Ram:
I would recommend 1.5 Gig.
Gigastudio 2.5 can allocate 1 Gig Ram.
0.5 Gig should be enough for the OS and other appications.
An issue where CM could give more competent advises, because it depends also on the OS and the setup of the engine.
Rite of Spring:
Again the Ram limitation is more the problem than the available midtracks.
You can go very far with 64 miditracks especially using multi articulation instruments on one miditrack.
If I had to mock up these piece (maybe I'll do it sometime - it's one of my favourites), I would work like this:
First I would start programming with the basic sets, and if it is possible loading the most important perf-legati.
In a first work flow I would not focus on 100% realism of the sound, I would focus on tempo and balance of the instruments. Simply doing the conductors job.
After that bouncing the whole track an beginning fine tuning instrument after instrument. Here I would have enough Ram power to go to the limits.
Finishing one instrument, bouncing it, and than the next.
How far would depend, how much time fo I have to do this, or how perfect I want the mockup. For not so extensive or shorter pieces, you can of course finalize more instruments at the same time. But Rite of Spring is different.
You are right, that some stuff would be missing. If everything is here, why we should continue our project.
Many gaps will be filled with the Pro Edition. Most of the missing instruments: Piccolo, alt flute, english horn, bass trumpet and so on.
Also sordino strings of course.
Sordino brass, stopped horns, maybe woodwinds ensembles will be covered in the Symphonic Cube.
The primary focus on our first production line (First Edition, Pro Edition, Symphonic Cube I) was to enable mockups for the classical literature of the 19th and early 20th century.
Rite of Spring is a big challenge, and I have an eye on it, that it will be possible to realise this piece at the end of this year.
I have a little dejavue now, it reminds of the first phase of this project more than 7 years ago, sitting in front of Strawinkys score and imaging what kind of library I have to produce, that enables me to mock up my personal version of this piece.
96 kHZ:
This sample rate will be reserved for the next generation of sample and scoring engines, where RAM limitation is an foreign word.
best wishes
