What can I do to optimize Soundplant performance in order to squeeze out the absolute fastest possible sound triggering?
–A decent, recent computer should have no problem triggering sounds instantaneously, but here are some things to keep in mind to facilitate the lowest possible sound triggering latency by reducing as much non-essential overhead as possible, especially helpful for slower computers and/or for those who want the best performance for the most demanding applications such as millisecond-accurate drum pad use or sfx foleying: make sure all samples are set to ‘play from RAM’; run Soundplant in ‘simple’ view mode and do not manually resize the Soundplant window to a custom size; on Windows, set your power saving settings to “high performance” under Control Panel->Power; use 44.1 kHz samples; save pitch and volume adjustments directly to your sound files with an editor instead of relying on Soundplant’s non-destructive settings; keep ‘low power mode’ off; keep ‘show key config after key hit’ off; keep ‘background key detection’ off; set ‘mp3 handling’ to ‘decompress on loading’ for fastest mp3
