[Solved] CPU anomaly
My spec is posted in my signature. Latest drivers for everything. I have a project at 44.1k 16 bit. 64 bit processing off, as it seemed even worse. 30 audio tracks, 1 soft synth with 12 tracks (SSD 4), 12 busses, and all my usual plugs. Here's a pic of the Sonar CPU/cores and the resource monitor, as well as UAD, which isn't near topping out. If I don't set latency to 2048, project will not run. Is there a CPU percentage that you can kind of figure this will tend to rear it's head? Is there anything I should be looking at as possible culprits? If I missed any pertinent info, I apologize. Thanks! Audio drive is 40%, defragged and Seagate Barracuda sata 3 7200rpm.   " />

I disabled all plugins. CPU only showing a blip on 1st core in Sonar. I still can't play the soft synth (even stopped) without audio cracks/pops at 256 samples. I also tried setting a 256 read cache to no avail.

I don't use SSD but I noticed it can be setup to stream samples. I would disable sample streaming and see if it helps.

Quit dropbox for starters. If you are running a Samsung SSD recommend downloading Magician as well. Also temp disable antivirus? Have you set min/max CPU to 100 in windows power management? Edited the config file in Sonar preferences for the CPU type? Can you download latest latencymon, post a screenshot of the drivers tab sorted in order of dpc latency?

Thanks to both for advice. I did all  " />the above. I do turn antivirus off when I'm working. I took every plug out of SPLAT and deleted all tracks except SSD 4. Still static at 256 samples.

I just crashed. system32 mscvr120.dll. C++ for Visual Studio driver. No clue. Hey scook,it was disabled. I set it to stream and was able to down to 512. Nowhere near being able to play accuaretly. I used to bew able to run a load of stuff at 32samples while playing a soft synth. No clue where this went south.

Yes. By turning off streaming, synths load all the samples into memory rather than streaming them from disk while the project is playing. The reason to use streaming is when there is not enough memory to load all the samples. Streaming also should result in projects loading faster because the samples are not loaded until they are needed. On the other hand, loading all the samples at once into memory reduces disk reads while the project is playing.

Oddly, it works better with streaming than in memory. There's only 280MB of samples used. 128 just drops out altogether. System restore, maybe?

IDK, I have no experience with Slate. I know there are others here that do.

I'm thinking this is much deeper than SSD4. It's not caused me problems for years.
I thought I'd restore to a point I was certain things were solid. There is only 1 restore point from 2 days ago. I know I created a half dozen in the last month. And there should be the ones from updates, right?

Depends, updates of what? I have no idea how your PC is setup.

What version of windows, when was the last time you ran windows update, did you install the optional updates? (if not windows 10). Here are the latest C++ libraries to install (containing mscvr120.dll), Win 8.1 and below: https://www.microsoft.com/en-GB/download/details.aspx?id=40784 Run windows update afterwards...

Looked at the image above. Sorry to blurry and not sorted by DPC count. Thanks.

I got the Windows update for repair of updating to W10 today. it worked!! And with it came more great news - my SPLAT is BACK! Totally blazing. Same project now runs at 64 samples like the wind. W 10 runs very well, too I might add. Thank you Windows 10, Cakewalk, and my friends at this forum!

Can you elaborate on what this is? I'm not on Windows 10 yet.

Please update your .sig. this thread reads read like you are running Win10 but your .sig says you are using Win7. Makes it hard to help.

I was finally able to update this afternoon. There was a Windows update that said it may help some people whose W10 update failed steadily. it worked for me.
