I am getting occasional clicks, when having loaded and playing just a single instrument, perhaps every 30 secs on average. This is on the VE3 standalone, playing out via a an RME HDSP9652, on a separate slave. It doesn't seem to make a difference if I play one or 20 tracks.
First I though it may be a word clock issue (however everything should be clocked and terminated correctly), but when I set the buffer to 128 it gets even worse, and when set to 512 it's practically gone. However, 512 is too high, and I would expect a better performance from this machine. CPU usage in the VI player displays 20%. Is there anything I should be looking at?
spec:
VE3 build 3170 64 bit standalone
XP64 PRO
Intel Xeon E5420 2.5GHz Quad Core
Tyan S5397 i5400 Motherboard
16GB RAM
2x 750GB sample drives
RME HDSP9652 soundcard
Midi Over Lan 3
Cheers,
Dom
