+1 especially now when there are things like nob controller.

I think its strange I get crackles all the time otherwise no? I was under 5us for some time and still I get crackles. Yes I run at the same time.
I haven't ruled out it fully maybe something I'm missing.

if the duration of one sample buffer is only 0.67 ms, with the CPU usage simulator pegged at 80% the processing leeway is only about 130 microseconds. so your system would need to have very stable, very low DPC latencies to not exhibit glitches.

don't forget that the DPC latencies can stack. for ...

Show me where I made personal attacks? You are the rude one, keeps telling my lack of understanding.

oh, right, am i meant to pretend that you do understand?


Yes Ive run a dpc meter test and I have no problem running audio. Max out at 200us after long time running.


huh? this whole thread ...

The crackles is not in the recording only in the monitoring. What did I just write about ...

Do you understand that using hardware will add even more latency going to the input ad? I use both hardware and plugins, I can take advantage of the uad console for the output latency though. But Im not here asking help for setting things up.

Again look at my original question if you can't answer ...

I understand all this very clearly it's you that don't understand this maybe you will some day. Now at least you found the cpu usage simulator.

Yes it will be completely different between system thats why Im asking. I was just curious about how high people could go since it tells me something ...

Unbelievable really. I don't expect to get any answers at this point. I've moved on so this thread can be closed.
I am done talking to hurt egos that think they know much more about things than they actually do.

Just for the record before I overclocked my system was much worse and Ive build ...

My output latency at 128 samples and 44.1khz is 3.38ms in my setup. I can detect the latency clearly. Play a hardware minimoog directly to the speakers and then play a soft synth at that setting. Ask a concert pianist if he likes to play at that latency.

I don't need any math lesson but thanks ...

I think my question is pretty clear. Im the one that was rude, really? Maybe read the answers again to my simple question.

sorry, waste of time. too many variables.

what do you mean by "CPU usage" anyway? are you referring to Live's CPU load meter? do you understand what that tells you?

Best ...

Yes it will be completely different between system thats why Im asking. I was just curious about how high people could go since it tells me something about the quality of your audio drivers and system and how it compares to my system, no?

It seem people mistake me for a noob looking at my post ...

Best forum ever. Learn how the test tone and cpu usage simulator works its in the manual..

This is not a question about how many channels or plugins you can use. I want to know how good your audio driver and system is since I think I might have problem with my new Apollo x6. So its the cpu usage before crackling thats interesting.

It takes a couple of seconds to do the test. There is ...

Or asking for each persons system?

How do you mean wanting this help? Ok I changed the question a little hopefully its more clear

I have a couple of questions about your systems and cpu limit before running into problem.

1. How high CPU usage can you go at 96khz 64 buffer with the cpu usage simulator and the test tone in ableton audio setup before crackles?
2. What soundcard are you using?
3. Mac or Pc?
