Hello All - I am in the middle of a surround sound mix 7.1. and I am getting pops in my play back audio now. It was doing just fine and then all of the sudden it started popping pretty bad. Is there anything I should be looking for in memory management.
Here are my specs:
Windows 7 platform - dual 8 core (16 core total) 3.2 gig Abu Dabi chips
128 gig of Ram
8 terribyte of Raid (SATA)
1 terribyte OS drive (SATA)
1 teribyte SSD drive
Nvidia - K5000 video card
AD/DA converter - DigiGrid MGB (Madi to Digico SD10)
Project specs:
138 surround 7.1 tracks
8 VST reverbs (Reverence)
All channel EQ’s are being used
53 compressors UAD Octo card
18 filters UAD Octo card
12 Delays VST nuendo
20 Reverbs real verb pro - UAD Octo card
My VST meter shows about 55% load with all my reverence reverbs are on. They real time peak is always bouncing to the max no matter if I have the reverbs on or off. Taking off the Reverence reverbs does clean it up but even when I add just 1 it starts to pop. The weird thing about it is, it didn’t start popping until much later after I had added those reverbs. So it wasn’t that obvious when trouble shooting but when I finally turned off all VST efx and then slowly added each one back one by one I was able to isolate it down to that specific effect.
My Latency settings are - 5ms on Input and 7ms on output.
Is there a way to increase VST performace? My cpu’s are only using about 25% on average with everything on.
