![]() It looks like the CPU is the weakest link in the chain, and faster read/write speed via M.2 doesn't help. It has something to do with the way Spectrasonics has implemented streaming, I understand. ![]() I understand that you can avoid glitching by turning off streaming - at the cost of increased load times, and you'll need to max out your RAM. But that's where the M.2 would come to the rescue, I'd imagine. I'm curious to know the exact model of the CPUs - both on your laptop and the desktop. Well, as I mentioned elsewhere, my 2017 iMac is up to the task of rendering with The Hammersmith Pro from orange Tree Samples, and I have been busily replacing all of my Pianoteq (even the much-improved v6) and Galaxy (usually Vintage D) Steinway tracks with this incredible library. My 2010 MacPro (which died a few months back) couldn't handle it, so it was hard for me to judge at the time, and I almost regretted buying it, but not now! #Pianoteq 6 vs. This piano has the most articulateness and the best pedal handling of any Steinway library currently on the market - with the caveat that I do not own the one from Garritan. It is a bit brighter than the Galaxy Vintage D, but that's in the nature of the piano itself as it is a newer Steinway than the 1920 model that Galaxy chose. ![]() You can easily make it darker no problem. The interface is magnificent, and it explains quite clearly what you are really getting with the default settings and why they were chosen as the default. I have experimented a lot, but prefer MOST of the defaults, with the exception of going for 25% addition to the stereo spread as I prefer a more intimate "closer to the piano" sound when doing jazz combo work. The miking choices and techniques are the best of any piano library I have from any vendor. Ravenscroft 275 is my next-most-used piano now, as it is sort of in between a Steinway and Fazioli sound.
