[Hydrogen-devel] speed up song loading

[Thijs v. s. <thi...@gm...>]

Hi all !

Any idea if it is possible to speed up the song loading in H2 ?

I currently have a set of 10 elektro songs and ideally i would like be able
to start the next song immediately after the previous one ends.
When we play a regular 'pop' set it doesnt matter that much, but with
dance/elektro there are typically no gaps (or very short ones) between
songs. The gaps kida kill it.

I have not yet looked at the samples i have in my songs and i know that
reducing the number of samples (and/or reducing sample length) will make a
difference, but i was wondering what other factors could help speed up song
loading.

I'm also concidering storing my samples in a ramdisk, but i doubt if that
will make huge difference since i already have them stord on ssd.

Any ideas ?

Grtz
