After 20 years of using Logic on stage, your concept for a live performance program really appealed to me. That’s why I switched. The advantages are definitely there. Now I just need to get the RAM issue under control. So I’m collecting any tips I can find.
Yes, I certainly have high expectations, as I had the freedom from a very early age to create special programs for live concerts that would have been unthinkable on a keyboard 20 years ago.
Suggestions:
1. A computer with 128 GB of RAM
2. Three computers with 48 GB of RAM each, each with a gig file open and all songs distributed across the three gig files.
3. Load each song individually. That’s how I did it in Logic.
4. Predictive loading. We don’t have a fixed setlist. Short waiting times aren’t a problem. I had that in Logic too. But will the RAM be constantly filled and cause performance issues during the gig?
While I'm writing this, I'm also looking around here and found this entry:
Would that be the solution? Like I said, waiting times aren’t the problem in my band.
5. Use fewer sample libraries
6. I switched my system from 44.1 to 48 kHz because supposedly the latency and processing power would be reduced. Am I mistaken?
