Running Vst Plugins Off Ssd

Posted By admin On 24.12.20

  1. We're currently conducting systematic tests with the release version of macOS 11 (Big Sur) in order to offer full compatibility of our products as soon as possible. You can find our latest compatibility status - here


    Please note that although announced at the same time as macOS Big Sur, Apple Silicon processors are an independent release with separate compatibility concerns for NI products. Compatibility with macOS Big Sur will not yet ensure compatibility with Apple Silicon processors. At the moment, Native Instruments products are not supported on computers with Apple Silicon processors. Read more - here

I have an 8GB Macbook Pro and a ton of Vst's on it which I use in Logic Pro. I want to keep buying some more Vst's, and putting other content on my computer as well. The problem is I am running out of space! I keep my computer pretty organized/clean so I know it's the Vst's taking up most of my space. Fxpansion free vst.

Discussion in 'KOMPLETE KONTROL SERIES' started by arcanejarek, Nov 23, 2018. Fl studio free drum vst.

This is Spectrasonic's Omnisphere running as a stand-alone soft synth inside Herman Seib's excellent Savihost utility. Savihost is one of the simplest VST hosts, as well as being a valuable test tool. Via SOS web site. The problem with SSD's is still cost. On my remote laptops the main drive is an SSD and I replace the optical bay with an SSD enclosure as well for a temp folder/back up recording drive. My main audio drives are still HDD and for stability they are between 500-750 GB Glyph enclosures or custom built enclosures. The best way to manage music plugins is to keep the plugin on the same internal drive as your operating system. Create an image of that drive periodically. The data for your plugins should be stored on an external drive or a second internal drive. I really dont know the spec details, but it was noticeable even migrating from an OS on ssd. VSTs on SSD is probably not nearly as important as OS on ssd, I am guessing. Because most VSTs will run in ram too. Samples in ram is the important bit. I run some samples off of 5900rpm discs, because it doesnt matter. Cost wise, heat wise, it just. I have an 8GB Macbook Pro and a ton of Vst's on it which I use in Logic Pro.

Chainer by Plug & Mix is may one of choice for hosting VST and VST instrument without a DAW. Just like Chainer by XLutop. Is also run as a standalone and as a plugin for DAW. The difference, it’s mainly to load the Plug & Mix VIP plugins. But once you authorize the app (Buy it).

Once I launched 3.2.2 I was really astonished that the engineers at Presonus decided to put this into the 'will not be fixed' pool as there is now a little message when you switch over to High DPI Mode: 'some plugins will be shown smaller when they cant be scaled' - haha - is this real?
Cubase, Ableton, Bitwig, Reaper - every DAW can be run in something like 'high dpi mode' WITH scaled VST plugins! (wether they can be scaled or not!)
So why this cant be also be done in S1?
Is it so impossible to add an option in the program to give the users the possibility to always scale the plugins in high dpi mode?

Here you can see two DAW's side by side: Studio One in High DPI Mode vs. Bitwig

This is not a bug. It is a Feature Request.
S1 uses Windows Scaling built in to the OS. The Plugin has to use the same approach.
It looks like other DAWs have figures a work around. Your picture would be a good to add to your FR posted here. http://answers.presonus.com/questions/s .. e-requests

But really - how can somebody say that this is not a bug?
I mean, NO one could use Studio One in that resolution in High DPI mode. It's just not readable.
Presonus cares? Does not seem so

I will vote for it.
I deal with it on a 40' 4K monitor.
It has been that way since the GUI was rewritten using new Windows graphic libs to support High DPI on Windows.
It would be interesting to see how the other DAWs are doing it.
Presonus cares? Does not seem so :cry

The developers are by the book in terms of normal OS behavior. They do not do software tricks or workarounds due to the side effects . If there is a legit way to do it by the rules they will support it.

This would be a radical feature, no doubt !
Anybody using two or more screens will agree, the distance between your speakers dictates the distance between the screens and your eyes, in my example that means about 1m (2x 26' @ 1920x1200, a 3rd on the side - so not even 4k or something).
You absolutely cannot read anything in many plugin UIs, take those Korgs or Toontrack Superior as sad examples for abandoned UI development.
At least Arturia have solved this longstanding problem yesterday ..
But allow me two remarks :
- to be really useful, you would have to be able to at least store 'scaling on/off' per plugin, even better would be individual zoom factors, as some of the better UIs would not benefit from scaling, on the contrary.
Sounds like a lot of work.
- on a closely related note, the subminiature note name fonts in S1's piano editor are borderline unusable too here at max zoom, I'm sure there are other examples too.
any visibility improvements would be most welcome indeed,

Wow, I guess this is the problem I am having. Just bought a highest spec Dell XPS 15 9550 laptop with a high screen resolution. Sending the monitor signal to a 26 inch monitor, my Omnisphere 2 plugin in S1 (latest version) is so small its practically useless.
Any solution in sight, PLEASE!?

I'm pretty sure that the problem is with Omnisphere, not Studio One, but have you checked the 'Enable High DPI Mode' option in the General tab of Stuio One's Options dialog?
I have exactly the same problem with some VSTs on my MS Surface Pro 3. I put in a feature request with the VST company to make a resizable GUI and some of them respond.

Change your OS scaling factor for the UI to something higher than 100%.
You may have to run it at a larger amplification for a 26' screen.
