Working crashes at 192SR 32 bit described

Post by Timeline »

I have updated may Mac all the way yet these crashes occur. I'm working on a project and up to version 7 taken by the auto saves. Thats 7 crashes. Most of the crashes have been when I change lengths of MIDI notes and the others when moving the timeline curser backwards manually. These bugs are amplified at hi SRs. On the other hand the beauty of working at these high rates is sound and seems for some reason improved latency. Can anyone explain why latency would be better?

At high sample rates, the audio clock is running faster so, for any given buffer size, that buffer is filled and emptied more often. Result: lower latency. Ever note how the companies selling interfaces always spec latency figures with tiny buffer and high sample rates?

It's like the buffer is a bucket with a hole in the bottom...
The size of the bucket represents the buffer size.
The hole size presents the sample rate.

For any given bucket size, a bigger hole is gonna' require filling the bucket more often to keep the stream flowing.

Thanks HCM
I think I will stick to this SR for a while as I save often enough to live with the crashes and my computer is handling it.
