I use a local VEPro to host the instruments, and the Reverb’s are all in Pro Tools. The main machine is doing various libraries including my VSL winds and strings, and also AudioModeling winds and SampleModeling strings, Superior Drummer 3, Damage 2 and a host of other Kontakt instruments, as well as Altiverb and a few other verbs for tail. The remote machine is handling many things, most notably the SampleModeling brass which are pretty demanding CPU-wise, but also the OT Metropolis Arks and several percussion libraries (it’s also where I’ve “quarantined” the EW Play player). My main machine is a 2013 Mac Pro 12- Core with 128 GB of RAM and ProTools HDX with an HD|IO and the satellite is currently a 2010 Mac Pro 3.7Ghz 12-Core with 64 GB RAM.

So I’m wondering what things I can do to address large buffer sizes in the remote machines I use. It’s coming time to build a new PC for remote VEPro duties.
