Sorry for the repeat if this is what you answered, but I’m unclear on the answer, so forgive me….

Am I understanding you correctly that even if I switched to a SSD OR AN HDD hard drive instead of my current – 32 GB SANDISK ULTRA USB 3.0 thumb drive the songs won’t load any faster?

My drummer complains all of the time saying the wait between songs is ridiculous.
We play in MT mode, in a set-list, we have the songs set to stop after each song and wait for a footswitch press to start the next song.
It goes like this:
1. Prior song ends (We watch the time meter turn to zeros)
2. the screen flashes “PLEASE WAIT” for a second.
3. He presses the footswitch, we wait 5 or 6 seconds then our click/song starts.
So although it doesn’t sound like much, it is on a live stage….Will a SSD or HDD speed this part up over the thumb drive?
By the way we have 18.558 GB of free space on the thumb drive currently.
Thank you
Rusty
