So I'm using about 33 instances and I don't see any cpu load issues at all.  Stable. 

I'm using 1 effect on 1 instance for FX bus in Cubase.

One other question on this issue:  Does turning off instances change anything regarding CPU load?

AnyKenny,

Yea, that's the question in a nutshell.  I'm currently running abotu 15 instances for effects busses and it's working just fine.  But I'm going to try doing about 40 (1 effect per instance) and see if I get any different performance (audio pops,clicks / latency).

I'll post up whatever happens.

Paul, thank you for that info.  So it's unnecessary, just stick with 1 gb switches and I'll be fine.  I'm mostly using VEpro for rock-n-roll (effects) so I don't need that many tracks.  

Thanks again!

Would a 2.5 gigabit switch work better for ensemble pro?  Perhaps EP is not programmed to utilitze anything higher than 1 giabit?  Maybe even if it is, there would be no benefit?  My new motherboard supports 2.5 lan so I'm wondering if I should purchase a 2.5 switch?

Is there a way to have Ensemble Pro 7 automatically load in a server project when it is started up?  I can't seem to get it to do it and could not find any posts on this subject in this forum.

please keep us posted.

Does anyone know if moving from a 1 gb swtich to a 2.5 (along with pci-e cards) would improve Vensemble pro?  Maybe my latency is about my 3rd gen i7.  I'm trying to figure out ways to reduce latency.

I'm using for Rock-n-roll, moslty effects and some VST instruments.  With that said, Cubase is a pain because if I put 1 instance with 5 different reverbs on different outputs, in Cubase, if I turn off an output for the Epro instrument track, it will rename it back to "output 1/2" - 

What I mean is - once i turn on an output for the Epro output, in the mixer i can rename it from "output 1/2" to "Roomworks".  But if I turn off that output, Cubase clears the name because it's no longer in the mixer.  If I turn them back on, Cubase doesn't remember the previous name - it renames it back to "output 1/2".

Thus, I'm sort of forced to create 1 instance for 1 effect if my names in Cubase are to remain.  I say this because I don't want to turn on tons of outputs in Cubase.  But if I turn them off, then all I see in the mixer is "output xx".  PAIN!

So I'm guessing 20-30 instances may be the way to go.

Any suggestions?

Just for clarification, are you referring to Server or the Plugin?

Hi all, new here, just picked up VSLEpro7 this weekend.

Someone on facebook told me that adding lots of inputs and outputs to instances causes a load on the system.  Does that sound right?  I would think it's only true if you're using them.

The odd thing is I was getting cracks and pops so I changed my settings from 32 in/32 out (it was defaulted when I installed it) to 8 in/8 out and the pops and clicks stopped.  

Is it true?

Hi, I know it's a pain for me not to answer your question, but I just bought a 2nd PC (windows 10 pro) and am trying to figure out how to network a master and slave.  Any chance you have some links you can share that will instruct me?

I know, read the manual, but I must ask...Is it possible to have sections on certain channels, Violas on ch 1, Cellos on 2, Perc on 3?
