The two to work with are StormDrum 2 and the Vienna Special Edition. If a developer doesn’t want to give out an NFR to system integrators, they can make them available at a special non-resale system integrator’s price.

Unfortunately, I keep hearing from some of the main system integrators that they’re not getting review copies of the software to properly develop (e.g., R&D) effective systems. Has the system integrator spent their own out-of-pocket money to order in any copy of a PLAY library and Vienna’s Special Edition and Vienna Ensemble 3 to pre-test them on their systems before selling them to you? This includes authorized Mac resellers, too, including the Mac Store. Does the system integrator know that on the Mac, Vienna Instruments should NOT use Soundflower? I got this directly from Vienna’s Paul Steinbauer. Does the system integrator know that on the Mac, both PLAY and Vienna Instruments are 32bit? I refer you back to my article on Apwhere this was discussed.ģ. That’s because PLAY is designed to access the higher amounts of RAM.Ģ. With QLSO PLAY libraries, to not max out Logic resources, you need to run any PLAY library outside Logic and route the audio into Logic via Soundflower. On Logic, the EXS24 sampler has been designed to access 4GB of RAM. Both Logic and Digital Performer are 32bit and don’t operate above 2GB of RAM. So, one more time, here’s what you (they!) need to know. Has the system integrator know that PLAY libraries should use Soundflower ? This question is going to “tweak” some system integrators in the center of their ego. Since QLSO is PLAY scheduled to ship on July 15, I thought it a good idea to give you a list of issues to review with your system integrator.ġ. Sad to say, I was left underwhelmed at the feedback I was getting. This week I had some interesting conversations that made me wonder if those building the new Macs and PCs had been paying attention to the issues we’ve been discussing here for months.
