disable VST loading into ram

[willard cottrell]

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?

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...

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

Disconnect the synth from it's tracks

Archive the track. That's specifically what it's for.

It'll still load samples into ram.

How can it do that if the instrument itself isn't loaded into RAM? Who's doing the loading?

No, it shouldn't if the synth is disconnected (or archived).

Try it yourself.

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.
