I think this is not a problem of VE Pro but of the VST3 architecture. Maybe someone can confirm (or explain) this behavior?
- I start "Vienna Ensemble Pro Server (64-bit)" and create an instance with 20 instruments (about 10 GB RAM)
- I open a blank project in Cubase 5.1.
- In the VST-Rack I insert "Vienna Ensemble Pro" (VST3) and connect to the server instance.
- When I save this project in Cubase it takes about 45 seconds (!).
- But when I disconnect the "Vienna Ensemble Pro"-VSTi from the server instance saving only takes about 1 second.
My VEPro Server preferences (Connection settings) :
- Midi ports: 8 (per instance)
- Audio ports: 64 (per instance)
If this is normal behavior are there any hints to reduce saving-time?
Best regards,
Peter
