CPU killer

Post by secretagentgel » Fri Mar 12, 2004 3:46 am

hey, im using the karlette delay on a send. when i first fire up ableton it's sitting comfortably at about 11% of my cpu. then i send something to the delay, let it run for a bit, and then dont send anything to it. after it settles back to no sound, it's starts eating up %35 of my cpu. as soon as i send it signal again, it drops back down.

im familiar with this from using buzz - it needs to be fed a "ghost" signal so it wont waste cycles looking for one.

does live have something that will fix this?

thanks,

corey

these are great suggestions, i'll try them. the disappointing thing is that i even HAVE to try to figure this out. maybe i'll talk to steinberg.

You could try placing Digital Fish Phones 'Normalizer' plugin infront of Karlette, then it will be fed with a very low level signal (eg say -190dB). As you can guess by the name it was written to combat denormalising, which caused CPU peaks with various plugins on the P4, or something.

Hope that helps anyway.
