  • VEP5 - hosting PLAY / Hollywood strings

    Hi all,

    I was wondering if someone can clear something up for me - or let me know if I am just being stooooooopid..

    I have a 12 core MAc Pro master machine running Logic and a 8 core mac pro as a slave  (all upto date software across both computers).

    I use the slave computer for Hollywood Strings (amongst other things) hosted in VEP5 as part of my template....  HW Strings instance is always the same and never needs to change...   

    Now everytime I switch to the next projects in Logic, HW Strings insists of loading up the entire PLAY  template again some 41000 samples! - even though there is no different data in the instance of Play...

    FYI - I have preserve instance enabled and I have the incoming project data behaviour preference set to 'ASK'.  but still it continues to load the same data in again..without asking anything....! ( I have also tried it on DIscard but still nothing - it continues to reload everything again)  

    So the question is...... is this correct ... that each time I switch between logic projects I have to wait for 5 mins for the PLAY template to 'reload' or is there a way round it / or is something not right / or am I doing something wrong...?

    Thanks in advance for your time on what is probably an obvious answerable question - !!

    Cheers Paul


  • Save your projects decoupled.


  • perfect - jeezuz - so simple!!  OK so just another quick one then - say I saved project 1 'decoupled' - I then went to project 2 and loaded it up, and realised that there was additional plugin data on the slave - if I have my 'incoming data prefs' set to ask - I can just click the flashing yellow arrow and it will load the new data?

    Thanks again Asher... really appreciated... Paul 


  • Sorry, that I do not know as my VE Pro templates are so big that never happens to me :)
