  • Need help and advise

    I'm looking to buy old servers to run VEP.

    Looking for some advice before i purchase VEP 7.

    I'm relatively new, have heard about this and did my research on it but have never used VEP before. I am currently running at MBP 2019 16 inch with 16gb and it's being pushed to the limit with my VST instances and would like to look for options to offload them. 

    I've found a few options, but i'm not sure if any of these would be usable or make a difference or what else i would need before I could start.
