Few things with ASIO:
Yes crackles are actually there after choosing new buffer. But reopening the driver didn't instantly help. I had to use a greater buffersize with my setup first to get rid of them, then I could change back to the initially used less buffering - strange. In all I have to go with 6ms latency minimum (better 12ms) now in a heavy loaded set with the multiface.
Still, or again, a released ASIO driver, will not be reclaimed by LIVE. I have to close an reload it in audio-options. Wasn't this differnt in beta1? Anyway, neither Steinberg nor N-I products, wich I use mainly besides LIVE show this behaviour on my system. Hmm, maybe this will be possibly fixed in a future patch?
Other, non ASIO related: I didn't check this out with an extra setup, but in two stes of mine there seem to occure slight tempo glitches at the end of longer loops, but this could be related to my slappy warping, and to your warp-engine now working more smooth and precise, wich made me noticing.
An overall impression is, that with beta3 cpu-load went up again (about 10%) im comparision with beta2 and especially beta1 with identically sets (proof me wrong, I'd be happy!). But load of an empty set is still very low ('bout 2%). And now I can reach higher values in load (up to 75%) without any distortions.
Yes, and the reverb you seem to be so proud of, it's a real cpu-hog (up to 20%). But, even that I didn't check it out completly, I have to state it is sounding great and has some unique features to it, that deliver nice colors to my sound. You must have build that with monolake and basic channel/rythm&sound in mind.
A great, great piece of work. Everything else I could check was running more smooth, more stable (under heavy cpu-load too). All in all it's matured now, isn't it. Hope you all get loads of sleep soon. And could you then please go out and convince N-I to implement ReWire
Thank You!
