cubase sx3 problem

[liman021]

pozdrav...imam problem sa sx3.prilikom rada na aranzmanu hard disk iskoriscenost mi je 100%.to je opcija ispod cpu iskoriscenosti.to se desi posle odredjenog vremena kada freezujem instrumente i efekte koje opet vratim iz freeze opcije.zastoto je samo moja pretpostavka da ovo moze biti problem

[dacko]

Cubase SX3 ima neke ne razjašnjene bugove po ovom pitanju. Gledao sam i po stranim forumima, ali niko ne spominje ništa. Slična stvar se i meni desila, i ti si jedina osoba (za koju znam) kojoj se pojavio isti/sličan problem...

S tim što...

Meni se ovo desi kad freezujem instrumente koji imaju više od jednog output-a, i kad kompletan folder/projekat prebacim na primer na drugi računar da bi se tamo radio mix. Zapravo, dovoljno je da i samo promenim ime foldera za projekat... Taj metar u cubase-u pokazuje da je hard 100% opterećen, i jedva svira projekat, a lampica na kućištu za hard se ni ne pali.

Rešenje?

Nuendo. U Nuendu nema ovih problema.

gresis... ima... sve sljaka ok dok ne freezujem neki instrument... posle toga radi jako otezano, i koci harddisk...

Vjerujem da znam u chemu je problem!

Kad se radi freeze instrumenata dio audio fajlova se nakrca u buffer, a buffer se nalazi u RAM memoriji. Cubase i Nuendo imaju malo glupo rjeshen buffering prilikom snimanja (export, bounce, freeze)... naime buffer uzme 1/4 ram memorije shto je apsolutni idiotizam jer smanjenjem RAM-a za 25% gubish vishe preformansi nego shto samim bufferom dobijesh na "glatkochi" playback-a. Vjerujem da se to rjeshava s ovim postupkom:

----------------------------------------------------------------

add the following line to your system.ini file after the [386 Enh] tag so it looks as follows:

[386 Enh]

ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1

this makes the system use RAM more often rather than the virtual memory.
this improves system performance since RAM is much faster than the hard-disk. (note: do not use this option if you have less than 128MB of RAM
installed) (Go to 'start'>'run' and type system.ini - a notepad will be launched containing the system.ini file. add the above line after [386 Enh]
so it looks as above. there will be other lines in the section you're adding
to, just add it before them. now save the changes you made and close the
notepad - as ever, you will have to restart for the change to take effect).

also add or edit the entry after the [vcache] tag in system.ini so it
appears as follows:

[vcache]

MinFileCache=16384
MaxFileCache=16384

this limits the amount of your system memory (RAM) that windows uses as a buffer or cache when reading from or writing to disk drives to 16MB instead of the cubase default of 1/4 of your system RAM/Memory which is often too high.

if the [vcache] tag does not exist in your system.ini, add it after the [386
enh] tag and it's contents so i looks as above.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Nadam se da che ovo bit od koristi. Ja sam napravio ove izmjene i sad nemam nikakvih teshkocha.

[statusband]

Da nebih smarao sa nekim tekstovima,evo ti odgovora na tvoj pitanje ukratko.
1.Prvo,anfreeze sve instrumente,onda...
2.Freeze one koje zelis..
3.Ctrl+S
4.Sve radi kako treba...

Zakljucak:

Cim uradis Freeze nekih VST instrumenata idi na "Save" ili ti "Ctrl+S" i nema problema,a ako odradis Freeze,a ne stisnes "Save" on pobrlji.
Nadam se da sam pomogao.Pozdrav

Moguće, kažem meni je Nuendo rešio sve probleme sa freezovanjem.

[liman021]

ako sam dobro razumeo posle svakog frizovanog kanala udarim save opciju.probao,ali i dalje hard disk problem ostaje.

[Arthur]

e da, i zasto mi znacajno uspori zoom in/out kada se masina malo optereti??? ovo bas frustrira...

[liman021]

shiva-ako bi mogao svojim recima na brzinu da objasnis kako odraditi varijantu bio bih ti zahvalan posto nisam neki hakeras a dok provalim gde sta dodati i kako ode mladost!

Dakle trebash editirat fajl system.ini koi se po default-u nalazi u c:\windows. PRVO NAPRAVI KOPIJU TOG FAJLA U NEKI DRUGI DIREKTORIJ!!! Ukoliko bilo shto zapne da imash kopiju starog fajla!
Fajl otvori pomochu notepad-a (desni klik na fajl -> open with -> iz liste programa izaberi notepad) i zatim u fajlu potrazhi red u kojem pishe:

[386 Enh] i ispod njega kopiraj ovaj text:
ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1

sve skupa treba izgledati ovako:

[386 Enh]

ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1

Zatim potrazhi red u kojem pishe:

[vcache] ...i ispod njega kopiraj ovaj text:

MinFileCache=16384
MaxFileCache=16384

Ukoliko nemash red u kojem pishe [vcache] upishi ga ruchno poslje reda u kojem pishe: [386 Enh]

Na kraju treba izgledati ovako:

[vcache]

MinFileCache=16384
MaxFileCache=16384

U nastavku posta je copy-paste cjelog dokumenta prema kojem sam tweek-ako XP. JA NISAM NAPRAVIO SVE NAVEDENE TWEEK-ove (poglavito one s disejblanjem mrezhe) pa razmislite o svemu prije nego neshto iskljuchite. No vechina savjeta je izuzetno korisna i bezopasna. Boldane preporucham od srca! Uzme malo vremena ali na kraju se isplati... trust me!

1. make sure you have no IRQ conflicts or memory range conflicts. you can check this by looking at the properties of each device and checking for anything being written about conflicts.

2. make sure you have reliable drivers for everything.

tweaks:

3. disable unnecessary 'startup' items. this, as in win 9x can be done by
clicking the start button, then run and typing msconfig. now go to the
'startup' tab and un-tick any items you don't feel you need. this method is
totally undoable (as long as the option doesn't stop windows from loading
properly) - just excercise a bit of caution but of course, you'll have
backed up all you files before you started tweaking anyway won't you?

4. windows xp now self-optimises to some extent. it attempts to monitor your
usage patterns and optimises the file system accordingly (every three days
upon system inactivity). at boot-time, it will pre-fetch some of the data
which is often used directly after boot-up which should speed up your
application loading time.

5. windows xp, like 2000 uses 'services'. these are individual windows
components which are specialised to run various functions. unnecessary
services can be disabled to preserve memory and processor power:

go to 'start' > 'run' and type services.msc - this should bring up the
services screen. set all services which aren't disabled to 'manual'. now
restart your machine (it will take longer to boot for just this time) and go
back to the services screen after a minute or so. any services which are not
started after you have used your audio applications should be ok to disable,
but you can leave them on 'manual' just incase. any services which are
started should be set to 'automatic' so that windows will start them when it
boots. do excercise caution though...and always back up you files before
tweaking...you should disable the services for any windows components you
have disabled as windows probabaly won't do it.

there are several 'generic' services that you probably won't use and should
therefore be able to disable such as:

'portable media serial number' - unless you have a portable music device
that you plug in to your pc.

'print spooler' - if you don't do any printing from your audio install you
can disable it.

'help and support' - windows alleged "help".

'telnet' - unless you use it, and if you don't know what it is, trust me,
you don't use it...

'error reporting' - as you'd expect, it's windows error reporting.

'task scheduler' - lets face it, it's awful but it now does some of the
aforementioned data pre-fetching. personally, i'd turn it off.

'indexing service' - for the microsoft 'search for files...' function

'fast user switching' - as the name implies...

'internet connection/firewall sharing' - if you don't use the net or share a
connection/firewall on this install, disable it.

6. as with all new-ish microsoft os's, xp has the oh-so-useful 'automatic
update' feature. you must disable this or prepare to lose takes...you've
been warned:

go to 'start' > 'settings' > 'control panel' > 'performance and
maintainance' > 'automatic updates' and select 'turn off automatic updating,
i want to update my computer manually'.

7. windows xp, like me has the debateably useful 'system restore' function
which backs up your system files periodically to try to ensure that you can
never kill your machine by dodgy installs etc etc. in my experience, system
restore is a bad thing as it uses a surprisingly large amount od resources
and causes a lot of disk activity which, while supposedly only running
during system inactivity, actually runs quite a large percentage of the
time. in a true audio system, it should be disabled, you can still make
restore points manually if you want to anyway...

right-click on 'my computer' and choose 'properties'> 'system restore' and
choose 'turn off system restore on all drives'.

8. boost overall system performance by increasing the irq priority of the
cmos real-time clock by doing this:

copy this:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contr
ol\PriorityControl]
"IRQ8Priority"=dword:00000001

and paste it into a text editor such as notepad or wordpad. save the file as
whatever name you want, perhaps boost_irq_priority with a .reg file
extension e.g. boost_irq_priority.reg - you can now close the text-editor
and simply double-click on the file you just created to enter the
information into the registry.

to undo this tweak, repeat the procedure but copy this instead into the text
file:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contr
ol\PriorityControl]
"IRQ8Priority"=dword:00000000

you should find that your overall system performance increases from this
tweak.

9. make sure your DMA capable devices are run in DMA mode which uses much
less cpu power...right-click on 'my computer' select 'properties' > 'device
manager' and find and expland the entry named 'IDE ATA/ATAPI device
controllers'. now click on 'advanced settings' and check each channel and
each device on that channel. you should set the devices which are DMA
compatible (most new-ish devices are) to 'DMA if available'.

10. ... ovo se nalazi u mom prvom postu.

11. OVO ZNA BIT PROBLEMATICHNO I JA TO NISAM RADIO!
audio machines always benefit from removing acpi (advanced computer &
power interface) as windows then has less control of your pc. go to control
panel > system > hardware > device manager > click on computer then double
click on Advanced Computer and Power Interface (ACPI) pc. click on the
drivers tab, then on update driver. don't let windows install automatically,
choose to select the driver from a list. select 'standard pc' then install
the drivers and allow the pc to reboot.

also, go to control panel > system > hardware > device manager > click on
computer then double click on standard pc (there may be 2 of them, do this
on both).

12. if you are experiencing pop/crackles from your soundcard, try optimising
windows performance for background tasks. it is not reccomended to alter the
performance options program-by-program as this has been known to cause
problems - be careful of altering program priorities with RME audio cards,
their website has the proper information on it as regards priorities. (go to
'Control Panel' > 'System' >' Advanced' and select 'Best performance for
background services' - or similar).

13. make sure hardware graphics acceleration is on FULL. this takes some
load off your processor (right-click on the desktop and select 'properties'
from the menu. now click on 'settings' then 'advanced' then
'troubleshooting' now set the 'hardware acceleration' slider up to full).

14. turn of visual effects. these consume unnecesary amounts of cpu time.
(control panel > system > advanced > performance settings > visual effects.
Select custom, de-select all options and apply).

15. make sure that only one user is logged on at a time. individual user
accounts may be handy but windows actually leaves the programs and utilities
for each user open until that user closes them.

16. is error reporting annoying you? you can enable or disable it by going
to to 'control panel' > 'system' > 'advanced'. now click on 'error
reporting' and choose either 'enable' or 'disable'.
