Ever since I installed the first version of VST Live 2.0 there have been dropouts when playing back my imported audio files into Tracks. The following updates have not solved that issue. The drop outs appear randomly and stay for just a second or two but still they are very anoying. Anyone having a clue about this åroblem and how to solve it?
… which version exactly are you running of VST Live 2? Be sure that you are running the latest Pre-Release. Find out more here.

I’m running the latest prerelease 2.1.6. The drop-out problem has stayed exactley the same since my installation of the first 2.0 version

It happened to me this summer too. Now it hasn’t happened to me anymore.
You also had interruptions in the backing tracks but the tempo continued to go correctly? Like someone muted them and then unmuted?
Yes these interruptions in backing tracks are very anoying. What did you do to make them stop?
Would you mind to send us your project file, just the .vlprj file, no audio etc needed? Then we can possibly figure out what might cause this. Also some description of your system (OS, audio interface, buffer size (latency) etc), any hint can help.
Are you using DMX or automation? Then try “Reduce data” on those clips in edit menu.
To narrow the problem, try to disable other tracks, plugins etc, and watch the CPU meter when dropouts occur, does it turn red?
Just playing audio tracks pretty much never fails, so there must be something else causing this. Also we had a problem with cut audio events (clips), but that was fixed in 2.1.6.
I see the same issue, not with audio files, but with complex drum tracks linked to Groove Agent 5 full version (‘moved’ from GrooveAgent via drag&drop into VSTLive.
No change thoughout all weekly versions.
Could not be a ‘easy to find’ CPU load thing - Intel 14700K on Aorus motherboard, CPU load about 15% max., 64gb RAM
Drop out are random, where they appear and when, always about 1 sec long, but not always as long as the ‘event’ before. Sometimes no dropouts, sometimes more dropouts.
No difference if the project is loaded via M.2 SSD or via NAS.
Sounds a little bit like a ‘buffer overflow’ and ‘garbage collection’
I am currently looking to learn more on ‘Intel core parking services’ to see if it is caused by processor core logics, maybe root cause is there.
I imagine there are less dropouts on freshly booted PC and first loaded VSTLive project, than if you have loaded a few projects before.
I keep you posted when I found our more
