Audiogridder - Large Orchestral Template With Ableton

[MaximillionBowie]

Hello Fellow Audiogridders!

So I've been able to create a pretty decent size orchestral template running Audiogridder locally on the same machine as Ableton Live, I'm using about 50 tracks, each with an instance of Audiogridder, with each instance running 1 instance of Kontakt 7 and a patch from Spitfire Symphony Orchestra. Pretty darned good! so far! After tweaking around a bit, it's running smoothly with the settings of:

same buffer size for all plugins
use fixed size outbound buffers
block size: host (Ableton is at 128)
4 blocks

Audiogridder Server is in local mode with sandbox mode disabled.

I saved a n Ableton template with every instance of Kontakt within audiogridder purged, and it's recalling and playing well, so far. My system is a Macbook Pro M1 Max with 64gb RAM running Sonoma, and my samples are on a fast external firewire 4 nvme ssd drive. I had a terrible experience with VE Pro 7, and I have to say, so far, Audiogridder is healing my Vienna wounds quickly - it is much better, and much easier to run.

What a cool tool this is. Wowza!

Happy Holidays!
All the best,
Max
