DP9 glitches all the time

Post by holing00 »

Hi all, any help appreciated!

My DP glitches every few seconds whenever i playback!!! I'm using DP9, running with Vienna Ensemble Pro and Kontakt within VEP. I have a big orchestral template but not huge (around 50-60 MIDI tracks). I'm using Macbook Pro with the processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 and 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory. MBP was purchased half year ago. I have tried increasing the buffer size up to 2048 but it doesn't help. Have tried restarting everything, the project file, the computer. I just worked with a similar size project a week ago and nothing like this happened. Please help! :(

Are you experiencing drop out? Clicks? Hung notes? "Glitches" doesn't really say much about the problem. :roll:

There were VEP issues with DP9 that were supposedly fixed with later versions. Have you tried anything later than 9.0?

Was it one particular third party plug? If so which one? It might be helpful to other users to know. Thanks!
