Hello, I am fairly new to this and built myself a template. I have been able to work with what I got so far on Cubase 11. But I seemed to have hit a wall.
To rule out system specs - AMD 3900X and 128 GB of ram. and samples are on a 1TB SSD right now. my OS and cubase is running of an M2 SSD.
So I built this beautiful template as seen in Figure 1 with all my sections and have been able to compose for a bit with it. It has been working fine. I have instances of VEP for each section as shown in Figure 2 and I load an articulation per midi channel then use a batch rename of each output channel. And it has been working beautifully. I have the samples purged and I had all the instances decoupled since I learned that saving (especially cubase auto saving) would actually hang both VEP and Cubase for a bit of time). There however seems some weird instances, where I was renaming one of my mixers as per figure 3 and it crashed. Maybe cubase 11 is buggy. But it worked the second time find without issue.
The next thing is when I am adding another track or midi instrument, the program seems to crash. For example, I was adding a new vep instance where I was going to use the Kontakt Factory VSL Legacy Harp. And I had success in adding it with its own folder and named channel. It just crashed once in that process. I think tried to add some of the woodwinds from the VSL legacy, particular piccolo and english horn just to see how they will sound. It crashed when adding the midi tracks, or after adding them when I was naming them, or naming their mixers, or moving them to the appropriate folder. A reasonable conclusion was that maybe Cubase 11 was just not stable for me. So I decided to open my project under Cubase 10. It also crashed while doing the same thing. My ram usage is maxed out at 40% and CPU is only showing 20% when looking at Task Manager. Did I hit a limit with VEP Pro server or the number of tracks that Cubase can handle? It seems its not really unlimited. But then if my computer has the resources to handle it, why is Cubase struggling with the count?
Any insight would be appreciated, thanks in advance!
