    Help - audio dropouts

    It might help other advise you if you listed What your audio interface was. Saying  it’s older doesn’t help much. Did it have drivers that are 100% made for windows 10?

    No, audio driver is windows 7 - no updates - no support.  It is a 64bit driver.  Should I tell windows to use win 7 compatibility on the audio driver?     (Can't  - it is a  sys file.)

    Help - audio dropouts

    - Didn't want to post in Kevin Smith's thread.

    I was running smoothly in Win7 with some help by Mathew Sorrels. Then, we got the ASIO update.  Dropouts started with the ASIO update and continued through the next update.  I waited until a second update before I decided to post this, hoping it would be resolved.  Since things were not going so good with the ASIO update in Win7, I decided to upgrade to Win 10.  I could also keep the Cakewalk updates going and hoped that this would help.  Since the ASIO and the Win 10 upgrade, I have had multiple crashes daily, and can't play projects that worked fine before these 2 upgrades. I have an older i7 2700 Studio Cat computer.  I also have an older sound card.

    I have turned off and tweaked everything in Win 10 I could find to do.

     

    Latency monitoring - 

    Current interrupt to process latency 58.-79 then bounces to  100+every few seconds

    Highest measured is 326

    ISR routine exception time 86.59

    Highest reported DPC routine execution time 251

    Total hard pagefault count 377
     

    Any help would be appreciated - Thanks,

    I have an older I7 but still - I am having to freeze everything.   My latency set at  2048.  I have recently moved to Win10.  I fell like I lost some processing power in the upgrade.  I have turned off everything I could think of.   I wish we could have an "official" statement of tweaks. I wish it would have  a few levels - These will help, These will help more, and - If you are desperate for horsepower try these.

    Also - we have had tons of great  bug fixes - but now it might be time to put some resources toward performance.

    I can hardly play any projects with ThreadSchedulingModel value set to 3.

    Thanks,

    All iZotope Plugins quit working

    Yes I have been following that thread. I decided to use a backup and restore stuff. Don’t know what happened.  I will also try the new scanner.  I always wanted to put VSTs in VST2,VST3 and VST32 under common files.  Seems like a great place for them.  Thanks again for your VST inventory ahk program.  Don’t know how you did all that in ahk, but it works great! I deleted over 100 duplicate vsts with its help!

    I tried to open a file I was working on a couple of days ago.  I found out RX7 was  (in brackets).  I uninstalled / reinstalled RX7 . Rescanned.   I moved authorization to computer from iLok. Rescanned plugins.   Authorized  computer and iLok. Rescanned.  I found out that all izotope plugins are not working. Ozone RX2 RX3  RX4.... ALL gone.  My product portal looks fine, reinstalled it  too. Scans were inside preferences.  Tried rescan failed, rescan all.   Still no luck.  I also emailed iZotope.  All my other plugins are working fine. Sure would have been nice to work on some music tonight. I did notice that iZotope put DLLs in the VST3 folder.  There were also .VST3s  there too.   DLLs were also located in VST2 folder.  Stand alone RX7 and Ozone work fine.

    Any ideas?

    Проблемы с аудио CWBL при использовании asio и reac

    in Cakewalk by BandLab

    Posted

    If anyone is interested - This is from google translate so you know it might not be exactly correct. 

     

    Greetings to the developers!  I am aware that the main developer is SONOR Russian and I am very proud because I myself am a shcoder.  I am writing for you guys - while there was a sonor - it was possible to route audio through the reac control panel and asio forcibly setting the inputs and outputs that you really need.  The roland company sent me their m480 remote control and 2 multicores 6 years ago - the remote is a wonderful workhorse - simple and thought out to the smallest detail like your sonor program - a product of amazing quality.  By installing drivers for it, I didn’t suffer - it immediately appeared in the sonor, I set the outputs and inputs that were necessary for me and directly controlled the remote control from the sonor, respectively, received 40 channels of sound from the remote control via reac and monitoring without bothering, outputting to the built-in sound and several others  personal monitoring devices (usb-connected external sound cards and remote control).  Since the update on cwbl, problems have begun.  The first - not terrible cwbl flatly refused to somehow interact with the m480 - that is, I lost the ability to move the fader and all sorts of small things like the equalizer of the compressor and other things.  The remote control is always at hand and all that is needed. I am doing it on it without duplicating the same thing in the program, although earlier this possibility was and it was implemented wonderfully.  The second and main problem is that cwbl does not give me routing capabilities - and everything would be fine - (because the route settings for some unknown reason did not go wrong and lasted at least a couple of years before today's update) the audio engine fell off or crashed when  recordings, or for some unknown reason, ate all the memory, the Russian language ceased to perceive, the plug-in settings got lost, the MIDI fell off, it was impossible to assign an exit to the master - but it was somehow bearable - they would blow a new one, add it, exclude it  they still add, etc. - I was looking for excuses and tried to endure - because  The sonor product was made by my compatriot and was extremely excellent - I believed in our developers.  Now I understand clearly (maybe I'm wrong) the cwbl project is clearly far from the product under the name sonor and this project is not led by a Russian developer, because  functions are limited, opportunities are limited, support is canceled, and the most unpleasant thing - the attitude towards the user - forces you to upgrade Windows to 8k or 10k - this is the strategy of planned obsolescence - pure water capitalism based on endless absorption and the need to absorb further in order to absorb and enrich.  Today I’ve updated - I lost my route and cwbl refuses to assign different devices to the inputs and outputs.  Moreover, after updating, he suggested updating again and said that for the next update you need to put 8 ku or 10tku windows.
     Yes, I had the opportunity to upgrade to another version of Windows for free earlier - but why do I need such problems - update the OS on a perfectly working solution in a recording studio?  - I didn’t update - why do I need a raw unfinished sorry for floating in a faience friend, constantly asking for some updates - an absolutely uncontrolled inhibitory something as an operating system?  - I, as an absolutely adequate rational person - still do not see the real need to update Windows - only forced.

     The reason why cwbl was updated today is simple - the master bus muted error got out again since  he does not have an output device.  I need to record and I have such a hat.  the reac panel was also not called from the button inside the program settings.  it was not possible to do anything.  Needless to say that my experience: administering systems, databases, servers, platforms for up to 500 machines, writing all kinds of client-server applications, crutches for programs, modules, functions, and completely adapting 1ski to the specific needs of the company I worked for did not help me  .  Like today I just did not dance with a tambourine.  What I just did not do on the unlocked Windows in the developer environment - cwbl did not see the devices.  To be honest, I'm tired of all the problems that I have had since the update.  I really want a stable system - just this one - it is thought out, an intuitive and convenient interface, adequacy and flexibility in management - and just a huge force of habit.  Please allow further switching between different interfaces and input / output devices.  Today I don’t need an external audio card - I have two 1608 digital multicores and a remote control - so even I can’t connect them as separate devices and patch the ports as I need.  although earlier in sonar this possibility was also connected to 3 input devices (2 multicore and remote control by turn), 2 of them were also connected to the output (twisted through the switch) and in parallel the master went to the built-in and on-line USB6 card.  I don’t ask much - after all, there was functionality.

    URGENT HELP - jBridged plugins vanished: Uptate - workaround found

    I’m glad this is fixed. Just last week I decided to get organized and move plugins to-

    common.......

    vst2

    vst3

    and vst32.  
     

    Fortunately I hadn’t started moving any plug-ins the VST32 yet lol. Squashed the bug before I even got there!  I LOVE all the bug squashing that has been going on!  
     

    Cakewalk user base WILL grow because of this dedication. 

    Thanks for pre-squashing the bug!

    Thanks for Emvoice-one. I wish the price wasn’t so high!  I guess I could get a few more notes with some pitch software. I it is weird about the internet connection/cloud based stuff. I will say it sounds really good.  Thanks for a great thread. 

    Look for SSD 2TB

    Not sure just  guessing - 3,500MB/s and 2,500MB/s,  VS 500 It should make quite a difference if you got an extra 600 laying around!

    Will that Samsung 970 EVO SSD 2TB - M.2 NVMe plug into a sata III connection on an older computer?

    I'm setting up a second drive to run win10 on.  I'm going to do a dual boot for a while.

    Looking at Seagate 

    https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-BarraCuda-Internal-Solid-State/dp/B07T87W4CP/ref=sr_1_4?crid=15J0WOKG5T0PF&keywords=seagate+ssd+2tb+internal&qid=1579497906&sprefix=seagate+ssd+2tb+%2Caps%2C188&sr=8-4

    and 

    Samsung

    https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Inch-Internal-MZ-76E2T0B-AM/dp/B0786QNSBD/ref=sr_1_3?crid=3D9W8T5EH36A2&keywords=ssd+2tb+internal+samsung&qid=1579497957&sprefix=ssd+2tb+internal%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-3

     

    Can't seem to find any data in read /  write speed for these.

    My Barracudas will sustain 185-201 read/write combinations depending on the file size.

     

    Or is there another 2TB  you would recommend?

    ( Putting this drive in an older i7 Studio Cat DAW)

     

    Thanks,

    Very nice.  Sounds like you are in the near finished state.  Sometime I set a song down - 2-3 weeks.  One listen after that -  I catch the final tweeks.
