Hello,

what is the lowest buffer you can achieve when using this plugin ?
I have a problem with this and I'm trying to find the cause ...

Thanks for the answers

Nobody ?

I have a serious performance problem, my template doesn't even have 100 tracks and is created from three instances of EW Opus, I use exclusively patches with keyswitches. if I record 3-4 tracks I get to the limit and have to increase the buffer to 1024 to continue working ... Hardware features of my computer you see below, I think they are pretty decent.

My question is whether Opus is really that terribly caustic, or if the problem is in S1, or somewhere else.

I would welcome any reasonable feedback.

Thanks

Have you tried Opus on win10 I'm a Mac user myself and have not see the problems using the default buffer settings. With your computer specs I'm surprised you're having these troubles.

And I do most of my work on a MacBook Pro 6 core with only 32gb although most of my projects are in the 50-60 range.

I did some testing last night with a 79 track project that I had setup for both EW Opus and Audio Imperia libs. What I found was with the same settings in Studio One buffers, dropout protection, samples reading from the same external SSD and using default settings for both Opus and Kontakt.

There were spikes showing up on the EW Opus version where the Audio Imperia version of the song had no spikes in performance.

My conclusion would be that the Opus playback engine is seriously lacking and still a year or more later needing optimization fixes.

Thank You, Bruce, I think the same, although I haven't done a similar test, I don't have another similar sample bank for comparison ...

EW sample banks worked best in the past under Kontakt, since they switched to their own sample players it's only gotten worse.

For the interest - I created a project consisting of 52 EW Opus instances, a separate instance for each instrument with all available articulations.
Result ? Absolutely smooth operation, no performance issues. EW Opus obviously can't handle multioutput, when it has all 16 instruments occupied with separate MIDI inputs and audio outputs.
So it is much better to follow the single instance per instrument approach when creating larger orchestral templates.
But maybe everyone already knows this, except me ... :-)

Edit: The joy didn't last long - after saving a perfectly working template I didn't open it anymore - S1 freezes when opening the template. I contacted support, now I'm waiting ...

I'm getting desperate, I tried a similar template in Cubase, there again the imported expression maps don't work for some instruments. I've been dealing with this for too long and as a result I can't work ...
