For anyone interested, this is what I got from fxpansion support. Will be trying these.
Choking kit pieces (cymbals are always the first because they are the longest!) is almost always a symptom of disk streaming problems. Here are some BFD2 settings you can tweak to help: - in Engine Preferences, enable 16bit mode - increase your RAM Buffer size (this will use more RAM but put less strain on your hard drive) - increase the Stream Buffer size (again uses more RAM) If that doesn\'t help, ask yourself this: - is your BFD2 data on a fast dedicated drive? - if not, is it sharing a drive with other disk intensive data (like host audio data, or other streaming libraries that you use simultaneously with BFD2)? - is your drive sharing a firewire or USB bus with your soundcard? This can be a real killer. If you have a firewire soundcard, get a USB2 hard drive (or the other way around). - it\'s always worth moving the BFD2 audio data folder to another drive to test, even if it\'s the system drive. Just remember to update you Data Paths in Data Preferences when it\'s done. Let me know if that helps
