Automatic Failover

Great if you can report back if you get it sorted, always interesting to see solutions.

@JeffB63 are you still using iConnectivity (Playaudio)? Could you look me a roundtrip latency on 64 and 128 samples buffersize? Appreciate it!

Im away from home at the moment. Will have a look when i get back tomorrow.

Thank you very much!

Still interested :wink:

Hi.
Im getting Input Latency 2.83 ms and Output Latency 1.50 ms at 64 samples.
Input Latency 4.17 ms and Output Latency 2.50 ms at 128 samples.
Hope this helps.

Hi @JeffB63 ! Thank you very much! Can you say about your experience with a moderated / normal project in both sample rates (64, 128), does VL and iConnectivity like each others?

The only issue Iā€™ve had is with VL handling of the Lifesine plugin in that is silenced for a few milliseconds whenever I switch songs which, of course, triggers failover switching to the other computer. If youre planning to use manual switching or just use it with one computer it seems to be rock solid.

Yes, no failover for now but reliable low latency. On what buffersize youā€™re using it?

Quite an old laptop so Iā€™m running at 128 samples 48k but the CPU stays pretty low so I would imagine that 64 samples would be good.

We are working on a solution, this has also been reported because singers/moderators are interrupted when using global stacks and making announcements.

Next version will feature uninterrupted operation of global channels - mainly relevant for global stacks to continue working during Song changes. Give it a try.
ciro uses it so that tracks are connected to the global stacks (thanks a lot to that project, great testcase for us). Here, theory has it that switching may cause a short gap when tracks are dis-and reconnected, but couldnā€™t even spot one during preload Parts; it canā€™t get much heavier than that. Used an oscillator in addition to another 6 active global Stacks.

Thanks guys.

Sounds great! Canā€™t wait :slight_smile: (in worst case there was a buzzing-square on my GBL stack while changing songsā€¦ like the last stucked bit has been played until new song loadedā€¦ while talking about GBL stack).

Glad my project helped you tackle this issue!!

Now, if only i could have 6 to 8 sends per channel (and the random lyrics off sync sometimes bug solved) all my obstacles would be solved :sunglasses::joy::joy::sweat_smile:

Thank you both for the hard work You put to make VST Live 2 the perfect live system, better software on the market for live use!!
Ciao! Ciro

Really awesome! Thank you so much!

seems this weekā€™s builds will rock! :slight_smile:

Wohooo !!! Great news you rock!!

Thanks!!

Thanks for trying. Ive been able to reduce my failover setting from 250ms to 180ms but any lower is a no go.
Still, every little helps.
