Actually, we're trying to nail down people on what they're seeing. So far

there are many more vague posts online that actual calls in on the

complementary one-on-one support that comes with each purchase.


(The advantage of having specific issues in the one-on-one queue is that we

can track issues and log config/content details... beats having the same

few people posting to many threads.)


When people post "i'm crashing" they often mention "large audio" too, but

there's not much detail. You definitely *do* need more memory, processor

power and time when working with large audio assets, but without knowing

how folks do on the one-or-all-sounds test, it's hard for others online to

pinpoint that as the sole cause.
