I ordered a copy of NI Kontakt 5 recently. In reading through the NI info, they say that to get the best performance out of Kontakt, the sample libraries should be loaded to a separate HD. Based on that, I went ahead an ordered a second 1TB 7200rpm Black WD drive.
My current BIAB / RB install is on my original 1TB 7200 drive. Would I see any performance improvements in BIAB / RB if I move my RT, RD and Styles to the new second drive?
Thanks Rharv, appreciate the help. Yes both with be internal drives. Can I just copy the RT and RD folders over from the original drive and then change the paths in BIAB and RB?
It would be best to keep those folders inside a BB folder though, or the app may complain, but it should just be a copy over. I created a BB folder and copied to there - E:\BB\Realdrums E:\BB\Realtracks
The only things in the BB folder are the RealDrums and Realtracks folders.
NOTE - if you change RB Prefs to point to the new location you should also point BB at the same location or RB will notice that RB and BB point to different locations and it will keep asking you if you want to make them match .. every time you open RB.

OK, good points. So, trying to understand the 2014 to 2015 migration process, would I: 1. first copy the RD and RT folders on the existing C drive from the 2014 install to a new BB folder on the new secondary drive 2. then run the 2015 install program to allow the update of the programs on the original C drive while pointing the RD and RT installs of 2015 to the new secondary drive 3. Update the 2015 programs to point to the RD and RT folders on the new secondary drive. 4. Load the Kontakt program on the C drive but installs its libraries on the new secondary
After moving the RT and RD files, try pointing the existing BB program at those files before installing the update. Then you can know if the 2015 update broke it (if it doesn't work later) and BB\RB should retain those settings for you.

Something that used to take 45 seconds to load now takes 20 seconds to load and we want it done in 10 seconds.... I can't blame you.... I want it done in 3 seconds.
You would likely see the best increase in performance by bumping up the computer specs..... faster processor kind of an improvement. But looking at what you have, you're running a nice rig now....
Coming from my old core 2 laptop to my Quad i5 custom build made a huge difference in how quickly BB/RB loads it's real tracks and regenerates the songs as well as loading the big synths like Kontakt.
Yeah....I like keeping the library files on a different hard drive as well. If for no other reason than to keep the C drive from getting overly full.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
Right Guitarhacker, not only for performance reasons but when you consider RT's at 66GB, RD's at 46GB and then add in Kontakt 5 samples of another 65Gb's...that a lot of GB's on my primary drive.
Guess I could've gone to a larger primary but somewhere along the way I heard that 1Tb was the largest single platter drive....anything larger was 2 or more platters. Something about single platter drives being more responsive or perhaps more stable...forgot which....maybe neither...can find almost anything on the internet these days.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
