Hey again,

after a few months of research & testing it seems to be a windows problem handling big files. My template (about 500MB) had been rewritten many times while setting it up. It appears that this caused the "lags". After rebuild my template by saving the libraries seperate & merch them together again solved my problem. Now it's smooth again as it should be. Hope that helps.

Greetings

Thanks to you 2! This really helped. :-) I got the Symphonic Cube on an internal M.2 drive already. So I just bought a 2TB drive and will transfer the libraries on it.

Thank you big time! :-)

Hey everybody,

i just upgraded to the VI Super Package (full) and I am as happy as I could be. I got a 1TB drive for my samples, which I would like to use for that madness. But VSL says it takes 1TB. So my question:

Is there enough space on that drive? It might sound a little stupid, but 1TB bought isn't 1TB in reality. ;-) So, has anyone tried to put the whole package on a 1TB drive? Do the Samples need some additional space for preloading etc?

Thanks in advance!

Chris

Hey,

(1): As Bill said. The DHCP setting still makes sense, but with static IPs for the PCs.

(2): First of all, yes it makes sense to assign a satic IP to your Android Box, as Bill said as well. ;-) The router has a range of IPs to assign to the network. E.g. 192.168.2.(2-255). So with DHCP on only the last number changes. Somehow you could run into problems, if that is not the case. If you have your Master-PC(192.168.2.2 - static), your Slave (192.168.2.3 - static) & your Android Box (192.168.5.xx via DHCP) it could happen, that OSC couldn't find your devices you want to control (because not only the last number changed). But normally you should be fine & that won't happen.

Hey,

I don't know if I got your problem right. You're using a Linux PC (presumably some distro with low latency kernel, like Ubuntu Studio?) & want to use vst intruments (strings) in your DAW (Ardour/LMMS?).

The problem I ran into, was that the elicener software you need to authentificate the the plugins could only be installed via wine. The software could be installed, but the USB dongle won't be recognized in linux or wine enviroment. I found no way to fix this. So I'm afraid you have to have a look around for vsts which don't need any hardware dongle. Software based authentification should work, but you might test is with a demo version first or contact the support. I decided to switch to Windows although I don't like it. But it's relativly cheap & I COULD use the plugins I want. E.g. the Vienna Libraries are amazing! DSK music has some free strings but I haven't tested them yet. If you need the strings only as backing for your main instrument you might just get a (used) keyboard with some nice string patches on it.

Hey gals & guys,

this is not a question, more a problem I tried to solve for weeks now & I solved it finally. I thought, some of you might suffer the same pain, so I want to share some experience I gathered out of it.

The Problem was, that my Slave-PC (Win10) got more and more laggy the more EW Players I opened up in VEP 7 until it completly got stuck (while the CPU- and RAM-usage is totally fine).

My framework was the following:

• Master PC (Win10)
• Sequencer
• Several Effect-Plugins
• Graphics Card (PCI-E Slot)
• Slave PC (Win10)
• Five less complex libraries
• VI Symphonic Cube (more complex)
• Onboard Graphics Card

Now I started to include EW Stormdrum 3, a more complex library (different microphone positions etc.) into my template. And the more Play Engines i opened the more my Slave-PC was getting laggy until I had to wait for about 2 minutes from click to result.

First I created one channel per instrument and it got stuck after a while, so I thought using the multi output (Play Engine) might solve the problem (less players to open). So I insert a Play Engine channel, stacked up 8 instruments and routed them to AUX-channels (in VEP). But at about the same amount of instruments i put into the template, my Slave-PC froze. I tried several routing chains and stuff. But I realized, two things:

• Although my template was frozen, in my sequencer the sounds came up with almost no latency, as it should be, when I played my MIDI keyboard.
• If I open other windows/programs on my slave machine, they work flawlessly. To cut it short:

Opening the BIOS (on the slave machine) & assigning the onboard graphics some fixed amount of RAM did the trick. The standard preference was "AUTO", which is almost always a bad state for any preference, if you ask me. ;-)

Hopefully it helped in some way.

Stay healthy & creative!
