The problem may be that I got the cart before the horse, in that I should have the libraries in the SSD and the programs in the pc. Now I have an empty exterior drive and limited capacity remaining on the Asus.

To be realistic, I have 4gb RAM, but won't be loading 16 tracks with effects that would max it out. If I put a DAW in the Asus, does it matter where the libraries reside. I am just trying to look ahead before I get into a real mess.


I have 32 GB of memmory in my mac mini..
Some vst’s really need a lot of memmory..

In general vst sounds dont reside in memmory
They are loaded every time they are needed..
There are many hosts that can be set to preload from a setlist.
(Also free hosts for windows)
So there is allways a few patches on your list in the memmory
So you don’t get delays loading those vst as you choose a new one..

I think 4GB is under the minimum advised for running basic vst’s (8GB)
So this might interfere with preloading
Also some vst’s like uhe stuff and omnisphere/keyscape require 16Gb to work fine
