Has anyone put together a handy troubleshooting guide for Reaper that goes step by step and lists what to check, specifically when it comes to how REAPER interacts with the CPU, RAM, GPU, and Hard drive?
My problem is, I reset all of Reaper’s settings and now I’m getting some really odd behaviors. Last night I went to render out some tracks. With the project I’m using, usually it renders at 0.2-0.6x real-time. Last night the tracks screamed out of Reaper at 10-12x real time. Assuming something was off, I went back to make sure all the effects were on. I did nothing but click the FX button on each track just to make sure they were checked. Everything was fine so I re-rendered and hit the usual .5x rendering speed. I swear I changed nothing else.
Today I rendered out some tracks, and the speed was 1.8x. BUT, halfway through I noticed some of the graphical interfaces weren’t updating (specifically, only the first two track meters were updating, the rest were dark as if disabled, and also OakSound Soothe 2, an amazing plugin, wasn’t updating) so I stPopes the render, again checked to make sure hadn’t done something dumb and turned a plug-in off, then hit render again. Back to 0.5x render speed.
I haven’t changed anything else, literally just used Reapers reset function from the Windows menu, then after completing, loaded my last project.
Any help or pointing in a direction for research would be really appreciated. Thanks guys and Thanks for making such an amazing DAW! 64-bit floating point and seamless integration with 32 bit plugins had me sold from Day 1 of use
