Hello, I'm finally at a point where I can spend the time to update my Logic orchestral template. I haven't done this since late Logic 9 and I want to tweak a new one for Logic X taking advantage of the new "Comfortable Multiport Template". My current template uses the old expanded Multiport Environment and was built in Logic 9 following the Tobias Escher template philosophy. Logic X has worked pretty well opening this old template and using it, but from what I'm reading, I can make a lot of improvements using the new templates, building from scratch in Logic X.
My sig below shows my rig right now. I have a master Mac Pro with 3 slaves: Another Mac Pro and two PC's. I'll soon be adding another two PC's, for a total of 5 slaves.
So far, from reading and looking at the templates, it sounds like now I should just have one VEP 5 instance per computer/slave and load those single instances up with everything I need. Right now, for instance, on the PC housing the Hollywood Strings library, I have one VEP 5 instance per section (Vlns I, Vlns II, Violas, Celli, Basses and a "Full Strings" instance for a total of six instances). But now, for a new template is my assumption correct?: Use one VEP 5 instance per computer? And use the MERGE function to combine my current multiple VEP 5 instances.
So I'll be using the new 6x16 template, using one stream per computer. Good?
Let me know if I'm on the right track. The rest seems very straightforward. The new templates look amazingly clean and well organized. Thanks for all the work that went into these!
