How can i make electric storm gitar load faster?

Jan Rune

When trying to load this, its take to much time.. 10 minutes.

I use a hardisk drive for this plug in…. with usb 3,0

Is this inside a DAW or when using the Kontakt as standalone ? if inside a DAW then also test using standalone Kontakt app.

Also what is your Kontakt version ? Session Guitarist – Electric Storm is for use with Free Kontakt 8.1.0 and higher.

Also what is your exact computer and OS specifications , does your computer meet minimum specifications ? What is CPU model ? , RAM amount ? , GPU version ? OS version ?

How Can I Optimize the Performance of Kontakt?

USB performance may depend on a number of factors , but with respect to hard drives then if you want to use them for e.g. loading Kontakt libraries from then you need to use at least SSD drives. Mechanical drives are simply too slow especially with respect to seek times. And with respect to SSD drives then while the interface type used between external storage and computer could be a bottleneck in itself then also general SSD drive performance plus interface type means a lot including that e.g. NVME attached SSD storage generally are a lot faster than SATA attached SSD storage.

I have been there myself , for a very long time then my fastest drive for sounds were an internal WD Caviar Black mechanical drive. but even fast mechanical drives takes a long time loading sounds compared to fast SSD and especially compared to fast internal NVME attached SSD. But as you know then none of this comes free and needed investments also depends on what one is having already. Of course even a fast SATA attached SSD is fast compare to a mechanical drive but considering that NVME attached SSD is maybe up to ten times faster than SATA attached SSD then that makes one question how good an investment that SATA attached storage is for anything else than general storage.
