And, when I am at the computer, I'm usually limited in time to explore and fine-tune, etc. LOL! In other words, it may be a day or two or three before I get myself back to the computer to trial different settings and work on projects. Part of my problem is that (this is going to sound "whiney") I'm a "Hobbyist". I thank you in advance for your thoughtful insights, comments and/or suggestions.įirst, thank you for your time and thoughtful input. I'm hoping that I can FINALLY configure EVERYTHING together so that I have one humming set-up using DP 8.01. In addition to all of this, I have two MOTU 2408 MK3 devices connected to their PCIe card. All eight of my (Early 2009) MacPro's cores along with its 32 GBs of RAM are available to be utilized. My computer configuration is noted below. What are YOUR settings for both programs? Any ideas to how I can optimize either or both Bidule and DP 8.01 to work together and not experience any artifact? What is "FFT" as found within Bidule's Preferences? How should "FFT" be configured for a relatively heavy-duty VI set-up? When working with Bidule, is there something that I should be doing with either Kontakt and/or Aria in terms of configuration? Does the current version of ReWire found within Bidule use all available cores within a multi-core computer?Įverything is in 64-bit mode. My questions for those of you who use Bidule and DP 8.01: So, I know that when loading up less VIs within Bidule, no issues seem to exist when ReWired with DP 8.01!! (I see hope!!) Note that for a smaller-sized set-up of 24 virtual instruments within Bidule (using Kontakt 4 and Aria), I experience NO audio artifacts with current settings for both programs. To be honest, I am not even sure if Bidule can handle a set-up like the one I'm describing. I am sure that most of my issues are "User Caused" somehow. I am not an expert to both DP (any version) and Progue's Bidule. Continuing with Bidule, I have its "ReWire" preferences configured as follows: "Enable ReWire Mixer" is checked "ReWire Stereo Channels" is checked ReWire MIDI Ports = 8 "ReWire Channels = 96 and, "ReWire device always use adapter" is checked. When it's not in ReWire Mode, Bidule is configured to the following: Buffer size = 128 FFT size = 512 FFT overlap = 8 and I currently have checked "Higher Precision FFT". For Bidule, because it's used in "ReWire Mode", I don't seem to be able to configure the buffer size. For DP 8.01, I have the buffer set to 128. Unfortunately, I am hearing slight artifact (faint crackling sounds) as if the CPU might be working over-time with my current settings for both DP 8.01 and Bidule. With this set-up, DP 8.01 handles smoothly. This is in addition to the 18 instruments loaded into Kontakt 4. Included in this set up are two instances of the Aria engine for a total of 32 stereo VIs from Aria. There are a total of 50 instruments (to make up my "virtual orchestral") using a little over 8 GBs of RAM (that I can tell) within Bidule. I'm using a combination of Kontakt 4-powered instruments (mostly Kirk Hunter stuff) and Aria-powered stuff (Garritan instruments). But I experience none of the issues (graphic issues, system overload issues, etc.) that I do when I solely use DP 8.01.Ī couple of days ago, I REALLY, REALLY loaded up Progue's Bidule with lots and lots of orchestral VIs. HOWEVER, when I load up Progue's Bidule with greater than 4 GBs of VIs, stability exists! I can't explain why. Although better than the 8.0 version, it seems that I'm still experiencing stability problems with DP 8.01 when I use it by itself. As mentioned in other posts, my goal for DP 8.01 is to load it up with orchestral VIs (which takes my much RAM) and use only the program and my one computer (noted below).
