Re: DAW Win 10 64 new installation, GLITCHES!

In this case, it's still recommended to limit TURBO states to the ones that include all cores rather than the higher TDP ones that focus on 1-2 cores, as was mentioned previously (or in another thread, I forget). I do this in the BIOS/EFI. However I do NOT eliminate any sleep states, as the Operatin...

Re: Reamp with Xite (solutions)

A passive DI box is also an acceptable re-amp device, and has other uses in the studio as well. When recording, you use the DI box as normal. To use it like like a re-amp box, you connect the DI box in reverse. Only passive DI boxes can be connected in reverse. The Radial JDI Passive DI Box can be a...

Re: DAW Win 10 64 new installation, GLITCHES!

As I mentioned, with modern OSes and CPU’s, the only thing I do is toggle the power profile to high performance before owning Scope. I can fully load all 26 DSPs across 3 cards with 100% stability. 2015 era quad core Xeon

Re: looking for beta testers for synthesizer app running in android os tablet

I'm on iPads here, though I do have 3-4 Fire tablets. Give me the min processor/GPU and I'll check the Android version that the FireOSes are built on and see if I can help.

Re: XITE-1 PC CONFIGURATION REFERENCE

Yes, for people who do mixing of mostly pre-recorded audio and thus a lot of (less cpu intensive than VSTi) insert effects, more cores may be better than faster cores. For people who prefer high end virtual instruments that do advanced synthesis (uHe for instance) algorithms and lots of circuit mode...

Re: XITE-1 PC CONFIGURATION REFERENCE

Disabling HPET in BIOS/EFI is the correct way, that would change the driver in Driver Manager as it switches everything to RTC (realtime clock) which is less interrupts/lower precision. Note this fix works simply reduces the number of calls that badly coded drivers make, and mostly applies to hardwa...

Re: XITE-1 PC CONFIGURATION REFERENCE

You can try the HPET to RTC trick in your EFI/BIOS, but most likely another driver is hogging too much time in the background

Re: PCI SLOTS Motherboards

PCI bridge chips have plenty of bandwidth, it’s going to be down to the motherboard maker implementing it properly. Since our DSP chips are far from the only timing critical implementation these boards will be used for, the workstation/embedded solutions would likely all work equally well for reason...

Re: PCI SLOTS Motherboards

Great.

The good thing about all of these boards (intended for industrial and workstation applications) is they tend to lack the gamer/home user additional onboard devices that can cause issues for us as Scope users.

I have some small crappy Pioneer 3" speakers I've had for 25 years now, they make great boombox/low end bluetooth references. I have some "Akai" crummy home speakers (used with an inexpensive rack amp) that handle the 'average home entertainment' reference fine. My TV has a soundar fo...

Re: Native Instruments Kontrol S61 vs. older Scope-Pulsar setup

If you route the keyboard through the DAW first (ie, connecting via USB) and then back out to the Scope software midi driver, things should work fine.

Re: Please choose: Sony MDR-7506 vs. Beyerdynamic DT770

There is no such thing, every generation of devices some new claim is made at being able to correct a room or emulate speakers. From impulse responses to crossover networks with feedback loops, they emulate the effects intended to some degree but also introduce new issues along with this. Headphones...
