breverb kill sound just with is UI

Hmm, might be a bug then. Does this also happen with Breverb inserted as the only plugin in your project? Do you have any software instruments going as well?

ok

first of all today i will check my HD
then i will make space on it

this it the next try...

without is unusefull to try other stuff..

[carlocki]

hard disk is ok now i have 40 Gb of 150 free

this evening i will try to monitoring activation of vst and cpu usage by images.

this on reaper32

[carlocki]

now it works
not perfect (some little glitches using for example safari as browser...§)
but is ok

tonight better test

The first thing to do before starting any audio work should be to close all other applications.

[carlocki]

after some test is seems that reaper32 is better and the only problem is too high cpu usage de-freezing breverb

let me chack better but now except from breverb everything goes

[carlocki]

tested

I can only record two guitars track and one backing track, but two guitar track with different amplifier on chains
1)
any added track put system in sound glicthiness
2)
I cannot use two instances of Lepou Le 456
togheter the system go into real panic
3)
I am free to choose the chain but breverb seems only to be to heavy for the cpu
You can use it accepting a good compromise between glitch and smooth sound
limit is always 2 track
conclusion
anwway breverb reduces performance but 2 instances of lepou kill it
I just record one guitar with lepou stuff and another with ignite amps (plus playing with breverb after adjusting reverbs)

the mixing is good i hope to let you enjoy it

for me problem is solved

Is a problem linked to cpu limit

no audio card issue
no reaper settings

even if i can tweak with vst usage in reaper preferences but I don't know how to do

so if there is a bug is about Lepou stuff and maybe Overloud Breverb stuff (and voxengo too)

cheers


next test with voxengo stuff...

[carlocki]

after ton of test i can says: impossible to mixing with reaper 4.10 on a mac book pro 2008
now i have to choose if to trade this one with a new mac: so help me to identify one
or better to rest in peace with my mixing ambitions...

looking for comment

Ah, this is good to learn. I was just gonna write you: My old 2008 MacBook Pro with 3GB Ram (like yours) works like a breeze! Much, much better than expected. I thought I could savely work with, say, 8 to 10 Tracks with EFX on while mixing.

It turns out - with a little bit of careful planning - I can work with 16, 18 tracks and have no trouble. So, there must have been a real prob with your system setup. Now ... enjoy Reaper! :-)

Yours,
HeyJoe
