    It crashes my pc when used as a VST plug in in Sibelius,

    It crashes my pc when used via Kontakt 3

    It crashes my pc when used as an RTAS in Pro tools 8

    It even crashes my pc when i try and use its record function in its stand alone mode!

    whats it incompatible with? Vista? Digidesign Mbox? Sibelius?

    When will it be compatible?

    Sound Software and Bugs

    I've been messing around with audio software for 15 years and one thing that I've found: the more complexities involved the more likely there are to be issues.:( , otherwise known as bugs:angry:

    Tech assistance folks always want a complete description of your setup. Do you have a really high speed processor -quad core maybe?
    My own assessment is that anything less than 2gb of fast memory is not enough. Go for 6 or 8 or even set up a server with 24 gb or 48 or 96 gb.
    Seriously.
    SATA hard drives are de rigueur, again perhaps the space is not important although I have found as a hard drive approaches %75 full it's time to make a lot more room-take it back down to 50%-means 500gb is probably the smallest size for a hard drive.
    Processor intensive jobs like running sampled sound software really requires the use of two drives, one for the software, one for the sounds.
    Make sure the processor on your computer is a high powered one-quad core was good on the PC, now Intel's i7 is the one to have. Reason? It accesses the memory banks about 7 times faster than the old style PC's. The i7 920 and a good mainboard with 6 gb of memory will run about $750.

    For running on your current system, always make sure the disks are defragmented, the registry should be squeaky clean and so on. Make sure there are no viruses or trojan horses, these can sap energy off the system.

    Only run one program at a time and shut down everything that starts automatically.
    On and on-TASCAM had a list of stuff that was recommended for running giga studio 3' I was not able to do it all but it seems like there are too many of what I call memory drains on the PC. Native Instrument stuff is usually pretty good about stretching memory, even the Giga sampler stuff that I've converted to Kontakt 3 seems to be less of a memory hog than Giga Sampler. I've not had a chance to compare the two on how the crossfades are handled in Kontakt 3 though.
