DSP very hight

[frascal]

Hello,

I work whith mixbus 32 c and my dsp is more than 90 %. (I hear some ccrackles)

My buffer size is to 2048 samples

Hardware input latency:1
Hardware output latency:1

Maybe i need to change this values ?

In my session I have just (on the master): amek eq 200, elysia alpha master, spl iron and one brickwall . No plug in the track (it's mastering session).

I don't understand because sometimes in other session i have more plugins and my dsp work well (50%).

My pc: intel Core i7-6700k CPU
4.00 Ghz
ram: 16 Go

thanks

Save the session and then remove them all temporarily (maybe even one at a time...)  Does that put the DSP reading back to normal?

Hi John,
When i remove the plugins my dsp done 24%. The eq amek need 30%.
But, 24% with no effect, just 12 tracks seems a lot ?

When you turn off plugins in mixbuss they continue to consume resources, it's strange ?

[johne53]

I must admit, 24% does seem high for what's essentially an empty session (plugin wise....) Are you working at a very high sample rate?

Also - are you using your computer's onboard sound device or a specialized sound card?

If you've got a specialized card, check its Control Panel to make sure it's also giving you the correct buffer size of 2048. Earlier versions of Mixbus could set the card to a different buffer size but that's been fixed in version 7.

And if all else fails, download and install the Jack backend - and see if using Jack might help.

Thanks for your help John.

I am allways working on 44100/16 bits.

I use a sound card rme fireface 802 and on a control panel of my card it's 2048.

I'll try to test Jack.

Do you think i have less probleme with mixbus 7 ?

I have found that some plugs, especially PA plugs, "hold" the DSP, even affecting it when bypassed. I use a wrapper for such situations, and find it often helps. This is what I use. It's incredibly useful and forces bypass on plugins that "cling" to DSP. Also allows parallel processing chains and oversampling of any plugin. Highly recommended, it's donationware for $2.

Oops - if you're using an earlier version it might not even work with Jack 

[frascal]

No, it'l all right I dowloaded the last version.

But I haven't the time to taste with mixbus 7 because I have to travel for my job.

Hello,
I installed mixbus v7 and now I have a message in red in the console: [ERROR]: Butler read ahead failure on dstream auditioner
And what do the numbers in parentheses mean after dsp
thanks

And what do the numbers in parentheses mean after dsp

Weirdly, my Mixbus system has booted up this morning without any mouse pointer visible - so from memory... I think the number in parenthesis might be the number of xruns detected. You can reset it to zero somehow - maybe by just clicking on it or possibly it's right-clicking.

Regarding the red error message, did you only see it once or is it happening regularly? If it's an ongoing error you;ll probably need to report it to Mixbus support.
