Disk Overloads in Kontakt; SSD only at 35%
I'm running a project right now, where I have around 7-8 instances of Kontakt, and I'm getting disk overloads.
Now, I got disk-overloads starting from blank slate as well, playing only one instrument. Notes would cut off and not sustain (same issue now with multiple Kontakts), and I had to open the VST editor and play notes a few times to resolve it. Now, it's not being resolved.
The Disk indicator in Kontakt flashes red at both 0% and at 100%, yet Windows and Ableton reports 35%.
Also, instruments are extremely slow to load, and sometimes make Ableton go unresponsive, causing me to force close.
Could really use some advice.
Best,
Chris

Hello,
there is a preload buffer setting, with an SSD you can try to lower the buffer size step by step - maybe till 8kB if i remember correctly.

Also, make sure the drive is not set to upload/backup to 'onedrive' or stuff like that.

Thanks for the input. There's no backup going on to clouds or locally. I do backups every now and then; my plan is to backup to local backup storage every night, and from there onto the cloud, to avoid file and performance issues.

That's what I do :) Local portable drive; then I RAR and upload to cloud out of paranoia :)
