  4. VEP pro6 slave on nMP or PC ?

  • VEP pro6 slave on nMP or PC ?

    I want to set up a slave for my HO diamond and need some advice based on performance and stability only and not budget.

    Would you use a nMP 6 cores @ 3.5 Ghz, 64 GB ram to host VEP 6 or a similar 6 cores Xeon or i7 PC (with the same amount of ram) ?

    With a nMP (specs above), i manage to load roughly 100 patches before audio starts to distort (CPU shows 80% and ram usage at 23 GB), I was hoping to get all the HO patches one machine slave, is this even realistic ? If so can someone recommend a machine's specs ?

    Thanks

    Hi Anhtu, 

    I think you are using too many abbreviations. 

    Best,

    HO = Hollywood Orchestra Diamonds 

    nMP = new MacPro (Thrashcan)

    VEP = Vienna Ensemble Pro 6

    Far more bang for the buck, and better performance from Play, with a slave PC. I run a large Hollywood Orchestra VE Pro 6 emplate on my slave PC with a supplemental Kontakt VE Pro 6 template on my Mac with Logic Pro as my DAW,
