Hi,

I just bought the strings library and think it's awesome but i'm not on the best Macbook pro and I'm getting lot of dropouts. I'm trying to figure out what I need to change

Cubase 11 @ 256 buffer setting

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)

2.5 GHz Intel Core i7

16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

External 2T SSD drive on USB3!!

I don't know if this library uses Kontakt's Direct From Disk Feature, if it does would changing the drive to Thunderbolt SSD help?

Thanks:)

    AFAIK the Library can't decide if or if not using DDS. This is set in Kontakt.

    Dropouts might be introduced by too low buffer size, too low Ram or too slow CPU.
