dcsTools Audio Importer running "slow' is a broad statement, but basically means you feel like the software is not responding quickly enough in performing some tasks. Here are some typical examples, reasons and possible solutions:
•File import and conversions take a long time. Possible reasons are that you are converting a large file, you are reading or writing files from a network drive and have either a low-speed connection (10mbs) or high LAN traffic, or you are running an older PC lacking in CPU speed or RAM memory. In addition, dcsTools Audio Importer converts files at a lower-than-normal system priority.
•Starting a conversion takes a long time. This typically occurs if dcsTools Audio Importer cannot gain access to a newly-arriving source file. Until the file is completely available and can be locked, conversion will not occur. If you are copying a file to a source folder from another location, it may take some time for the file copy process to complete and dcsTools Audio Importer is waiting until the file can be processed.
•Converting a particular file takes a long time. The cause could be that the file is a very large file or that dcsTools Audio Importer is already busy processing source files that arrived earlier.
