There's been a recent trend of zombie thread resurrection so I thought I'd add to the mayhem
Honestly, I was doing a Google search for "absynth disk access" when I came across this thread, and since I already had an account here and I know lots of you guys already use Native Instruments stuff, I thought I'd ask here. My question is not about Absynth 2 of course (its up to ver. 5 I believe), but what's to be expected from a decade-old thread?
Anyway, I've noticed a lot of the NI stuff, (Absynth being the latest culprit) seems to access the disk a lot, like it's constantly indexing things. It makes clicking on sounds somewhat pokey and not as instantaneous as I'd like. Am I doing something wrong? I know an SSD would be faster but all my synths and music stuff and the OS itself are using the better part of a 1TB drive (i.e. it would be big bucks in SSD-land!)
