DP 9.12 spikes in playback with only 1 VI

Post by NealF »

Just got the free update and now when I try to play my old Ivory piano VI it's crackling all over. Starts and stops, too. The playback indicator keeps filling up fast as well.

I've tried it in 64 and 32 bit mode. There's no other VI and only one audio track, to it seems the playback should be next to nothing.

Any ideas?

OK. Did some testing. Seems it's only the Ivory plugin that's doing it.

Does the processing meter fill up when this happens as well? Or is it just the playback meter?

There's a pref in Ivory that fixes this. 'Offline Maximum Voices' should be set to Off.

It was just the playback meter.

But I changed the prefs setting as per dix's reply and that fixed it.

Thanks guys.
