However, I'm slightly disappointed that the results weren't better using FX-Teleport. In theory every instance should have a limit of 2Gb, therefore one should be able to load in excess of 3Gb on a machine that has 4Gb RAM. Did you test for this, or were your tests limited to 2Gb machines?
DG, I will look into that, more to come....
Hi Paul, I didn't mean to hassle you, it's just that there are so many options, and in this period of calm before the storm I want to prepare as much as possible before D-Day (talk about mixed metaphors [8-)] ).
The other thing to be aware of is that Cubase SX3 (and Nuendo) are both Large Address Aware, so that with the 3gig switch (I think) one can access up to about 2.7Gb RAM. It would be interesting to see how the number of samples in this instance stacks up to the figures quoted for MAC. I think that this will eventually be helpful to users, as at the moment with no MAC figures about performance we don't really know. For example, number of instances might be more important than RAM use to some people; maximum number of samples might be of more interest to others. I think that the polyphony looks OK, but obviously it depends on how VI deals with multi-layer cross-faded instruments. The only time I get close in GS is when I have multiple keyboard instruments running, and there ain't non of them in VI [:D]
