I was curious as it says it's free to Play 5 users. Kind of a redundant infinite loop? <edit> Oh I must've misread it.

So if I open a project where I used v4, it'll automatically replace it with v5, meaning that both versions use the same CLSID?

You must have used a stopwatch. It's not what I would call faster. Only way to do that is if libraries are on a SSD. Where is the SSL?

No...I can just tell as libraries that used to take awhile load faster...IMO... For the SSL go to the Mixer view and press the FX button on the mixer channel you want to apply it to....

Not necessarily. It depends a great deal on how one uses them. Mine are on 7200RPM disks and stream just fine. But, I do render the parts before I get to the mix stage. On really complex projects, if I start to run into problems, I will render parts as I complete them and then add additional parts on top. SSD's are on the wish list, but I'm not ready to buy just yet. Regards, Dan

Regards,
Dan It's not so much the rendering as much as it is the load times. When something is loaded, it's loading into your RAM which is why it's good to have a lot of it for these larger libraries. The problem is if you're loading large patches, it's going to take a long time. Great example: while I have Hollywood on SSD, I have EW Pianos on HDD. Pianos still takes at least a minute to load up a single patch. That makes loading a song, changing pianos or patches a huge pain in the butt. Gonna wait for November sales and pick up some more SSDs. I've got x3 500GB SSDs in the machine already. >_>

I agree, load times are long. I generally open a project and do other things on another computer until it has finished loading, since I'm generally not in a hurry, it is tolerable. Waiting for Black Friday deals on 2TB SSDs here as well.  Regards, Dan
