    Basic VE Pro question -- buffer settings

    If I'm not mistaken, if you use 2 buffers in VEP you will essentially double the latency your DAW reports at the given buffer size. EDIT: when you connect the VEP instance, you will see the added latency in the bottom right of that same window you posted a screenshot of.

    Dumb question: what differentiates a "mastering-grade" compressor / eq etc.?

    I think it mostly ties back to hardware outboard gear. A "mastering version" tends to have a narrower range (for EQs at least) and stepped potentiometers for easier recall and signal matching.

    Spitfire Player -- is it possible to pre-set volume of individual articulations?

    Hey John, If you set 'Global' to 'off' in the mixer, adjustments to signal levels will be made on a per-articulation basis. That's the only way to do it that I'm aware of.
