  • Sync-ized Dim Strings - many more crackles than other libraries when using time stretch

    I discovered today that the Synchronized Dimension Strings put much more strain on the system than the other Synchron libraries I have (Strings Pro, Strings Elite, WW, sync-ized WW).  With the other libraries the time stretching is perfectly manageable but not so with dim strings.

    For example, I have two mics active for the flute and I can leave time stretching on and play fast stacc notes just fine (say, 1/16th at 120 bpm).  But the same line with two mics on in Dim strings is unplayable.  So it's the same number of mics playing - why would there be a huge difference in performance?

    There must be an option somewhere that I'm missing in the Dim library.

    Any ideas out there?

    Thanks,

  • Hello Richard, 

    For the Dimension Strings, each player also has a seperate reverberation (on each channel), and if you are using impulse responses, the CPU hit is quite high.

    Try with the non-convo mixer presets, that should work better. 

    Best,
