Been playing with it for a few days, it's really faster than v6 to me (All Windows 10 Pro machines). I've tried the included fx but using them inside a slave doesn't seem right to me so I don't plan on using them. Tried Epic Orchestra v2, not something for me and I don't care for the Synchron player.
What I love!:
- I've been using Studio One 4 a bit more than Cubase 9.5 Pro lately and v7 finally uses a lot less CPU on it.
- Loading my full VSL library with
ALL articulations (Appa1 str ext, Orch str 1-2 std, WW std, Harp1 ext, SE1, SE1Str, SE2Str and tens of individual instruments = 190Gb off SSD) for 62 instances each using mirx Teldex. It only used 800mb standby RAM on a puny i7-2630 laptop with 8Gb
Things I'd love to be addressed or improved:
- I'm still puzzled why they still can't save a server project without depending on the IP address, they should use other methods of identifying it, PC Name, etc. I know how to view the VEP Project file to determine the IP that was used but still, it's certainly something it should not rely upon.
- They should implement drag and drop instrument presets, like Studio One has, I do instances per instruments. I don't use full static templates but rather add sub templates for instance my full VSL library, sections of EW Hollywood Strings, etc
Good work VSL! This one's worth it in my opinion
