  • Sync-ized Dim Strings - many more crackles than other libraries when using time stretch

    I discovered today that the Synchronized Dimension Strings put much more strain on the system than the other Synchron libraries I have (Strings Pro, Strings Elite, WW, sync-ized WW).  With the other libraries the time stretching is perfectly manageable but not so with dim strings.

    For example, I have two mics active for the flute and I can leave time stretching on and play fast stacc notes just fine (say, 1/16th at 120 bpm).  But the same line with two mics on in Dim strings is unplayable.  So it's the same number of mics playing - why would there be a huge difference in performance?

    There must be an option somewhere that I'm missing in the Dim library.

    Any ideas out there?

    Thanks,

    Hello Richard, 

    For the Dimension Strings, each player also has a seperate reverberation (on each channel), and if you are using impulse responses, the CPU hit is quite high.

    Try with the non-convo mixer presets, that should work better. 

    Best,
