven’t changed and the logo is only 3 secs on my unit.

    Now why didn’t you mention the external TB3 drives? Much of this could have been avoided if you were a little more forthcoming with that kind of information. All you did was run on about your Mac Studio and left out the important parts.

    How many? What kind of drive(s) (NVMe, SATA – it matters)? How are they divided?

    Let’s stick to the objective aspects of the logo. Subjective aspects are not that relevant in this case.

    Jord, you are confusing two different people with your replies.
    I did that as well.
    we can just stop this nonsense.
    we all know what we are doing and can troubleshoot the issues.
    I would like to ask you to not minimize the issues were are having by declaring its somehow our lack of computer/configuration skills that are the problem. It’s clearly not that.

    You have NEVER posted your whole system specs here in this thread.

    Anyway – bye Felicia!

    I’m focussing on a single conversation and ignoring the irrelevant responses. Otherwise, my laundry don’t get done and my house doesn’t get clean, which means less guitar time and you will know it in my responses!!

    I’ve been doing this a lot longer than you (late 70’s predating digital audio – only slightly longer than I have been developing software, but less than playing guitar) and have had the opportunity to learn from some of the best teachers in the world. Almost all of their advice is timeless and still holds true today. And the fact that I am achieving faster appearances of the logo on a slower system than you is more a testament to their teaching than anything else. If you want to bury your head in the sand and believe that bandwidth is not an issue, that is your choice. Just remember that I am not experiencing your issue for a reason and not some random make-up of hardware.

    You threw SCSI in the ring. Do you know why SCSI drives were the more optimal choice than SATA? It’s a bloody shame SCSI controllers were so damn expensive. But there was a reason.

    The choice is yours: you can answer my question about your drives or play the ostrich. Either way, I’m going to go put on my guitar and fire up my Vader’s Helmet while I am waiting for some QA results on one of my deliverables.

    Finally fixed. The release notes say that this issue has been fixed for Steinberg DAW software. I have read that one person had this issue on Cubase 9.5. I myself tested on Cubase 11 and 12 and both had the issue. The only conclusion I am left with. Is that those on here that said there was no problem on Cubase. Are actually lying or to stupid to see the problem. The bazaar instance of when I was accused of Anti-Semitism only makes it worse. Drumjack52 is full of nonsense and obviously trying to be an expert and look good. I would take what he says with a pinch of salt. The logo is another issue. I hate it but if Toontrack think it is good then good luck. Toontrack are not listening to their customers and think they know better. That is the road Avid have gone down and are now starting to suffer. They are now giving it away with Carbon.

    Pro tools software was historically given away with hardware. Not sure what you mean.
    its still the pro choice. By far.

    Pro Tools is a good product. The problem is their new subscription policy. They have now started to reintroduce perpetual licenses. It is good but is not that good at that cost. A lot of Pro Tools users are biting the bullet and changing to other DAW software. I am but just one. If they lose their user base, which they are, it will impact them in the future.

    Yes the subscriptions really suck, but at a certain level that won’t matter.
    It will take about 10 years to have the work force talent to work in other software.
    I don’t want to get into the DAW wars debate, but ,really, it’s used in about 90% of the professional studios.
    They are pricing it so big studios will still pay whatever, but it’s the up and coming engineers that will dictate what is needed. Its a bummer on many levels.

    I am certainly not lying or stupid. On my pc the splash screen on Cubase 11 on win 11 is on for second at most and nothing else. Nothing stuck and sd3 loads as quick as it did before. I am not seeing the problems you are having. I accept you are having problems as I said before without calling you a lier or stupid.Quit attacking people and you may get better responses. Not once have I got personal in this and only report what I see.

    I’ll leave you to carry on ranting. I’ll have no more to do with this.

    SD3 with older sdx,s plus Rooms of Hansa and Death & Darkness. Cubase and wavelab current versions. Roland TD50x using all trigger inputs for triggering SD3 only. Windows 11 computer. Various keyboards and outboard gear as well as VST instruments. Acoustic drums: Yamaha 9000 natural wood and Pearl masters. Various snare drums. RME BabyFace Pro FS and Adam A7X monitors

    It seems its faster for some and slower for others.
    maybe it’s the amount of kits you have.
    i have tons of expansions. Both ezx and sdx.
    my computer and drive are as fast as possible.

    I have almost every SDX and an ever growing library of EZX’s

    It’s not the speed of your computer and drives.

    The old car analogy is dead in computer science. The faster a computer is the better it is. There are no speed limits in computing. Other than, can we still fit an electron down that very thin connection. This is why analogies are dangerous. We try to apply them from old science. The top of the range I9 desktop PC kills everything in its path. That is proven science. “2+2=4”.  The level of bass on a song is subjective and open to debate. The speed of a computer is a very accurate mathematical measure. So what is your point! Not more nonsense please!

    Perhaps stop thinking about the speed of the car and focus on the size and the speed limit of the highway. That is what audio production is all about.
