Live use, low latency, lots of sends

My guess is that it's the VSTi's that are causing the issue. Have you tried it without them?

I haven't tried removing Superior Drummer, I will try that, but I have to have that work, so it will be more of a step to see if that is causing the issue, as opposed to a solution.

What's your ASIO latency? I don't see where you mentioned a specific number... Scott

ASIO is set to 64 samples. Again, using this as a live mixer, so low latency is a must. Anything more than 64, and one of my drummers can notice.

Have you bumped to 128 or higher to see if the problem goes away? Once again, just as troubleshooting technique, not as a "solution". Run any DPC latency utilities to see if you may have drivers or hardware inserting problems into the mix? Just because you have services disabled and Windows "optimized" doesn't mean there can't be a problem there... Scott

They are triggered vis an Alesis DM10 Studio Kit (Electronic). I run MIDI through my audio snake to a MIDI Sport interface. Does ReaSamplamatic 5000 support multi layered samples, and is it more efficient than Superior Drummer? I will check the CPU usage on that channel when I get off tonight.

i think drums on a separate pc would be wise. if youre mixing on pc, which is already adventurous, you should maybe have it set up for just mixing and id run virtual instruments on other pc's. heres my setup: but the computer is just being a midi module.

Turning off eist/turboboost helped in my setup. Maybe you can manually increase the multiplier to I got my 3.3 xeon at 3.5

my i3 can't be overclocked anyways. Although I have done other CPU's in the past, and as long as you don't push it too far, it works just fine.

I surprised no one mentioned your RAM.(Unless I missed it?) How much ram do you have installed on your i3 system? Superior drummer alone needs 2+ GB to run efficiently. add in everything else, plus the OS needing some and your looking at 4GB minimum to keep things running decent. I'd say 8 min to be safe running a live setup. The member to ask would probably be Serr( ). Also if your runnning superior drummer off of the same drive your recording to, and its a stock laptop drive, the drive speed may be causing issues(probably a 5400 rpm or slower), since Superior is pulling large samples for drum sounds.(It may load the full kit into RAM, I'm not sure) Just some thoughts... also check out this thread...
