ST3 does not multithread, ST4 does internally, so check which version those videos are referring to. They do make external RAID enclosures but not sure how portable you want your setup to be. I have a RAID-0 array for this, but I'm on a desktop. If this is the issue then RAM is the root cause, but you can further optimize this with another SSD drive dedicated to sampler libraries. You can check this in your OS's performance meter. Most modern OS's will easily eat half of your 8GB of RAM doing absolutely nothing. You have an SSD which helps but since it's also your main drive you may be having other issues (e.g., your OS churning virtual RAM).
For modern orchestration I would recommend 32GB at a minimum.Īny sampler that does not have enough RAM will attempt streaming-from-disk. If you are serious about using samplers primarily consider expanding memory as much as you can. Samplers in general are resource hogs, particularly with RAM. I also have a pretty lightweight set-up: Windows laptop with 8gb mem, i7 quad-core 2.8 ghz, 256gb SSD.) (Context: I'm definitely not a pro at music production and haven't even gone past my Reaper eval period yet. What are your experiences with Sampletank 4 and Reaper, and how have you been using it efficiently? Other posts on the IK forum argue the opposite: use separate instances on separate tracks to distribute CPU load over multiple cores. TL DR Question: What are some best practices for using Sampletank 4 with Reaper? Some videos suggest using one instance of Sampletank and routing inputs/outputs from other tracks to it. This was particularly bad with the Hot Horn instrument, which keeps crashing Reaper whenever I switch it from crescendo to falls. Not just playback, but even saving the project would take a good 5-10s. I noticed that when I use the larger samples from the SE version, Reaper would start getting really slow for me. I also had a bunch of IK Multimedia points from buying another product, so I was happy to upgrade for a pretty reasonable price.
Hey r/Reaper, I bought Sampletank 4 SE on IK's July 4th sale after trying the free version for a while.
