I bought a new mac mini I-7 quad to run my orchestral samples which includes the dimension strings and brass and MIRx (which all sound incredible by the way). I have 16GB of ram and the samples are split between 2 500GB SSD drives. I was told that this should handle my VSL library and allow me to run everything simultaneously however I am getting clipping and it appears I'm overloading my CPU. I've been adjusting the settings (preload size is set at 1536, I upped the voices to the max) and nothing seems to be helping. Not sure if it's just a case of the mac mini not being able to handle the load or my ignorance on settings adjustments.
I was looking at picking up up Vienna Suite but if I can't run what I've got and need to get yet another slave computer then I'm looking at additional software purchases just to try to maintain what I have. Any ideas?
