The VI Player is beautiful and I love how powerful it is, but it is not anywhere near as resource friendly as other vendor interfaces (there could be many reasons for this, but it isn't a limitation of my machines, it's a matter of resource usage of the VI interface, possibly its samples and the process it uses to uncompress them on the fly). Always been that way and have done every change known to man (hard drives, RAM, seperating one drive on USB, one on Firewire, sound card on expresscard slot etc) just to make sure nothing conflicted. I can run 30-40 EXS at one time, just as many Kontakt players, but the second I load a VSL VI, I get no more than about 5-7 and it's pop click bang boom. I am able to run many more instances of anything other than VSL interfaces. So add all the resources both VSL and Sibelius use, and then if you try to throw in some effects like reverb etc on that macbook pro, don't expect to get much performance.ĭo you have a 7200rpm drive internally or is it the standard 5400? The difference is enormous in terms of performance increase. To bad Sibelius doesn't let you freeze/bounce tracks to audio to save resources. It's awful as a DAW performance (and options) wise.Īndi might be able to help you more though as he seems to be the absolute go to person about all "Notation" orchestrating with VSL (but he roams the other thread for notation software). The only thing I would use Sibeilus for is to make a score to print for someone, nothing more.

I can freeze tracks etc and free up resources. I have wasted so much time on Sibelius over the years but finally dropped it for Logic. Even with gigastudio, if I ran it on the same box I needed higher latency settings and could never push an entire orchestra until I got a super machine. I have been using Sibelius since version 2. It is the least efficient application I own.

That application is terrible to run as a "one box does all" system.
