zircon Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 1. What 3 VSTs are you using? 2. Does your CPU meter hit 99% before you get the noise, or is it much less than that? 3. Do you use your soundcard's drivers in your sequencer of choice, or do you use something like asio4all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAB Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 1)hi , the vsti i use are vanguard , nexus, and z3ta , some times i use nexus twice. 2)mainly around 80 to 90% however on some pads i hear it on very low cpu , but i dont no if this is in the patch it self. use asio all the time , Thanks you.

realpolitik Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 all the plugins you just named are known cpu-killers. are you using any special kind of asio native to your soundcard or just asio4all or something of the like? because after i switched from asio4all to my e-mu 1820m's e-mu asio my latency dropped like 10 ms. as i understand, a faster processor is directly correlated to plugin performance, so that may be the issue.
