So I can work with W8 Home without any problem of communication? 0.o This answer makes me happy :D

It's not an original copy. I want the original one but it'll be for a minimal use (slave samplers) so I'm asking for the smaller version of Win 7 or 8 I need.

Thank you ;)

We'll wait for someone else to be able to assure the use of Home for slave machines. 

I know, man. I have installed on the PC Windows 7 Ultimate, but a not-original copy. Don't get me worng, I got everything original, and used it to run this machine. Everything is ok now, and I'm about to purchase an original copy. I want, if it's possible, to save up some money getting rid of those feautures I won't ever use. We're talking about 50€.

So I'm asking if the home edition is enough to link two computers, I don't mind if crossover cable or what. In the VEPro requirements tab, VSL don't say anything about this, so I can understand that it doesn't matter what version to use. Just want to assure before purchasing.

Thank you again

Hello, everybody!

A Mac guy here with a new PC. I purchased a new PC and I'm about to buy a Windows, but I don't know wich one. I want to use the PC as slave or master, I'm not sure yet, but I wonder if a Windows 7 or 8 home could work with a crossover cable using VEP. I don't remember where I read one day Home editions don't work under nets. Don't know if I'm wrong or it's just a wrong remember.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks a lot!!!

So I'm gonna purchase a slave PC with a 4970k, 16GB Ram 1600 (16, at least for now), and 2 SSD of 500GB (I'll buy a SSD every month up to 4). I'll mostly working streaming from SSD.

I think this setup will be enough. What do you think about this gear?

Thank you very much!!!

But, the delay I suffer is due to my HDDs if all my samples are loaded into RAM?

Thank you, William. 

Then, your advice is to trust more in SSD than processor? RAM is already maximized in the Mac Mini, and in the MacBook just admits 8 more Gb. In regard to RAM, I can't do a lot more. Also, I have to buy a computer right now, perhaps later it would be more difficult for me to purchase one. I'm waiting for a babe

Don't know. I recently purchased the VE Pro to use my two machines and I now see the time to buy a slave PC to host the VE Pro. Perhaps I thought this is the right place to take advice. And sincerely, I don't use a lot the EW ones and ended up buying kontakt ones like Cinebrass, Orchestral Essentials and others. The thing got better a bit, but I need more power.

Thank you

Excuse me! What a chaos!!! Hahaha

Well. Regarding VSL instruments, the VE Pro 5 bundle and a trumpet only. I don't use them. I use more the ones I wrote in my original post that I think you didn't get to read due to the chaotic post.

Hi everybody! This is my first post, but I've been reading a lot from you until today. Thank you for all :P

I tell you a bit my issue. I'm struggling to go with between the best processor i7 quad core, or with a LGA 2011 slower i7 but with the possibility to harbor up to 64GB of RAM. I work with Cubase in a master Macbook pro i5 2.4Ghz and 8Gb of RAM and a slave Mac Mini i7 quad core 2.0Ghz with 16Gb of RAM. This gear is becoming a bit annoying to play live directly from VSTis. The delay is getting bigger, producing is a hell when I have to add some extra tracks of audio with plug-ins and the like. I have a basic orchestral setup within VE Pro 5 in the slave computer (Mac Mini), and when I have to load extra VSTi, everything is wastes of time. Don't wanna tell if I'm trying out instrument by instrument to find one that suits perfectly...

I have problems with the processor in order to be able to play and record easy from VSTi, and latches of RAM to setup a great template. The time of delay to load patches will be reduced with more RAM, I know, and would be a simple solution if I don't have enough money to buy SSD. Although, by owning some of them, I'd be able playing from the disc and release, with this way, a bit of RAM having more room for instruments. Certainly, I'll buy SSD, one each month, little by little.

So, with a tight budget below 800-1000€ (1000-1250$), I got these two possibilities:

1.- Better processor, up to 32Gb de RAM only.

• LGA 1150
• i7 Quad 4790k, 4.0Ghz- 316€
• Asrock Fatal1ty H97 Performance - 96€
• G.skill Ripjawsz Ddr3 1600 Pc3-12800 32gb 4x8gb Cl10 - 282€

Total: 694€

2.- Less processor but making sure not to be left without RAM in advance (up to 64GB of RAM).

• LGA 2011
• i7 Quad 4820k, 3.7ghz - 289€ 
• Asrock X79 Extreme6 - 190€
• G.skill Ripjawsz Ddr3 1600 Pc3-12800 32gb 4x8gb Cl10 - 282€ (I'll buy 32GB more from then on)

Total: 761€

I don't write other details down that I would have to analyze such as the amount of bays of SATA III for extra discs that I could need. Then, as I work with Cubase, and this works better under Windows, maybe I would be using the PC as "all in one", and the MacBook (this won't be sold) as a slave one for other libraries of Rock (drums, Trilian) if I will need 16GBs of RAM extra and I go with the option 1. With the option 2, I would use, in the case of more than 32GB, an only PC and I'd save consume.

Let's see what's better for my pretensions. I don't know how much RAM could be necessary in order to not to be loading instruments constantly. I own everything of EastWest (regarding orchestral staff, version Gold), all of Spectrasonics, all of Steinberg, and some Kontakt libraries and others of drums and synths like Nexus 2.

Thanks a lot in advance, and excuse me for my english.
