Hi Community,

Is the 8DIO bundle, which was recently advertised on the Native Instruments site, provided by NI regarding system requirements or should I contact 8DIO?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards

    System requirements should be near the same - but if you are wondering about NI specifically - what is the concern?

    @Vocalpoint Thanks for answering!

    I noticed that the 8DIO bundles purchased from NI take a really long time to load in order to hear all the required instruments created in the project. I have an i5 processor with 16GB.

    Load time is heavily influenced by storage, CPU horsepower, the OS and the machine it is running on

    If you are using a consumer grade laptop with a consumer grade (slower) laptop drive running a non-optimized version of Win 11 (for example) with just 16 GB of RAM - it won't be fast no matter what you do.

    Need some more system specs to see where you are actually at.

    Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400 @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
    Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable)

    System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor, Windows 11

    Do you think this information is enough?


    Thanks!

    Can you quantify "a really long time"?

    Thanks @PK The DJ

    For example: Project loads in Cubase Pro 14.
    When playing the project, the 8DIOs don't start immediately. I click on play and it starts to stutter (playback). Then I have to play from the beginning again so that the instruments can be loaded and played individually.
