Julian, you can make use of RAM Optimize to stay on the MIDI level, when your RAM reaches the limits. We would like to see the perfect orchestration computer that never runs out of RAM ourselves...
I canĀ“t wait to have the final figures for MAC as well, I just really want to make sure that everything is doublechecked, so that you know what it really looks like....
Thanks for your input, everybody!
Best wishes, Paul
Hi Paul,
The inportant number for me is instances of VI - how many will I be able to run. RAM or CPU is actually less of an issue as with freezing or RAM optomization there are ways round this. Where only 24 VI instances would be a problem would be in only having 24 arrange tracks available for Logic automation - only having the equivalent of 24 staves in a score - what happens when you have inserted the 24th
VI and you still need 2 or 3 extra instruments. With the current VSL library this is not an issue - freeze a track or two and insert more EXS 24's but if you reach the instances limit with VI there is nowhere else to go particularly as VI's won't run as a node.
I admit it's early days and we must give you guys time to do your tests and perhaps optomize the software but one question I would like to ask is what is the maximum number of VI's that can be inserted on a top flight PC with very low instrument content (i.e. each VI only has a minimal instrument/sample load)
thanks
Julian
