    Do you mean the standalone-version? If you start it with administrator-rights you must set the process-priority to normal in the task-manager. Or wait some days till the update is released, this issue is also fixed.

    Bye,

    so far, so bad

    So far In my Win2k machine I am unable to use in standalone. The program freezes my complete system until the machine finally reboots itself, unless I have already gotten annoyed & hit the reset button. Also in Cubase VST/32 5.1, as a plug in I get these weird CPU spikes that either crash the song or cause horrible outbursts from my monitors. My computer is very powerful (P4 2.0 Gig, 512Megs PC800 Ram), but this happens even if this is the only plugin with only one audio track in the song. So for now, I can't use this thing at all. Hopefully the update takes care of these problems.

    i've had a similar problem from day one but on mac. as soon as i start up the stand alone demo, i freezes my computer. needless to say i don't start it up a whole lot. i imagine the update will take care of that. i don't really want to by the product if the demo doesn't work.

    So Far, Some Good... but Most Bad

    Good to hear I'm not alone in this thing!

    See my post re: "NI SD with SONAR as DXi"...

    For the record, when I called NI Support, they were quite helpful about getting Spektral to run as a stand-alone. Here's what you do:

    1)Open Spektral, but DON"T TOUCH ANYTHING!
    2)ALT TAB back to Desktop. Open Task Manager
    3)Select "Applications"
    4)In Task Manager, Right Click on Spektral, select "go to process"
    5)In Processes, locate Spektral
    6)Right-click, and "Set Priority" to "Normal"
    7)Return to Spektral, and click on anything that doesn't hammer the CPU... the idea is to ensure that Spektral is the Active window.
    8)Close Spektral GRACEFULLY.
    9) Optional: Reboot. NI says you don't need to, but there's an 11th Commandment somewhere that Bill wrote, that says "thou shalt"... so save yourself the frustration!

    At that point, Spektral SHOULD work fine as a stand-alone. It does for me (W2KP SP2), and Big Kudos to Native Instruments for talking me through it.

    Now, about that DX/DXi thang... that's a whole different story. Before slamming anyone, though, I'd like to give NI a chance (in all fairness to them) to respond to my post.

    How about it? Where's the DXi?
