I actually leave the delay compensation on. I just thought I would run that past you. Is there a way to tell how much delay there is on the other VSTs? I would like to quantify it so we could compare real numbers instead of subjective interpretations of the delay. I wonder if we are indeed experiencing the same delay and it just bothers you more. That may very well be the case, but I would still nonetheless like to quantify it to be sure.

Regards,
Adam



That's a great question Adam. I don't know of a way to measure the latency we each get for OTHER instruments loaded while VirusVST is loaded...

However, here's one thing I can tell from your response: It sounds like even though the latency you see on other instruments is small and doesn't bother you, you notice that there's SOME delay compared to when VirusVST isn't loaded.

I can tell you that that's enough to annoy me: Just being able to feel that something's not near-instant. We all spend a ton of money on our audio-cards to get VERY low-latency, and anything that is perceptable we just don't accept. It's sort of ridiculous that we pay a ton for our audio-cards, then buy a VERY expensive synth (TI) that completely busts the low latency that we have when playing our other VSTs. At least that's my opinion.

Agreed. I was also able to replicate latency using my Virus TI and Vanguard, z3ta+, and RP Albino3 (the only 3 I experimented with). The latency when playing is just enough to be annoying, but can also throw off quantization on fast-moving passages. I also wonder if there are any differences in latency associated with the desktop vs the keyboard versions of the TI. This would probably be impossible to determine without one of each to compare side-by-side on the same system. Just curious Ido - which version of the TI are you using? I know Adam is using the desktop version and I have a Polar, which I use as my controller.

I don't know if this might help, but I have been trying different configurations to manage the lowest latecy and this is what at least works for me fine:

- Set up the Virus TI as main soundcard with all your softsyths routing though it and problem sorted, with this config im not gettting latency or crakles. I have only tried with 3 softsynths at the time (kontakt 2, Trilogy and the TI control).

Regards to all.

Anyone have any updates for this? Has anyone been able to resolve the delay issues? I recently set the ASIO driver down to 2-3 ms, and so far so good.

Has anyone tried out the new Virus TI OS 2.5?

yes, i am
more click&pops, glitches and still impossible bounce to track or mixdown.

Awesome.

Wow! I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread. I was planning on selling my Virus C and getting a new Virus TI because of the DAW integration. Now, I think I'll spend that money on a coupe of kick-ass monitors instead.

No bounce/mixdown here either , but I'm not experiencing any clicks/pops/glitches. Keep in mind that this is just a public beta release - at the very least, it indicates that the Access folks have finally opened their eyes to the importance of supporting Sonar. That's a huge and reassuring step in the right direction. We just need to make sure that we keep Access and Cakewalk informed so they can get this working.

Question - are you guys uninstalling the old version before installing the beta OS? I did not and I'm wondering if that's the problem. I noticed this morning on the Unofficial Access forums that some users were having problems because they also did not uninstall the old version, so I'm going to try that this evening. Fingers crossed.

Adam - have you installed it yet?

hi awiki01,

in response to your post about using the SPDIF audio of the 0404... which did you select as the audio track's input in sonar? i cannot find the emu spdif in the list of inputs?
