Well I don't know what the problem is, all I do know is that the ssd drive won't send the right samples to the program's play engine. It's really strange because I used that same ssd to play samples with an older version of the same program, and that worked fine.... Doesn't matter, the C: is working fantastic with the 8 gigs of memory. the program loads up the sound samples into your memory which makes it possible to play the samples quickly. The more memory you have, the more samples can be stored, so the 8 gigs of memory is a real blessing with this program. The SSD would have been nice, but I'm finding out the C:drive with the 8 gigs of memory is also very effective.
