    yes I do on my 12 core

    your post is a great waste of space. 14 lines in the signature, which is really someone bragging, and this empty post. To what extent do you run it? with what gigantic latency? 

    VSL is asking that each user puts it's configuration in the signature !!!

    The signature  is not taking disk space as there is a link to it in the message.

    My test done show you can run very heavy project using IAC, my test song is "form the new world of Anton Dvorak where tremolos are made with notes". This project play in 7.1 !

    Mir latency is set to 0 but Logic is set to 1024

    As an example of a system on the lower end of the spectrum, I'm using a 2.60 GHz Athlon processor with only 6 GB of RAM. I recently downloaded the MIR Pro demo and was suprised to find that it wasn't completely unusable on my system. While it wasn't of much use for real-time playing, I could load 25 or so icons (about 3 GB) of instruments into VE Pro and run a moderately busy piece of music through MIR (Mozartsaal stage) to produce a wav file from Sibelius. For real-time playback, it gets pretty laggy with just a couple of instruments.

    And why do you need to use 7.1,  what format does your music end up on ? 

    and by the way,  Tremolos don't need much processing,  they maybe fast,  but they are only the same two notes  so not much sample fetching there.  A better example to try would be something like Ruslan & Ludmilla overture, very fast runs with different notes.

    when you have all  the strings doing a tremolo plus all the orchestra is doing a tutti it is cpu killing

    For Ruslan & Ludmilla overture, send me the Logic or the midi file, I will try it

     You'll need to get the orchestra score and play it in, it's about 170 bpm and loads of semi-quaver runs, and the whole orchestra do this too. I have heard one recording done at 180bpm.   This will test any system.....

    Don't you have it ?

    You are a strange man, you are speaking of pieces that you have not even try on your system !

    is that this piece ?

     Yes, that is the piece. 

    How ever, it seems to be a 14 track midi file, this piece should be scored for:-

    Flutes x2, Oboe x2, Clarinet x2, Bassoon x2, Contra Bassoon x2, Horns x4, Trumpets x2, Alto Trombone, Tenor Trombone x3, Bass Trombone, Timpani, Violins I, Violins II, Viola, Cello, Contra.  (The Violins & Viola split 3 ways too).

    So you would need 33 tracks to perform this fully,  you cannot get this from a MIDI file -  That 14 track midifile is not going to prove much.

    Forgive my interjection here guys - since I am not a technical person - but the classical/early-romantic works that you are using to test your systems (with all their fast tempi and semi-quavers), perhaps are not the indicative ones for modern scoring requirements (except if you're of the Hans' School). Petrouchka or The Rite of Spring would be more akin to current symphonic heavyweights, I mean if you want to really know the limits of your systems. Just a thought...

    I dont mind to do a test, just provide me the  midi file !!

    I believe the MIDI file to The Rite of Spring is available in the DEMO zone, provided by Jay Bacal. I think getting some benchmarks from such a work would be worth it.

    Thanks guys. 

    It seems I downloaded MIR on my old computer but never tried it due lacking hardware. I hope VSL are willing to let me try it again (sending me a new trail activation code). Fingers crossed.
