+ FX: add option to run anticipative FX synchronously during playback start
* Includes branch: optimized FX preset management

Is there additional info on these?

Thanks,
Mario

Hi! After changing output directory via "Browse..." the "Apply" button stays disabled. I don't know in which pre-release version it stopped working, sorry.

Agreed..

This "+ FX: add option to run anticipative FX synchronously during playback start"

Seems like it is useful but not quite sure where it helps. I definitely have some occasional glitches on playback as have reaper set to not run fx unless playing. Hopefully this can help?

In the help text in Preferences it says:

Limits anticipative (render-ahead) FX processing to realtime during playback start, improving compatibility with some plug-ins.

Hm..not that much info imo...

When I saw this I hoped that there will be an improvement to the "Move up" / "Move down" current way of organizing the Presets, but I have found nothing new :-(

So what is this ?

Chain PDC mode option "Ignore plugin delay" is really great. I use it for my master track and some other sub-group tracks (all loaded with hi-latency plugins). In my case, these tracks actually don't need any plugin compensation. Dropouts and crackles are completely gone, i can play project at 64 samples. I have issues using 512/1024 samples before (CPU load was less than 10%).

Hopefully i am not celebrating too soon - have to do additional tests ASAP

Hello,

Is it possible to add these options inside the mouse modifier, please?

This definitely gets my vote again

Would speed up workflow a lot to have this thanks!

[ovnis]

Mouse modifier: more simple and faster.

From the prior release notes I took it as them improving the speed when dealing with very large numbers of presets. I don't believe there's a functional difference, just performance.

Can you explain why your busses don't need PDC? I'm super curious about this because I do mega processing on subgroups (DRUM/INST/BASS) and same thing - i9-10900k flying at under 10% CPU but if Oeksound Soothe is involved then the thing is toast at even moderate buffer settings.

I wonder if it is related to this https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=244106

Unfortunately, you can't do that with tracks, which are playing in "parallel", like subgroups - they must be latency compensated. But you can do it with "serial" channels, which are sending 100% signal from one to another chanel and so on including master track. When mixing, i am regulary using few "serial" channels before master channel. They are always loaded with demanding hi-latency plugins, so disabling latency compensation there really helps.

It really depends a lot of your mixing template.

sorry to hi-jack but have you tried making a pre-master bus and putting your master bus plugins on there. You can get a huge performance gain doing that.

In the Render to File-dialog?

Auto-cross fades don't work when copying and pasting razor edits:



Visual feedback when dragging razor edits is buggy/inconsistent depending on the x-fade and trim settings. If both settings are on the trim behavior is not previewed while dragging:



If both settings are off, trim behavior is previewed while dragging, even though it doesn't actually trim once the mouse is released:

When i was talking about "serial" channels, i was actually talking about pre-master buses (either using folders or sends). I always have at least two of them. Disabling plugin latency on these channels helps a lot in my case - before i was having issues with 512 samples, now i have smooth playback with 64 channels. It's worth to mention that latency on pre-master channels is usually from 5000-10000 samples.

In any case, I have a feeling a lot of things related to PDC have been really improved with the latest dev version.

Possible to get some techinical background for this?

[rasmusmarshagen]

Razor edit still needs the option to follow relative grid in my opinion, like its doing when moving items/envelopes etc using time selection. Right now its snapping to grid despite having enabled relative grid. Also needs to show tooltip, or at least have the option.

Good point. It should follow the snap relative grid option for sure
