  • VEP 7 Very Sluggish UI

    Hi - 

    Does anyone know what might be going on here, please...?

    With multiple instance tabs running and a bunch of VI's (mainly Kontakt), drop-downs across VEP (e.g changing output channels on mixer tracks, or changing Kontakt midi channels for instance) become very slow, taking a few seconds to respond and update when you click or move.

    Things of note:
    + When the server project is loaded without being connected to DAW it is not slow to respond. It is only sluggish when there is an active connection to the DAW.
    + In other Windows apps, it is not slow when clicking around and doing stuff
    + CPU utilisation is around 35% (41% when playing)
    + Disk and network utilisation low
    + I've tried putting default thread count in VEP to 1, 2, and 8. No Difference. I've tried setting Kontakt to multi-core and note multi-core. No difference. 
    + No audio drop-outs are happening. It's just insanely slow and frustrating when trying to do any config. 
    + I am working via Remote Desktop Connection from Mac to PC. Use Hardware Acceleration for graphics is turned on. And in Device Manager on the PC it appears to be using the NVIDIA graphics card, not a virtual one for RDC.

    Any ideas, please?

    Thanks!

  • Also probably worth observing...

    The UI is only sluggish when the DAW is connected to the instances. When the preserved instances are disconnected the UI is as fast as normal.

    Anyone got any clues please? Something is bringing VEP to a crawl and I can't figure out how to fix it. Thanks!
