thanks Paul.  Was just wondering.  I can live with it but it was a nice option to not have to switch between so many tabs.

bump

So many moons ago with a update the ability to add effects in the main window on the channels on the left seemed to have be removed.  I just now got around to asking about it.  Why?  I found that very useful and fast and never really switched into Mixer view to add effects but now I have too. Am I missing something and there is a preference somewhere?

Good information here.  http://kb.pert.geant.net/PERTKB/InterruptCoalescence

"While this scheme lowers interrupt-related system load significantly, it can have adverse effects on timing, and make TCP traffic more bursty or "clumpy"."

That's kind of what was happening to my network audio; it would sort of stutter and then "burst", and timing would be all off.  It's weird that at 1 buffer in VE Pro it would play fine.  I am guessing because the driver was giving higher priority to those packets, but of course it would freak out ASIO.  This was mainly on my master DAW.  I just turned it off on the slaves for good measure but could probably turn those back on as it started working with just Interupt Moderation off on the master DAW machine.

Also, forgot to say the issue I was experience didn't seem to be system specific as a newly built X79 system exhibited the exact behavior as previous x58 DAW, each with totally different components. I personally think it is somehow related to a change Steinberg did as at first the x58 machine ran fine for a year or so and then I think somewhere along the several Cubendo updates I gradually started noticing this spiking when running VE Pro.  Though maybe it could have been one of the VE Pro updates too since the behavior does change depending on the VE Pro buffer..  Who knows.

hmmm weird.  Works perfect here.  Network does cut out momentarily as it reinitializes, but all network functions seems to work just as before.  From what I understand, with Interupt Moderation on the driver attempts to optimize interupts which to me is a recipe for disaster; I'd rather the system manage everything.  Anyway, if your system works as is of course don't bother! I was more directing to people who were having similiar problems.  Here it made my system totally rock solid glitch free and I can go much lower in latency.  I am pretty happy.

So I have finally narrowed down some issues that have been outstanding on my rigs and thought this might be useful to others.  I had been having unexplained sporadic but frequent cpu spikes in Cubase/Nuendo for awhile but could never track down the exact cause after a lot of troubleshooting. My asio meters would bounce to extremes. Also occasional glitching in the network audio. Was very frustrating, when the system cpu was always normal and the machines checked out fine on all DPC latency tests.  VE Pro at 1 buffer would stream fine but the asio meter would spike more.  When at 2 buffers I would get less asio spikes but VE Pro streaming could get glitchy.  I tried all combinations of audio buffer and VE Pro buffers.  So that got me to thinking the issue was somehow related to the network card and some kind of priority issue.  I 

So as soon as I turned off Interupt Moderation in all my Intel and Realtek NEC's things were absolutely perfect!  It was enabled by default.  So simple!  I can now set my audio buffer down to 64 samples and VE Pro to 2 buffers and everything plays perfectly!  I will probably settle at 128.

So if anyone is having similiar issues go into your network Configure panel under Adavanced (Windows) and look for anything related to Interrupt Moderation and disable it; I set Interupt Moderation Rate to off as well.  Also a good idea to turn off any Green Ethnernet/energy saving options in the NEC too.

Hope that helps.

Do you have the sound library itself?  The software  is separate.  I think that library is like 80 gigabytes or something.

This is brilliant.  Honestly I had stopped using MIR awhile ago since it was so quirky using in a traditional mixing project.  Will definitely revisit it now.

Had already tried that but still didn't work.  thanks for the suggestion though.  I will figure it out.  More of a nuisance really.  I will try and connect them directly with a crossover cable.

Dedicated network here.  No, Gplayer here.  Will have to troubleshoot more.

Anybody ever get this resolved?  For a long time now my VE Pro 64 bit server doesn't show up in the list.  Using Nuendo 5.5 with the latest VE Pro with Windows 7 64bit on both machines.   Earlier on when VE Pro was released it seemed to work fine but hasn't in a long while.  I have tried fiddling with firewall settings, even turning it completely off, to no avail.  I pretty much have to key in the ip address of the server to connect to it.

Yeah, I could send you one.  Email it?  Or I could put it on my server.

thanks

Okay, did some testing with a fresh project and it seems to be working correctly now.  First I tried using the vst 2 versions of VE Pro and Audio Input.  Then the vst3 versions.  All worked correctly.  However, I am thinking it's related to the vst3 version.  Everytime I use that in association with MIR over a network, while at first things work fine, eventually over a few sessions I will get audio muting of MIR tracks in playback (I've reported this before in other threads) and also when adding another Audio Input audio playback will become garbled (never happens with the vst2 version).

Yes, I have the current version of VE Pro.  Latency compesation is checked in everything I can see.  One thing, in the Plugin Information in Nuendo each of the VSL plugins are listed with 0 latency.  I don't know if that's normal in this case.

So should the rendered audio with MIR/VE Pro be in time when placed back in the project??  I am trying to figure out if this is a bug, something wrong with my system or is intended behavior.  If it's the latter it's a pretty big showstopper for me.

thanks

So does MIR/VE Pro not properly compensate for latency in the host?  I am using Nuendo 5.5 here and it doesn't which is going to be a huge production pain in the ass.  I just did a test and exported a drum loop with MIR and without and the MIR effected track was delayed by the buffer and not correctly set in time.  This means I have to send every track in the project through MIR even if meant to be dry.  THe biggest issue is when recording.  I like to use asio direct monitoring when recording.  When I do this the track is in time with the other delayed MIR tracks but when I send to MIR it then is out of sync.  This means I will constantly have to manually correct timing on recorded tracks by the buffer amount.  Also, what if I chang the MIR Audio Input buffer or there are delay causing plugs inserted in the MIR project?  It will go out of sync again?  I could mix down a stereo mix and then record "live" but this still would cause the same problem since the rendered track is not synced as well.  Please tell me I am missing something?  I can only guess this is because the audio doesn't return from MIR on the source track and is "orphaned" coming back on a separate VE Pro track and Nuendo can't  calculate proper timing.

maybe they should rebrand Play as Played.

Yeah I posted about this bug a couple of months back.  Only affects Superior here; EzDrummer is fine.

Now that's what I call service!  Good work Karel.

It was C6 specifically.  I didn't try any others so it might be just that one I guess.

Like I mentioned in another thread, this exact thing happened to me.  Ended up being a problem with Waves plugins being loaded in MIR Pro.  Waves uses OpenGL I believe.  When I removed the offending Waves plugin, graphics went back to normal.  Problem only cropped up because I wanted to see how the new VE Pro handled Waveshell support.  Apparently not too well.

Have any Waves plugins loaded?  My MIR graphics went screwy, got crashes, and W7 complained of OpenGL errors when I had Waves loaded.  As soon as I removed the plugins things worked again.

You ever play VSL strings live?  They can sound quite synthy/jumpy too.  :-)  I thought those Adagio demos sounded quite amazing and quite expressive considering real time playing.

okay, at less than half the cost then.   :-)

I would say at almost 3 times less the cost and the only difference is the amount of channels I would say MIR pro is a little overpriced.

Bump.  No one else seeing this?
