Buffering Questions
I have an AMD Ryzen 7 2700, 8core @ 3.2Ghz
16GB RAM
OS and Reaper sitting on an NVMe drive
Project files sitting on SSD
Roland Rubix 44 USB interface
I have a 60 track session (a lot of them doing nothing) and a good amount of plugins going. Everything works fine with my USB Streaming Buffers set to 3 getting 10ms latency. Higher buffers/latency is not useable for recording.
In this scenario CPU running about 15%; Memory at 50%.
If I had something like Ozone9 on Arturia Pigments in the mix, which are intensive plugins, then I start getting popping and crackling.
CPU running about 20%; Memory at 50%
If I increase my USB Streaming buffers the crackling and popping goes away - but the latency is not workable if I'm trying to record as well. Flip/flopping my buffers for recording vs mixing would be annoying too.
1. I'm curious what limitation is causing the crackling? My computer cpu/memory resources are not taxed at all. How can I maintain low latency in my current workflow?
2. Are there other settings I can adjust to increase performance with more intensive plugins?
3. Are there any scripts add-ons that would add a button to the tool bar for toggling your buffer settings between two setting; to save digging into menus?
Thanks in advance for anything you can offer.
