Default Re: WHY MUST I BUY EXTRA SOFTWARE TO RUN VI's

Its like Apple selling me a 8 core machine with 20 gigs of ram, but then when I start using it I discover that its only 6 cores with 10 GIGs of ram. And then Apple turning around and saying, but its still better that a G5, and you know we did start with a Mac 128 K..
Common digi, deliver what you advertise. Isnt there a law against false advertising ?

Nope... Just PT9 but its the same exact story

Logic or Sonar I can have 8 to 14 VI's all playing in real time at super low buffer settings but PT no matter what buffer, I can totally kill it with 3 or 4 VI's

6 (yes six) instances of Superior Drummer 64 bit, Spectrasonics Trilian 64 bit, Amplitube 3, Vintage Warmer 64 bit, and Ozone 4 with a buffer of 32. Click the link below and look at the usage while playing the session... almost NOTHING and with cores to spare on my Mac Pro 3,1

Default Re: WHY MUST I BUY EXTRA SOFTWARE TO RUN VI's

ive wondered for years how anyone could be ok with this poor perfomance when it comes to mordern day VI's.

i can track drums,gtr,vocals all day long on my hd system with no problems. add in some omnisphere, kontakt etc and watch pt really suffer.
i feel pt should come with a warning on the package ................

"this program may or may not work smoothly with modern day VI's careful planning must be made if you plan on doing any serious work in big sessions with current virtual instruments. use at your own risk"

in my workflow this is the biggest show stopper. mostly everything else in pt really works great especially in 9. but, VI performance is just horrible, been saying it for years with zero change at avid

Wow! Standard Pro Tools 9.x on OS X 10.6.x and Pro Tools is dead after three or four RTAS VI instantiations.
