Is it possible to load ALL clips into RAM as default?

[Tim V]

Could anybody advise if you can do this, rather than choosing it for every clip, individually?

Many thanks

You can just select one clip, the press CTRL+A (CMD+A) to automatically select the rest. Now you can hit that RAM button and you only need to do it once. There's way to set this as a default action for new clips though.

Brilliant, thanks

Be aware that you may run into memory issues depending on your situation and setup. 10 x 6 minute songs decoded to 24bit will total around one gb of memory. Many devices/ vsts require a sizable memory overhead to function correctly, not to mention the OS requirement.
So if you are converting your DJ set with 100 MP3s and a bunch of fx in the set to "all in memory", and it's all going on an 8gb laptop it'll be worth having a resource monitor on hand!

(That would be over 10gb in memory)

I read that somewhere - I have 16GB of RAM and only plan to use it with samples not for DJing with tracks, but are we talking about that or "available" or cached memory (which I don't really understand anyway, if I'm honest)

On older sampler instruments you worked with a lot less RAM and didn't seem to have much issue loading a complete song worth of samples and then some. Example: Roland MV-8000/8800 has a max of 512mb of RAM, all samples are loaded into RAM at all times yet you could load a project with many songs (16bit WAV). So I don't see why you couldn't get away with having everything in RAM as long as is was a song you're producing vs. hours of audio material for DJing.
