Hi fellow composers ,
seeking advice how to tackle a strange performance problem on my Windows 10/11 workstations that run VEP 7 servers.
When I try to use Spitfire ARO player inside my project instances, UI performance slowly but steadily decreases up to a point where even simple tasks take ages to complete, if they complete at all.
This is without being even connected to the servers or any noticeable RAM or CPU overload.
The libraries are served internally via a 4TB SATA SSD.
I can flawlessly instantiate loads of OT Sine or Kontakt instances. But as soon as the ARO player enters the mix, things slowly but surely go south.
This behaviour is identical in two PCs I was able to test this with. all running latest version of software and OS.
Strangely, when I load the same VEP project instance on my MacBook M1 MAX, everything works as expected. The players load quickly and everything just works.
Is this a known behaviour/limitation on Windows? has anybody else faced this?
My test project loads the full set of ARO percussion instruments. so we are talking about quite a few player instances in the instance. On Windows I can load all of High Percussion, and almost all the Metals. then things start degrading. On the MacBook no issue whatsoever.
FYI, I also tried to open a ticket via the AI bot but never got the ticket creation confirmation for it.
