I do believe ram usage is very similar unless you start using muliple mics. Obviously the extra instruments will add a little ram footprint if you use them. The tricky thing is, once you have the mics it’s hard not to use them.
Let me quote myself:
Of course, you could also split the sections like that.
When you get Pro, just use the tree mic...MIX 1 sounds like ass...LOL. Once you see how the other mics sound, just save the defaults to TREE mic and you will be fine. when it comes time to render, then you can create a blend of mics that works for you, and save it as a preset...then bounce and make inactive...so on and so forth. 16 gigs is not much RAM...so a little TCL and creative workflow will get you through.
What Jake said plus: it also depends if you are only writing with BBCSO or if you are using a wild mix of VIs (especially, BBCSO together with libs that can be purged). I've worked with 16 GB RAM for the last two years and using BBCSO in complement with other libs works quite well.
Thank you Theladur.
Beg to Differ. That would be Soundiron Flatulus.
The issue is that when you combine MIX 1 among many tracks, it gets muddy...no way is it good for everything. Personally it's too much, and you are stuck with someone else's mic mixes...I dislike it...tree mic is much more natural to say the least, especially with the cuivre patches. But if it works for you, great..I just don't know anyone who uses Pro, and sticks with MIX 1.
I have found that a little time spent with the various mic mixes, is well worth it. In the beginning, I tried various combinations to see which would equal the MIX 1...then started eliminating mics until it sounded more natural. The cool part though, is that you can save preset after preset, then toggle to the original to see if it's better or not. I just wish they included a solo, mute and a mic group feature...that would make it far more useful to check mic positions.
I'll look for that. Haven't encountered it yet. Is this about lack of detail? I'd intended to just layer other strings over it if that's the case. Experiments with that so far have been satisfactory.
I'll have to trust that you have the experience to endorse that advice. I presume it is indeed great advice if you have a clear vision of what you want. At this point for myself, more mic options is just a distraction.
This is where my amateurish nature sets me apart. I would be spending this time layering in other libraries. I realize you then potentially have two or more sets of midi controls and/or tracks to manage, but thus far I'm liking that approach. Could turn out to be overwhelming, we'll see.
To answer one question…yes, I’ve the experience. I’m primarily a pro mix engineer for many years, so for me it’s not hard to get a blend. Also I’ve a good grasp on orchestration…but more to the point, core was not meant to be lackluster as there was only pro when it came out…which already had mix 1. So it’s a scaled down version if I recall. I didn’t buy pro when first released, so my recollection is a bit sketchy but I do believe this to be the case.I'll look for that. Haven't encountered it yet. Is this about lack of detail? I'd intended to just layer other strings over it if that's the case. Experiments with that so far have been satisfactory.
I've heard the conspiracy that Spitfire deliberately made Core's Mix lacklustre to force you to upgrade, but I dunno. How are they supposed to predict that everyone who uses Core has the disk space and extra resources to run Pro? Makes more sense Core is designed for hobbyist schmoes like me.
Which leads to:

This subject does make me wonder, who is Core meant for? The answer could be on page 387 but I lack the stamina to search for it. At this point if Core doesn't work out, I'd rather just use something else.
yes low C only. Might be due to use? how often is it used as marcato? No idea...
Did anyone post this yet? Pretty incredible…
Sounds like wrong notes at 3:45 but easily fixed (unless this is correct but sounds weird to me).
All this on Core (encore geddit?) is amazing work.
That's the first thing I thought, those trumpet attacks aren't in BBCSO.Its not just BBC though. At least the trumpets show up in SINE player there.
Haha I thought the same. I love the strings and winds, they’re
Ah ok. Sorry, I hadn’t realised.Its not just BBC though. At least the trumpets show up in SINE player there.
