Hello Titi,

I have moved your topic to the Vienna Instruments Forum, hope you don´t mind.

I have just checked and you licensed the Full Library of Solo Strings and Chamber Strings for the Vienna Instruments. That should give you a good overview of the workflow [:)]

The basic rule is: The more computers (which means also more RAM), the more comfortable your work will be. This depends a lot on the expectations you have and also on the kind of music you write.

Please tell us more about your plans, I´m sure you´ll get some good advice from your colleagues on this forum as well [:)]

Best,

Paul

Thank you Paul for your quick and clear answer.

So I'm looking for someone who could give me more details for my system.

Let's resume :

I record with Cubase 4 and I use the Halion Symphonic Orchestra, chamber strings and solo strings of the VSL. I'll probebly complete with around half of the all VSL. That's all. And I will probably use hardware for the effects ( maybe Lexicon MPX 500 ).

I write music for orchestra, and I need the result to be as good as possible ( many articulations, many instruments at the same time ... ).
Do someone work like this or almost ?
Do I have to isolate cubase 4 on a computer ?
Do I have to put together by family the vst instruments ?
How do I have to connect the different computers ?

Thank you for your precious answers.

David.

On this forum, you will find users with one to 5, 6 computers.
If you load only what you need for each project, you don't need many computers
If you want to have all articulations always available, I think you will need about 4 slaves computers (for the symphonic cube).

You can't split the library as you want (for example, strings orchestra 1 & 2 must be on the same computer).

There are two main ways to connect the computers :

- Each slave with an audio interface.
- Or you can use FxTeleport. With this software you don't have to put a soundcard in the slaves computers. Audio data use the network to come back to the master computer.

Hello Stéphane,

Thank you for your answer.

That's funny. We don't leave so far from each other.
Can I give you my mail here and can you give me yours ?

David.

Hello Stéphane, hello Titi,

let me know if you need any additional infos: p.steinbauer@vsl.co.at.

Just for clarification: Of course you can spread Orchestral Strings I&II on 2 computers, that´s exactly the reason why we split them! Each collection can reside on 1 computer.

Best, Paul

Thank you again Paul.

David.

Hi,

I just realized that there is one drawback: If you split the Orchestral Strings I&II on 2 computers, you cannot use the big Orchestral Strings patches (double basses, cellos and violins spread across the keyboard) anymore - that´s what Stéphane may have meant.

Best,

Paul
