How much memory are these projects using?
DG-
oh yeah ... 20 - 25% of what?
keep in mind there is a certain *spreading* of used memory depending on the situation you're in .... watch your activity monitor which app is using how much memory (and which kind of memory)
VI/VE works up to say 3.2 GB (physical) memory used, but you might run into a situation where memory fragmentation results in problems loading huge arrangements ... it often depends what you have done before and how clean unloaded stuff leaves your memory.

hi christian
sorry i meant 25% in the system performance window. after looking at the activity monitor whilst the project was runnning it seems its using:
logic: 600MB Real memory and 1.73 GB Virtual memory
VSL: 300MB Real memory and 1.22 GB Virtual memory
Im running about 16 instances - I would have thought with that it would be fine to run this with 10 GB RAM and 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad Cores??? Should I be able to run this? Admittedly I havent been too eager with reading the manual... :)
Thanks

VSL in virtual memory? might be a misinterpretation ... preloading samples in virtual memory does not work by design ... on the other hand 300 MB is more or less nothing (especially on a 10 GB machine) ... so maybe there is something else in the game preventing arrangements to load in certain situations

yes and no ... ;-) by definition of apple (see their knowledgebase) virtual memory is all memory assigned - i.e. physical memory + memory in pagefile
in the screenshot belw (i made with 10.4.something) you can see a difference between real and virtual memory of about 15 - 20% which might be related to some stuff which indeed can be paged out ... or it is just by design .... the important number is the real memory

Hi
Unfortunately Im still having the same problem. Im using the optimise function and have bounced down some tracks to save opening another instance of VSL. I tried to open a project file last night and left it over night to see if it would open - it didnt. I really think the project file should open even if I am using a little too much memory...and as I said I have 10GB Ram and 2 x quad cores.
Really desperately in need of help...
Thanks

i'm having the same problem... i can only open my project about half the time and only if I open another one first and even then it takes about 5-10 minutes or more. i have 16 instances of VSL running in this project ... this same thing happened with another project containing VSL instances and nothing else ... it's like the VSL stuff just never loads....i even reinstalled VLS SE onto another drive thinking it was my drive... help! here's my set up: Intel Mac 2*2.8 Quad-Core running OS X 10.5.4 w 10GB RAM Logic 8.2

Touch wood I am no longer having this problem. However there wasn't a particular thing that I did to solve it. It was just a process of uninstalling and reinstalling and trying simple things like changing usb ports - unfortunately I cannot remember the exact point at which the problem stopped. My advice to you is to contact support - they were very helpful and wil help you work though all the different potential causes.
It's interesting that this problem keeps occuring though and is obvioulsy something that VSL need to sort out.
Good luck and post back how you get on...
Cheers
