PLEASE NOTE: We strongly recommend the use of a Solid State Drives (SSD) or PCIe-based flash storage for sample streaming in general to obtain the best performance and fastest load times; and in particular with the “Powerful System” folders in ProDrummer where we are providing you with a 16 channel mixer, each with a rack of effects, for total control. The additional features of the Powerful System instruments can put a strain on less capable computers. If you try running an instrument from the Powerful Systems folder and you encounter problems with playback in real time, or the instruments take longer to load than you want to wait, then consider using the Normal or Lite versions.
