    Wooops, 2 more came up, so I might as well post them now:

    4. Have there been any reports of problems running VI ad GS3 together on the same PC?

    5. I've noticed some posts regarding Altiverb (XP) and VI not working well together. Is this a general problem, or rather a specific user/system situation?

    Thanks again ain advance!

    I haven't been able to run both GS3 and VI together successfully, although this may actually be a GVA problem. What I do is load all the VI into Chainer, which seems to have no problem with GS3.

    Sorry I dont know anything about Altiverb (just waiting for MIR)
    but relating to your Question VI-GS3,
    I havent tried it, because it is unreasonable since on one hand GS3 are not so handy for VSL in rewiremode, wich would presumably necessary, since VI needs a VST-host and VI's make by far a better Use of the available RAM. So if you would like to run GS3 to, perhaps it'll be better on a seperate machine.

    Thanks DG. But what's a GVA problem?

    Thanks Steffen. To be honest, GS3 runs fine in rewire with nuendo over here. And I will still need to run it for my other libraries, self-made patches and the horizon series.
    The main problem I have with GS3 is that I can't load all the VSL-sounds needed for a score at once, especially when using performance instruments.

    Thanks DG. But what's a GVA problem?
    GVA is Gigastudio VST Adapter from FX-Max. It enables GS to be used as a VST in the same way as any other VST sampler. I can't use GS3 and VI without getting crackles, but as soon as I load VI into Chainer the problems go away.

    Hey, I didn't know this existed, interesting! Especially since Tascam's GVI is not out yet. does it work well together with the performance tool as well?

    I tried it once for SX3 on my sequencer-PC but couldn't realy route the Performancetool for the rewired GS3, so I kept this GS3 for other (non-Perf-Tool-Libraries).
    But I think it will be still utopic to run all the SC on one machine, not to mention further GS3 Patches.
    The performancepresets still do need lots of RAM at least until you finished their track and run the RAM-reduction.
    So to work with several slave-PC's is still the most realistic approach to get the widest possibility to adjust the different tracks. I myself do think about adding more Slaves, to let the VI's run on other slaves than the GS3's, which may substitute, with the ProEdition and Horizon-Samples.
    This makes sense especially if you want to make use of the biggest presets. If you try to do an String quartett for instance, all VI-Solo-Patches are on the same machine. but even with 3 GB-RAM you cant work with all L2 Presets of the four Instruments at once because they need more RAM (Vl: 1 GB, Vla: 0,8 GB, Vc: 1 Gb) than you can get so whatever you can "outsource" on another Slave makes Life easier.
    Of course it is possible to make with one Machine a String Quartett, but that means more or less that only one of the tracks can work with a bigger Presets, the other must be reduced for that Moment. If you work on full orchestra Scores, things are getting obviuosly not easier, so the more RAM you can get for each VI, the more flexible you can make use the presets.
