Jon White Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) In my projects using Kontakt instruments and Superior Drummer 3, I have click/pop issues now and then. One thing I tried today was to opt for Superior Drummer to use multiple cores (I set at two to start). The verdict is still out, but is this an overt conflict with having Cakewalk already using multiple cores? Also, I note that any other PC activity, such as just asking another program to start, destroys my audio engine performance, yet my Lynx audio card is on a separate IRQ from all others. Is it a matter of not IRQ but just pure processing scheduling that I'm up against? Thank you all. Always great responses here!

abacab Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Cakewalk may use multiple cores, but a virtual instrument typically only uses one core assigned, as the processing is serial, rather than parallel. To allow others to help you better, you may want to provide a bit more info about your hardware specs and settings. Clicks and pops can be due to a lot of things.

Jon White Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Thank you, Ab. I'll set it back and push on with troubleshooting my system. I DO have an old Quadcore system that I'm scared to upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
