Matt, during the testing I ran three totally different puters with BB2014, and did indeed notice that RealTracks generation times "seemed" to be a lot faster, especially when running the older XP machine, but the same was noticeable when using the newer Win7 and Win8 machines. I did comment on that somewhere during our testing, but was careful to use that word, "seemed" because I didn't want to sit there with a stopwatch or anything, besides not having established a baseline first with 2013.

I'm fairly certain at this point that PG did indeed work some sort of programming magic that does indeed make for a more streamlined RealTracks/RealDrums loading time situation, though I also noticed that on the newer and faster machines, the delta time is indeed a bit less noticeable than on the older one.

On top of that, Matt is using the Audiophile version, which stores and uses the files in the .wav format instead of the compressed .wma format.

WAV file raw RealTracks do indeed load into BB faster to begin with, because the computer does not have to go through conversion from compressed format to wav audio format before the program is ready to play the assembled files. (Which is one of the things that users of the Standard non-Audiphile versions can indeed do to get faster loading RealTracks if they have an older machine that loads slow but they also have the drive space available to convert .wma RealTracks files to .wav using the RealTracks Control Panel. Note that this will not yield the full Audio Spectrum of the Audiophile version, since the information is not available from the compressed .wma files to begin with, but it will indeed make for faster loading RealInstruments.)
