Perhaps Halion’s media manager should have some control over what gets loaded. I certainly do not go into a project needing 10s of 1000s of sounds loaded. I keep getting this feeling that I want a slim version of H5, but not in the way Sonic is. More of a lite version that only cares about the programs that I’m currently dealing with. Not the behemoth that carries the kitchen sink around everywhere.
I use Cubase 7.5 and Halion 5 extensively and never have an issue. HALion 5 is the ONLY vsti I use and it is pretty full of samples and programs, yet loading times are quite quick for me, so I am unsure what the issue is. My system is as in my sig, no slouch, but certainly not bleeding edge either.
I wish you the best of luck in getting it sorted and if I can help out, I certainly will try.
Having followed your kind instructions, are these settings then automatically SAVED ?? And do you only need to perform the action ONCE ??
I already had Artists C7.5.10 thanks.
In any case, Steinberg Support Request have instructed me to UNINSTALL my new purchases and to start over. And that if I am still experiencing issues they will help me. My Cubase has not been working properly for nearly 3 x weeks now !!
