    Hello! Just bought VEPRO, great soft! Is it possible to make "sound out through audio card/net" jumper in Server application? It will very usable on slow mashines! VEPRO Standalone get less CPU power and have better latency - it better for make arrangement, and Server better for mixdown. Best regards, Vadim

    Hello V_ad_im,

    This is not possible at the moment, but it will be with the next big upgrade that is expected in summer.

     EDIT: [:$] Just talked to our developer, and  I´m afraid that was a misunderstanding on my side. We´ll look into the options though.

    Best,

    Paul

    Thank you very much! Sorry for my bad english - it was "throw" in my first edition of letter, but I mean "through" )) If I work using one computer, there is CPU overloads and sound drop outs, if I using VEPRO as Server (not sufficient power in my mac..), CPU using about 40% and overload peaks 20-30 times per minute. But If I using same instance as standalone, there is about 13% cpu using, and no clicks acuured but it needs each time to change midi routing in Cubase, if I change VEPRO standalone to SERVER for mixdown in non real time purposes. ) What will be also in next big upgrade, if it is no secret?

    Which soundcard do you use ?

    CPU power is only one factor when it comes to stable audio output.

    Of course the LAN connction is also something to check. I´m a big fan of Gigabyte boards but heard, that they sometimes might have problems with realtime applications like VE Server or comparable setups when using LAN to LAN connections.

    Did I understand you right that you want try to use onboard sound or do you have a dedicated 2nd soundcard for the server ?

    in this case I use built in soundcard (iMac) out for all, Cubase and Vepro Standalone, and no clicks accured. In this project no Lan connection, because I use all in one computer. And, Vepro standalone have better latency, than Server - may be because it is not need return sound back to sequencer, just send it to soundcard. You may to try it and listen yourself - play piano or percussion (fast attack sounds) in standalone and server and compare - sound accured from standalone bit quickly, and compare cpu load (for example, Alicias Keys with turned on hall impulse overload my cpu in server mode, if I play quickly and many notes, but all is ok in standalone mode. In both, Cubase and Vepro standalone I set buffer = 256. Buffer setting in Vepro server = 1. May be, if set buffer = 0, latency will be same as standalone, but it need much more cpu power..

    If it works for you that way - why not.

    But I bet that you can get your CPU load down when you use a dedicated soundcard. of course ASIO for all etc does the job for the onboard card, but if you are interested in low latency playback, especially when you mention piano modules, I would definately consider a pro audio card in favour of the onboard solutions.

    Yes, I have Apogee duet, but last time I has problem (clicks and overloads) with it in Mac Os 10.6.6 and I stop using it for next day (now Apogee support team suggested me to update to 10.6.7, I will test it after finish project) Usually, latency of Duet identical built in soundcard for me - both 256samples (but, of course, duet sounds better :)
