willard cottrell 14 Posted November 17, 2020 I am developing a template but have been unable to find info on disabling a VST from loading into ram. I use BBC SO, GPO 5, easrwest string orch much more than my other orch Vst's. Generally use a number of articulations and various Vst instruments, but not in every project Is there a way to have a folder w/ eastwest present, but w/o it being loaded into ram?

Glenn Stanton 191 Posted November 17, 2020 if you open a file while holding the shift key down, it will ask if if you want to load a plugin, one at a time. and it works when opening from a "new from template" or new from the start screen... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willard cottrell 14 Posted November 17, 2020 Thanks for your reply. Just to make sure I'm on the right track. I could have a series of VST folders ie EW; GPO; listed but empty. Then when I open the template simply install what I need. IE 5 GPO tracks, 2 EW etc Thanks Willard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bitflipper 1,036 Posted November 17, 2020 Archive the track. That's specifically what it's for. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bitflipper 1,036 Posted November 18, 2020 How can it do that if the instrument itself isn't loaded into RAM? Who's doing the loading? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bitflipper 1,036 Posted November 19, 2020 We're apparently talking about different things. I'm sure if you suggested an experiment that demonstrates samples loading on an archived track, that would clear up the misunderstanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
