I’m running a PC with a Intel i5 10600K and 32 gigs ram on a Gigabyte Z490 Vision G MOBO.
I use orchestral samples with Kontakt and wondering if I should max out to 128.
I generally use around 70 tracks but would like to increase to 100.
Currently I have to disable a lot of tracks.
Thanks
It depends on the use, if you have many kontakt channels like the op then you will definitely load it as your track count gets higher.
If you mostly use audio channels then you need less
I see this post is from two years ago. However, I’ve been working a large project with 64 gigs of ram. Halfway through, I was having to juggle freezing tracks. Now, I’ve finally upgraded to 128 gigs of ram. So, the project takes up 70 gigs of ram, so that would explain the issues. So far, 128 gigs of ram is my personal preference for a minimum amount. I’m not one to brag about how many tracks I have accumulate in a project, as I always begin with a blank slate. This project tipped near 200 tracks, and they were all traditional instruments. Anyway, 128 gigs is wonderful:)
