Plugin display refresh rate?

Post by etl17 »

It seems that a lot of my plugins have a "choppy" update of their display (for example UAD plugins). Some others (for example iZotope plugins) are fine. Is there any way to force a more frequent / higher priority display update for problematic plugins?

i'm curious what's behind this, as some do work fine, and others do not.

This appears to happen with some VST plugins on both Mac and PC. E.g. a couple of the PSP Stereo plugins have a sluggish refresh. VST is new to DP, so no doubt there are some things to fix. Identifying specific plugins with this problem at MOTU Techlinks would be good.

Hmmm.... Isotope's RX 2 would not have prompted that remark -- it is a real resource hog with the GUI open. They did get a whole lot better with RX 3.

This leads me to believe that the plugin designer has more to do with the performance than DP.

An update. I've had this issue in a big way with EQuilibrium and COMPassion. I reported via MOTU techlink, and they've replicated/confirmed as a bug...and passed along to dev.
Hopefully we'll see some sort of fix at some point.

Cheers,
Kell

Anyone is aware if this is being addressed by the upcoming release 9?

Since the problem hasn't been DP or MOTU plugins, I wouldn't hold my breath.
