  • X3: Glitchy sound / CPU overload when tweaking a vst knob with a mouse (p.5)

I think I have resolved the mouse issue.  Just curious any of you out there having problems with fader and control knobs, are you using a laser mouse, or other high DPI mouse?
 
On my other thread someone suggested that mice like this, especially gaming mice have problems because they typically report position data back to the OS up to 10 times more than a typical optical mouse.  I switched it out for an old Microsoft blu track optical mouse and Voila! no problems with the faders and knobs.
 
Now I had my Logitech M510 for years and it worked fine in 8.5, X1 and X2, and only seems to have this problem in X3.  Hopefully this will give the developers some insight!

Hi,
Would like to weigh in on the debate. My"glitch" has to do with "ANY" mouse movement at all in the track pane on playback. 
No amount of buffer or tweaking can prevent it. Was using Logitech cordless laser mouse & tried same brand usb....still get audio skip.
Any ideas appreciated.........where's my crappy old MS mouse gone?
KInd regards
Jinxy

Hi all, a similar reply i posted on another thread with regards to a similar issue.

ok this is what i have found... 
 
i believe this has nothing to do with the issues of gaming mices. In the offending Project i opened, every time the mouse moves over the clips area and tracks area these clicks and pops occur. HOWEVER, this occurs ONLY when ProChannel is expanded. if ProChannel is closed and yet remains active (or ProChannel is disabled expanded or not does not matter), moving the mouse over any area of Sonar and or out of Sonar playback will be as smooth as can be.  
 
again the clicks and pops issue occur on different projects and it doesnt seem to be related to anything specific. This offending project has only 1 instance of Kontakt, 3 instruments loaded and 2 bus outs. On other bigger projects, with up to 7 bus outs, multiple Kontakts instances + others, i have not experienced similar issues.  All my previous projects were created with X1d.

hope this help guys...

cheers!!!

We got to get some resolution on this. Could it be caused by graphics-card drivers or IRQ conflicts? As in my other thread I started, I get severe driver latencies ONLY when the MultiDock is maximized to fit the screen and the mouse is moved around with something grabbed (e.g. MIDI notes in the PRV, clips, etc.). This is some weird stuff!

YES KEYZ... In the offending Project i opened, every time the mouse moves over the clips area and tracks area these clicks and pops occur.
 
One project that is playing up only has 4 audio tks with very little else...does EXACTLY that.
 
Trying drivers etc with no luck...Pro Channel not on.
 
Here's a kicker...I opened the Sonar demo file...playing as we speak & can't get it to skip a beat..pardon the pun.
 
VERY FFRUSTRATING.....was running fine then this. ANYONE HELP???????

fyi, it appears X1c has fixed the audio glitches I was getting when moving faders and knobs in Addictive Keys and Breverb. And on my system at least, generally better stability with high CPU loads. Hope other people get lucky too.

Thanks for the bump on this. I forgot to update as well. The TAL plugins issue should be resolved as well.
