  • VEPRO----One computer or two?

    Hi, Simple, yet not so. I'm trying to get my head round the most basic concept of all. Is the answer to this: "Either but really for 2". Patrick

  • Well, I'll take that as a " don't know". Someone must. Back to the videos and the manuals then.

  • Depending on your needs and your gears, it could be better to use it with 1 or 2+ computer. Both are good solution.

    There is so many possibilities (single instance/multiple instances, mixing in DAW with multi-outs/mixing in VEP with a single stereo out, one or two computers, whatever serves you well.) 

    Give some details about what you whant to achieve with what gears...


  • From my experience, the most efficient setup is to have everything in one big VEP instance on one (powerfull) computer. But if you need extra horsepower you could have a second VEP on a second computer.

    My setup is Computer 1= DAW + VEP with VI Pro Instruments + MIR,

    Computer 2= VEP + Kontakt librairies


  • If you have a core i7, enough ram, and separate drives for reading content, one computer will be sufficient. I use VE PRO on a retina MacBook Pro using up an average of 13gb of ram.  Using all the hungry plugins like Omnisphere, EastWest, reaktor, etc. my sample libraries are stored on external SSDs via thunderbolt.
