(I’m not sure if I should have posted this question in the ‘issues’ section, because this problem is probably not related to cubase itself.)
I’m glad to have Cubase pro 8, but I’m encountering problems when I use VST instruments. Specifically, when I use the plugin Mural Strings, I play the violin with buffer size of 64 (with 48 it’s worse) and the real-time peak meter jumps to 100% and I hear clicks (with only one instrument)
When I use Berlin Woodinwds for example, it jumps to 50%. I will be happy to provide any information about my setup.
It’s a new system (i7 5820k, 32gb ddr4, ssd 250gb) and RME Babyface.
Honestly my situation doesn’t seem to be so acute, but still I was hoping to get better performance with a new pc and the latest DAW.
So there is nothing I can do except for wait for another cubase update? How can I determine whether I exploit the full potentienl of my system? Bigboy, what did you do?
task manager, check idle cpu. should be around 2 percent with all programs closed.
then fire up latencymon and you can see if any background tasks are running too much…
turn off virus suite if any
honestly i think asking for 48 setting is too much… I dont get low settings either, most people use 512 even for live… Daw is not technically made for ultra low latency, at least not cubase.
On my setup I didn’t get good performance into the VST performance meter until I
1-turn off CPU EIST Function in BIOS
2-turn off CPU Turbo
both these things will cause your CPU to jump around like a jumping bean
