  • How many instances on a MacBook Pro?

    Hi,

    Can some folks tell me how many instances of Vienna Instruments they have been able to run smoothly on the newer MacBook Pro's in Logic Pro 9?  

    Can you also provide Ram amount, buffer setting and Processor Speed.  I have a MacBook Pro 2.66 with 4 gigs of ram with Snow Leopard installed and I could swear things are faster smoother but I have not written a large piece to max things out yet.

    Really curious how everyone is fairing with these mobile setups  or whether I need to spend for a tower as my projects become more dense?

    Thanks in advance!

    Dave


  • Things are faster and smoother on Snow Leopard.  I noticed a significant difference however I had to roll back to Leopard due to no audio driver for my interface.

    I have no idea what my max was but I know projects that taxed my machine and over loaded it were now running with well under 50% CPU.  Snow Leopard is defintely superior in that area.  Mated with Logic 9 made it even faster (I was on 8 for about 3 weeks prior).
