I'm not so sure that I'm overloading my system, but I'm open to learning.
Using the Atmospheric>Liquid Orchestra 1 patch with 72 voices active across all 6 elements, the max single core CPU usage is only 33% according to HWmonitor. I understand it's an extremely complex patch, but it's happening on many others as well. Unloading elements doesn't get rid of the popping, even if I take it down to just a single active element.
Here's a link for the MIDI I'm using right now. I have Sonar's tempo set to 120 and I don't use a sustain pedal.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/l5qgcfloa2zclyj/test.mid?dl=0 What I don't understand is why I have to increase my audio buffer
so much, and why RPro
is the only plugin I have that gives me this issue (specifically the RPro library sounds, not the legacy sounds). Especially considering that I've got other synths that
will overload my CPU which work fine at low buffer settings (no pops).
At this point I've done an entire system wipe and reinstall of everything using CCC. I only have RPro installed so that there is no conflict with RSession or the two legacy synths.
It's disappointing because I really wanted to like RPro. If I'd paid the full retail price I would probably be asking for a refund. Kontakt or Omnisphere are looking like they might be a better investment at this point.
