How To Decrease Sample Loading Times
Posted: Fri Mar 08, 2013 12:43 pm
I have been steadily beefing up my PC builds to optimize how Haup. runs and loads. I have it pretty well dialed-in, but there is one question: where is the typical bottleneck for loading samples when I'm ready to play?
I'm chiefly interested in loading the very largest organs routinely (like the Sonus Paradisi Rotterdam organ). Is it the bus rate for loading the RAM or the data leaving the hard drive (or both) that should be eyed carefully as a bottleneck source. I can go make and have a coffee break whilst this thing pokes into readiness! I don't want to consider the S.S. HD's yet.
PC specs:
Win 7 64
Intel DQ77MK mobo
32G dual-channel DDR3 1600 RAM
Intel SRCSAS144E SATA/SAS PCI-E RAID Controller w/512M memory
Seagate ST3300656SS 15K rpm HD
ASUS Xonar Phoebus sound card (a must for the 24-bit folks)
Nitrous injectors?
For those considering the Rotterdam samples, ya need a mainframe computer (64G+ RAM) to load the whole thing!
32G just makes it run.
Thanks folks.
