Hi,
I´m considering buying a new Mac Pro 2,4 Quad (8-core) along with the Full Package Vienna Samples. If I fill it with RAM to maximum, possibly running the library from 2 SSD´s in RAID, will this be powerful enough without a slave computer?
I work in Sibelius 7 and Pro Tools 9 with VE Pro 5.
I´m considering Vienna Suite, is this software very demanding on CPU / RAM?
Thanks,
Henrik

This will depends on how many tracks you play and how complex are your tracks
will you use MIR ?

Hi Cyril,
as filmcomposer my tracks are in many cases full orchestra, but often around 24 stems. Fairly complex, meaning that I write very detailed in terms of articulation. Hence, each stem will change patch once or twice every bar on average.
Cheers,

Hi Cyril,
I have now been shopping!
Here's what I went for:
MacPro 8-core 2.4
2x 480 Gb 6g SSD in RAID 0(stripe)
120Gb 6g SSD System Disk
48 Gb RAM
Vsl Super Package Full
Regarding MIR: I will demo it and see if it runs well, I have an older MacPro dual core that I'll try on network.
I will get everything next week and will let you know how it plays!
Cheers from Oslo,
Henrik
Hello Henrik
Wow !
Did you visit a bank ? [;)]
You forgot to buy a SATA III 6Gb/s card to put your raid 0 of ssd
It is good that you got 48 GB on my configuration with 24 GB, I am a bit short of memory as after a while my swap file is 1.74 gb
Best
Cyril
It will depends of your card. I have the Rocketraid 640 so my ssd are ouside the Macpro tower. so I also need an external PSU for the SSD
