Orchestral template for EW Products
Good afternoon friends:
After many years I am finally putting together a comprehensive template for all of my EastWest virtual libraries, or at least the orchestral libraries, starting with the Hollywood series. Those are huge, the samples alone are somewhere between 500 GB and 1 TB. Maybe even more.
I am creating subfolders for each of the four main sections (woodwinds, brass, percussion, strings), and then sub sub folders for individual instruments, solo and ensemble, and then sub sub sub folders for short / long / effects / legato, etc.
I'll spare you the details, but two practical questions:
1. I have over a hundred tracks already, and I am just at the brass (trumpets). I have a separate instance of Play for every individual instrument track, which is eating up CPU power like crazy. Disabling the FX brings it back to normal. Is that the way to go about it? Play is pretty efficient but I suppose running 300 instances simultaneously is too much for most computers.
2. I have plenty of RAM (24 GB), but I noticed that disabling the FX does not result in the instruments being unloaded. Is there a way to do this in Reaper? I know that in Cubase you can "disable" tracks, looking for something similar.
Thanks!
