RAM and disk requirements
.
Gig Performer itself does not require a lot of RAM. The real constraints on RAM and disk space are the requirements of the plugins used. If your system is really limited and you need to run some disk or RAM intensive plugins, please review this article on Predictive Loading that might be helpful and this article to learn about clever ways to optimize your plugin usage.
Plugin Formats
Gig Performer supports VST and VST3 on both platforms and AudioUnit (AU) plugins on Mac only. You can have Gig Performer project files (gig files) open normally on both platforms.
NB: If you want to keep gig files cross-platform you must use the VST or VST3 versions of your audio plugins.
