at 2ms latency each instance of LM uses approx 3% CPU, in reaper approx .8%
at 4ms each uses 1-2.5% in sonar, .57% in reaper.

What are you using to measure that? Hopefully the same tool otherwise the comparison isn't too meaningful.

the cpu indicator in each app. basically, i did nothing more than open a blank project, add 8 tracks, put an instance of LM in each, and turn on input monitoring on all tracks. used the same latency for each. reaper actually gives the total cpu, the total cpu used by FX, the total CPU for FX on each track. for sonar, i just took the total, deducted the CPU before any FX (minimal), and then divided by 8 to get each track.

Retest using task manager's performance tab.

will try this too when I get home.

I have had the LM for about 5 months now and I love it too. Are you getting any CPU spikes when you open a project with LM plugins saved in it?

task mgr confirms the roughly 2.5x increase in cpu with sonar vs reaper. this is with 64 bit, and dither off in sonar and 24 bit resolution for both. same sample rates, multiproc on on sonar.

i love it too, sounds great. i only got it thurs night last week, so i dont have any saved projects yet. just been messing with it.

Mine hasn't arrived yet but I've already downloaded the latest driver v2.0.49(rc1) and the first release note says: "Fixed some crashes with reloading sessions in Sonar." Hmm, it also says basically the same thing in the first release note for the previous driver though, so I don't know.. [sm=rolleyes.gif]

dstrenz can you point me to that please?

I am having trouvle finding it on their site


Thanks

Andy

i must say focusrite support is extremely responsive and very helpful

agreed on focusrite support

Sure, it's here: http://www.focusrite.com/product/liquid_mix/downloads/

About half-way down the page: LiquidMixWebSetup-2.0rc1.zip (size: 7.11mb). The release notes quoted above are in the "READ ME FIRST.rtf" file in the zip.

edit: BTW, there's an updated emulation library dl further down the page. It's a hefty 191mb and isn't dated or versioned. I dl'd it and the files inside the zip are dated 11/14/2006. So, you can determine for yourselves if you want or need to dl it based on the age of your units.

thanks for that




did you get your liquidmix yet?


I LOVE the distressor
