I’ve recently started up my music hobby again and have been working on a new track which I’ll link to shortly.
I’m running Renoise 2.1 (I can upgrade to 2.2 with my current license but might just upgrade to 2.7 anyway) and am having serious issues with a VST called “Synful Orchestra”.
The sounds this VST can create are nothing short of a miracle, however without the masking done by a drum beat and other sounds, it has occasional audible pops and clicks.
I’ve switched to using ASIO4All drivers (was using DirectX) and this seems to have helped reduce the amount of artifacts but they are still present.
It sounds like when the CPU is overloaded, but I’m at around 17-20% CPU average so it’s not that (AMD PhenomII X4 955).
I’ve played with latency/sample size settings but this hasn’t really helped - any ideas?
Finally, have there been any bugfixes regarding VSTs between 2.1 and 2.7 which may explain this issue?
A single track, and I believe many VSTs, can only be processed on a single core. So pushing 20% of total could well be getting close to maximum on one core. Have you checked Task Manager while this is happening?
Hi and thanks for the response.
No, it’s not overloading any cores - I just checked and it looks like the attached while playing the song in question.
It’s a shame this artifacts are occurring because it’s making me think twice about purchasing what is otherwise an excellent VST (running it in trial ATM).
