You should always make sure that the drive or partition on which the BFD audio<br />
data resides is defragmented. As long as you defragment the drive before installing<br />
the plugin, you should be okay. Also, on Windows platforms, make sure that<br />
the drive is running in DMA mode (check your primary and secondary hard disk<br />
controller settings in Control Panel/Device Manager). Also, try looking at the various<br />
cache and buffer settings in the Options panel.<br />
You can try the following workarounds to get around hard disk subsystem bottlenecks:<br />
Install BFD on a separate drive to the operating system and any audio tracks you<br />
may be using. If this is impractical, try using a dedicated partition.<br />
Use an external firewire or USB 2.0 drive. This is especially useful for laptop/<br />
notebook users, as the internal hard drives on these types of machines are<br />
usually very slow compared to their desktop equivalents (4200 rpm versus 7200<br />
rpm). An external drive should be capable enough to deliver the required amount<br />
of data in time. To give you an idea of the transfer rate required, a particularly<br />
heavy scenario when using BFD would need around 15 MB/sec. This means that<br />
a firewire or USB 2.0 drive which typically delivers 30 MB/sec would be perfectly<br />
adequate.<br />
• Triggering of grooves isn’t working as expected.<br />
Check the settings in Play Options panel and see that the latch mode and sync<br />
modes are what you need to trigger the grooves how you would like. Refer to the<br />
Play Options reference section to find out more about the different triggering and<br />
sync options available. Please also make sure that the Respond to Groove Notes<br />
option is enabled in the Play Options panel.<br />
