  • CPU and RAM Upgrade: Better on Master or Slave?

    As in the title....given that I mainly work with:

    - Lots of VSTs and Kontakt instances
    -Lots of Orchestral Work
    -Not so much audio recording
    -A few plugins in the inserts, but the most of them would be used only in mixing/mastering phase, when I have already bounced all the VSTs tracks to audio to do some mixing...

    1) Is it better to have the most powerful CPU on the master computer (where I run Cubase) or on the slave, where I run loads of VSTs ?

    2) Is it better to have most RAM memory on the master, or the slave?

    Again, this is in the scenario of working mainly with lots of VSTs for large orchestral midi mockups, and a few plugins used sometimes in the inserts or on the master bus, just to smooth/glue the overall sound while composing.

    Thanks in advance!
