  • Zippering effect holding note in VE Pro 11262 on my PC but not on my Mac

    First of all I have changed my Mac to a Mac Mini 2.0 Quad Core i7, much more powerful than my former 1st gen 2.66 Quad Core Mac Pro. I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.1, just released today but this happens in 10.8 as well.

    When I open a single instance of Play 3.0.39 and load just 1 patch, i.e. a Hollywood Orchestral Woodwinds Flute, I can play it with a 256 buffer and there is no zippering when I hold a note. If i do the same in this version of VE Pro on my Mac, ditto. But if I do the same with this version on my PC, I get the zippering. On thePC it is running from an SSD while on the Mac a regular 7200 HD.

    I have changed nothing else on my PC so I am bewildered. 

    EDIT: If when I connect, I choose a latency of 3 buffers instead of the 2 I have used until now , it is fine.  My RME HDSPe-AIO is now in a Sonnet Echo Express Pro PCI-e to Thunderbolt chasis, but as Thunderbolt is supposedly as fast if not faster than pci-e, I don't know why that would change anything. Also, in VE Pro on my Mac, I can still operate with NONE for the same audio card and it is still fine.

    Weird. Nothing I cannot live with but strange.

    Sounds like a network latency/bandwidth issue. First of all, make sure you are not connecting over Wifi...

    Martin, I am connected by an ehternet AFAIK, as I always have been. Coming out of my wireless router is two cales, one goes to the Mac Mini and one to the PC.

    If I new how to attach a screenshot here, I could just show you:) but in the server window it says Slave:192.168.1.68 JAY PC (64) as it always has.

    Is there a setting somewhere I am msissing since I went to Mountain Lion on the Mac?

    I understand, but just make sure the Wifi is OFF on the Mac mini. Many people are connected over both physical and wifi, and sometimes the wifi connection has priority...

    Martin, you are beyond brilliant, that was indeed the issue. Iturned Wi-Fi off and connected and all is well. Then I turned Wi-Fi back on so that both my Mini and my wiofe's iMac in the other room cn connec tto my network.

    Is that always going to have to be my procedure? I never had to do this before and as I say, I did not intentionally change any settings for my network.

    You could simply run your wired network on a separate subnet. With both the wired and wifi on the same subnet, you are bound to run into issues.

    EDIT: Apple sorted it out for me. Thanks, Martin.
