Just starting work on building a template, and am wondering how best to load stuff. On my slave machines there's obviously no question - I'll be using VEPro to load instruments into. But on my main DAW I'm wondering what's going to work best. Should I simply load tonnes of instances of VIPro onto Cubase instrument channels? Or should I run VEPro on the machine, and host the instruments in that. A lot of people seem to do the latter, but I can't imagine what the advantage is - in fact it seems to me that this must add to the processing load.
On a related note, I'm looking to run fairly big instances of VEPro on the slaves, which I believe is better than lots of small ones. I read that, when using the VST3 plugin, the number of MIDI inputs appearing in Cubase would automatically match the inputs per instance on each machine - but this doesn't seem to be the case. No matter how many MIDI inputs I set per instance, on the slaves, in Cubase I can only see 8 inputs per connection. Am I doing something numbskulled?
