I've seen some benchmarks that show MainStage running about 500% more efficiently on a 15' GPU equipped machine. The ONLY downside to a 13' is the lack of GPU, which for whatever reason, MainStage absolutely LOVES to use. I'm starting to wonder whether getting a 32GB computer is even necessary at this point. VM is about 100x faster on SSD than 7200rpm, samples can be fully drawn from disc and played within the latency window. Back when I had a 7200rpm, my load times were getting up into the 7-10min range, and I was getting dropouts as soon as a project started reaching the 16GB RAM limit (which is only about 11 when you count the OS). I can't stress enough how much an SSD made a difference.

In the few times I've had to reboot during a show I can: A) switch to my Mojo, B) open a standalone Kontakt patch and be up in about 10secs, or C) cue my bandmates to play the aforementioned AC/DC song and go get us a round of beers. I load it while I'm setting up and that's that.

My project takes about a full AC/DC song to load (~3mins), but at 200+ tracks, that's not bad. The beauty of MainStage is that it loads EVERYTHING into memory on startup, so there's absolutely no load time between patches. So 3 instances of a piano patch only use the same amount of RAM as 1.Īs far as project load times, I've made my peace with it and just let it load. Kontakt, despite its faults, is EXTREMELY intelligent about its disc loading and handling: it has an OS-level engine that runs behind the scenes and only loads a particular sample once. But since I switched from 7200rpm to SSD, I've had ZERO dropouts or hiccups even with most of my stuff probably streaming DFD at this point.

I'm probably going to get a new MBP with 32GB this year, as my MainStage project is digging deep into VM. Yeah, my early 2011, 13' (which was a huge generation leap) is still running strong. You already own it, so all you need to do to hotrod it is shop around for good prices on memory and PLEASE get rid of the HDD and get an SSD in there I like the work flow, and the way it sources CPU.Īnyway, your 'ancient' 2012 MPB is more than capable of running what you want. I am also slowly switching over to Gig Performer since I am primarily using non-Apple libraries now. This prevents any CPU spikes when I switch to the next patch during the show. As Reeze mentions, when I launch Mainstage, I then scroll thru each patch. I am pretty much using The Grandeur as my main piano in the gig rig. Komplete 11 Select (came with my Komplete Kontrol 61MK2) This blows my late 2013 MPB Retina out of the water. SO now I have 1TB of SSD.įinally, I bought 16GB (2-8GB memory modules) and installed those.įar less than a newer non user upgradeable MBP

SInce SSD's are so inexpensive, I bought a second EVO 850 SSD, and the moutning kit to put it in the SuperDrive bay. I already owned a nice Samsung EVO 850 500GB SSD, so it was a no-brainer to pop that in. It came with just 4gb RAM, and a 500 GB HDD. It is an Apple refurbished and certified.
