EWQLSO Direct to RAM

One area which has been difficult with the new Symphonic Orchestra PLAY engine has been with disk streaming. I’ve seen disk I/O getting easily smashed when this plugin is filled. One thing that helps I found out was that you can in fact completely load all the samples into RAM if you so choose. I couldn’t find anything on the forums so I wrote to Sounds Online directly and received this response from them:

“

Select the instrument you'd like to load into RAM from the instrument list in the top right of the player mode.

Now go to the Main Menu > Current Instrument > [uncheck] Stream from Disc. You can also bump up your engine level
from 3-5 since you have more than 4 gigs of RAM.”

Its a very interesting situation as in the past the problem has always been that the CPU’s weren’t fast enough. With the latest generation of CPU’s it seems like everything has changed and I/O is now becoming the new issue.
