Do I have to enable disk streaming somewhere?

Post by artificial » Sat Aug 13, 2011 6:02 pm

Hello everybody!

I'm new to this forum and really want to congratulation you on the awesome piece of software, Linuxsampler is really amazing!

Unfortunately, I got a problem:

I try to open some *.sfz files in Linuxsampler (it is a really big sample library - 3-4 gb or something, divided into 8 seperate *.sfz files...). Do I have to enable disc-streaming somewhere or should it automatically stream from disc? Because in FL Studio 10.0.5 and Ableton Live 7.0.18, the RAM usage increases significantly with every loaded sfz file ... it loads 6 sfz-files without problems but then I get an error message that i can't load the two remaining sfz files and maxes out my memory (which is 3GB)... when I press a key on my keyboard then I get some really awful noise. Is there a way to fix it?

My pc's specs are:

HP DV5 Laptop
Win7 32-bit
3GB RAM

Thank you in advance! :)

cheers,
artificial

Hi,
You don't need to enable disk streaming.
I can see two possible reasons for your problem.
The first one is recently introduced increased memory usage of the sfz engine, which will be fixed at some later point. So, you can try with an older version of LS, for example this one.
The other one is if you have a lot of offset and end opcodes, because currently LS treat same sample with one of these opcodes as different sample and precache it again. This also will be optimized at some later point.
