Hi All,
I was hoping you all might share with me your computer specifications if you are running the following all on the same box scenerio:
1. VE PRO 5 using MIR PRO - all of your entire orchestra is using MIR PRO.
2. You are using Dimension strings and Dimension Brass as separate icons on the stage, not one single grouped VI. The rest of the winds etc. are from VSL also.
3. You are running your DAW and all plug-ins (i.e. Vienna Suite, SSL etc.) on the same box.
4. Layering other libraries like LASS on top of those above at times, also putting them on the MIR PRO Stage.
5. Windows 7 or 8 64-bit
I know it seems like a lot but I am hoping someone is accomplishing their entire DAW on one machine as I have always done for many years but have hit my limit and need to upgrade again to make room for Dimension Strings and Brass. I am hoping to keep a low latency setup going. Right now I am at 256 but I will have to start freezing tracks just to keep using this computer.
I can do all of that (minus 3rd-party-libraries and -players) on my custom-built i7-3930K from late 2012 (32 GB RAM @ 1600 MHz, 2 SSDs for samples, RME HDSP audio hardware; Windows 7-64, Nuendo 5.5.), but not with the latencies you're after. MIR Pro stereo setups with 130+ Icons on a stage are workable with 1024/1024 samples latency (system/MIR). I've used 5.0 surround setups with 50 and more Icons, too.
