I would try "High" for Hard-disk recording and "Slow" for hard disk --
basically you want the biggest buffer size you can. You can see the effect of
the changes in the above settings in the RAM allocation box. 

CPU cycles can be conserved to some degree by picking 32-bit float mode in the
EXS24 prefs and, at the cost of some audio quality, choosing normal instead of
best mode. "Best" mode uses a higher quality interpolation algorithm and uses
more CPU.

Murray

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
