When i run a Renoise song, with some plugins, not many. Everything always starts to lag. When I tab to a different track, or try to type a note, it takes a second or so… I run it on a pretty heavy machine, with not much more on it then Renoise, and Renoise is the only active program. Renoise reports 15% processor use.
I only use samples, or round robin instruments with samples and some effect plugins, and 1 plugin to drive my midi card. But it also lags without that midi plugin.
Thanks for your quick reply, I can’t get it to lag with Renoise Native devices.
This afternoon I realized only the graphics lag but audio just runs fine. Since changing buffersize doesn’t change anything, I thought well maybe it’s an graphics thing then.
I’ve tested some more with only 1 sample and opened some plugins: The problems appear after opening SSL Flexverb or SSL Channel Strip 2. After opening and closing the GUI, the lagging begins. It’s just these 2 plugins in the project and 1 rimshot.
Opening Fabfilter ProQ2 doesn’t induce the lagging, so it seems.
I’ve updated my Intel Graphics drivers, but that didn’t help.
So you’ve found the culprit yourself, it’s the SSL plugins (seemingly in general). Of course they haven’t been tested in Renoise. In the end all you can do is to make sure you’re running the latest versions, and if nothing helps you should report the issue to SSL.
That’s the only way to react appropriately, because only SSL can fix it. You could update everything you can imagine and nothing would change, because your computer isn’t the culprit. Except your SSL stuff everything else works as expected, right? Did you read the link? You’re not the only one having troubles with SSL. Personally I would generally avoid using software made by Waves, SSL, NI and Arturia…
