    Hi,

    I am having issues with notes dropping out during playback using VI Pro and VEP7.

    The problem occurs with VI Pro on its own, but is significantly worse while using VEP7, to the point that it is extremely difficult to compose while using VEP so will probably ditch using it for VSL instruments.

    My CPU and HD meters have plenty of headroom, and the voices bar is going red and notes are dropping out, despite being nowhere near the maximum amount of voices. I have experimented with the various settings in VI Pro (streaming threads, allocated voices) and nothing seems to prevent this from happening.

    Computer is iMac Pro 8 core, samples are streaming from Lacie Bolt 3 SSD. My orchestral tempate is based around Dimension Strings. In Logic X.

    I have 6gig of ram unused so I doubt that is the issue.

    If you are using only one intrument per instence, make sure the thread setting in VEP is set to 1.

    Thanks Ben,

    The thread setting is in deed set to 1 in VEP. I have just pulled my DS template out of VEP and back into Logic, which has slightly improved performance and also freed up about 2 gigs of RAM. There are still a lot of dropped notes, however, which is making composing difficult as I cannot hear the notes when writing a fast passage or for a large ensemble. I can't figure out where the bottleneck is.

    Hey there,
    Have you found a answer to your problem? I seem to have the same. It's mainly the first note of a new instrument that causes a dropout in my case, though.

     

    Thanks

    Hi No solution I'm afraid, which is extremely annoying. The only workaround I have come up with is to use bounce-in-place for each line when I want to audition it. Mixing correctly in real time isn't possible.

    I have this exact same problem too.

    Hi antcarrier and all,

    This actually looks like a streaming issue to me - have you tried to raise the Preload Size for the affected instruments in Directory Manager?

    Best, Marnix
