Like I said earlier on in the thread, its only when I do the initial loading of the kits that it takes a long time to load?
For example, if I load up the amber default kit from scratch, it’ll take an age, then if I change to another kit, lets say the silver dry kit, that too will take an age to load. But lets say that I want to go back and load the amber ambient kit (after the silver ambient dry kit has finished loading), it’ll take a couple of seconds to load?
Kind of annoying really because my iMac is pretty much brand new and super fast.
Yeh its kind of strange? I’ll give you an example of what the issue is…..
When I log on to my PC and boot up SD3 then select Legacy of Rock Amber default kit it takes an age to load. Then if I select another kit for example Sparkle Ambient kit, that too will take an age to load. But, if I go back and re – load the Amber default kit, it takes literally a couple of seconds?
Don’t quite understand what is going on?
Will try and take a look at the SSD speeds in the meantime.
I have just been playing around with my Protools/ SD3 as the forums out there seem to be saying to open the instrument view and select SD3 ensuring it is assigned to a midi channel. This does turn the greyed out midi to blue and does allow normal usage. However, as I have stated, when I saved and closed the session down and re-opened I was back to the greyed out midi and had to go through and re-set to get playback to work.
I have just tried something out of desperation which seems to have worked (for me at the on the last few tries!).
I opened the session in question, in the instrument view, set SD311 to midi channel 1, created a new MIDI track (not stereo instrument track), which automatically showed “All” as the input and SD312 as the output,(which was automatically routed to midi channel 2) then I dragged the clips from the stereo instrument track to the midi track and hit playback which played the groove I had selected from SD3 perfectly. I then re-dragged the clips back to the stereo instrument track and hit playback again, same result, played the groove back perfectly.
Now check this out!!!??? I then deleted the midi track I had created, saved and closed the session, re-opened it and “lo & behold” the midi in the stereo instrument track was no longer greyed out and played back perfectly.
I have absolutely no idea how this seems to have resolved my problem, but it has, and I just thought I’d share it to hopefully help anyone else who has the same issue.
