  • Actual hard disk requirements for libraries

    Hello,

    I'm trying to calculate how much space I'll need to store various DVD libraries, and I'm a little confused by the different numbers listed. For example, the System Requirements for the Woodwinds Bundle says 122.0 GB is needed, but the sum of the three individual libraries is 59.0 + 63.0 + 29.0 = 151 GB, and according to the "Due to an innovative optimization process..." blurb, the total is 42 + 45 + 21 = 108 GB. There seems to be a similar discrepancy for the other libraries and bundles as well.

    Which of these numbers is most reliable?

    Best regards,

    Brian


  • You want to change your title. You're asking about Hard Drive space requirements...not memory. 

    I don't have the woodwinds to answer no much room is needed. I'm sure tech support could answer...but, if you're going to use VIPro2, with it's time stretched articulations, you need to add a big chunk to store the stretches. My chamber and solo strings that took like 80gb are now taking 102, and I can assure you I've not yet opened all the new stretch matrices. 124gb is the total the website claims for the two--so they may have updated them to include the preset stretch data of vipro2. 


  •  I've just checked my actual hard drive space and this is what it says:-

    Woodwinds I -  41.6 GB

    Woodwinds II - 44.9 GB

    Special Woodwinds - 20.6 GB

    So I make that 107.1 GB actual space needed to store the files on.

    So this looks like the 108 GB figure to be the correct one.


  • Thank you both for the replies. That's really helpful. I hadn't even considered the need for space to store time-stretched samples.

    Best,
