All works fantastic on Mac Mini M4 and on 2010 Mac Pro running Monterey.
LMK if you find any issue.
This is a large project requiring a lot of RAM, so older computers with limited RAM won’t be able to open this gig file.
My estimate based on the Augmented STRINGS project is that it would require about 60GB of RAM.
Nice work! It loads and runs fine on my 2014 Mac Mini with 16 GB.
And FYI: There are a few plugins within some of the rackspaces that aren’t connected on one of the left or right channels. But, understandable…a LOT of work done there!!
oh no!!!
did i miss some? i could swear i was using the shift key.
perhaps some got deleted accidentally while i was replacing plugins, and assigning presets to variations.
and
oh yay!!
it works on your mac min with 16gb ram. hurray! that means Augmented VOICES is less RAM intensive than Augmented STRINGS.
i am curious how my 8gb iMac will react to it. i don’t expect it to crash, but let’s see.
I will post this first - in case the pc crashes.
@jpt OMG!
You are right - it DOES work even on my iMac 2012.
It even opened pretty fast!!!
After opening the RAM shows about 2GB being used.
That’s a huge difference of RAM requirement between VOICES and STRINGS.
oops - false alarm.
i had the MAGIC OF predictive loading turned on - so it didn’t really load the full set of all rackspaces.
i was wondering!
with predictive loading off - i will try it again.
btw - i only saw the presets “Dreams From the Deep” from the Pad (15) rackspace had the Left audio out wire disconnected and “A Soul To Borrow” had the Right disconnected. but at a 2 min glance i couldn’t see others.
Yup with predictive loading off - it crashed my iMac 2012 with 8GB of RAM.
It went completely dark screen and frozen. I had to hold down the power button and turn it back on. I thought it was fried for a second - but it’s not.
opening it on the Mac 2010 running Monterey with 128GB of RAM - the Activity Monitor shows RAM usage (just opening the project) without any plugins active and without opening any of the plugin editor windows - about 50GB (48.44 to be exact).
This value will go up, if i start navigating through the variations activating one plugin at a time. It can reach up to about 60GB ram.
Well after trying it, it didn’t quite reach 60GB of RAM, it only got up to about 52.
